Ever since I could remember there has always been an inclination towards science. The desire to understand how things worked has always intrigued me. Set on the inclination I always explored the basic application of science i.e. building a lemon battery to designing a simple pulley lift at science fairs at school. Thus making Production Engineering a good option. It provides a strong engineering foundation and also educates on the management of an industry. This is the very reason I was able to decide that I wanted a career in this field.
With my mother being a teacher the values of education have been inculcated into me from a very young age. I was always given a freedom to choose my career. With the existing inclination towards science I decided to go ahead with engineering. I have completed my schooling (Grades 1-10) from the prestigious institution of Indian School, Bahrain. Realizing that engineering was my focal point I decided to move from Bahrain to Mumbai to pursue engineering from a young age. This was made possible when I got admitted at Bhausaheb Vartak Polytechnic. The course dealt with building blocks of engineering like Machine Design, Tool Design, Metrology and Quality Control .These subjects covered the technical aspects and were based on a statistical approach towards completion of projects.
My under graduate program was a judicious mix of theory and practice. Subjects like Operation Research, Automation and Control Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Production and Operation management, Total Quality Management and Sales and Marketing management fascinated me and I made efforts to acquire extended knowledge on these outside the realms of my syllabus. These not only enhanced my learning but also prove...

... would like utilize my experiences and skills in contribution towards the research sectors of the university. The course work offered is a perfect blend of manufacturing trends and analytic methods of achieving manufacturing excellence.
I believe that technical skills have to be complemented with technological brilliance to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and I am confident the course presented will allow me to do that. We also live in an increasingly global environment where the ability to work in teams and have an understanding of different cultures is no longer a differentiator but a requirement. This course will give me a unique opportunity of working in teams of students from different countries and share with them my thoughts and opinions. Also I will be able to learn from them about diverse cultures and get a more global perspective.
