Was the largest project bagged by the branch in the year. project was valued at 2 million USD. Was able to convince management to bid for the project even though they were not keen to do so. Was able to bag the project and complete it with healthy margins.

Post MBA Goal:

Post MBA I want to work in an operations role as that is where my expertise lies. Preferably I want to work in the supply chain sector. With advancing technology I feel this sector has a good potential for disruption. Once I gain experience in the field by working at a large company like Nestle, I want to start my own venture to make supply chains greener.
