Vedica seems to be a perfect fit for my future endeavors as I always have been interested in pursuing a career in management. Not opting for a B-school was a decision that I made because of some things that a traditional MBA lacks, like analysis of one’s skill set and strengths, emphasis on communication and teamwork, and overall personal growth. Vedica’s curriculum offered all of this with a lot more. One of the things that excites me the most about this journey would be the opportunity to get a hands-on experience and insights from the industry leaders before stepping out in the real world with their “Shadow a Woman Leader Program”.

I was born and brought up in a small town of Madhya Pradesh. I pursued my education from DPS Vindhyanagar. Then I completed my graduation with a B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering and immediately started to work with Headstrong. I was fortunate enough to work with accounts like Morgan Stanley, GE, and others. I have worked with Headstrong for several years and decided to upskill myself by joining Vedica.

Just like any other Indian MBA aspirant I had struck a deal that I would clear the CAT and join the top B-schools. Even though throughout the entire preparation zone I reached various dead ends of the road but the aspiration to graduate with a broader perspective in mind became more dear to me and among my study peers I became a "Black Sheep" when I intertwined Business Ethics with International Policies. This pushed me to follow the road less traversed. When I had received provisional offer letters from a few of the coveted B-schools , my Facebook page showed me adverts of the emerging new cohort of Vedica and the rest is history... Vedica embodies "Freedom" for me: freedom at diverse levels of expression, companionship, to choose one's life decisions by taking a leap of faith and rising up with a huge sense of gratitude for who one is, what one has and working on one's infinite possibilities each day.

I snailed my way towards corporate culture by joining KEC International Ltd., the flagship company of the RPG Groups as their talent acquisition resource personnel for their strategic business unit - Business Operations for 14 months. Henceforth I wish to scale the corporate ladder in the Vedica way.

I was fascinated by Vedica’s closely crafted curriculum for the all-round development of the new era’s promising woman.

The Peer Learning Circle (PLC) – a platform where students can share what they have learnt with their fellow classmates which will help other students to learn and grow. Its residential programme makes me go thrill, as I always wanted a life far away from my family as it will help me become an independent girl and will help me to know more about myself and what I am capable of doing on my own. Besides that, I am looking forward to learn from most inspiring academics. Furthermore, the extra initiative to improve the communication skills, a unique way of teaching which is different from traditional one and helps women become professionals. The most important element is that they encourage women to be independent and live life on their own terms which is a great initiative to support women but still not followed by many institutes.

Vedica allowed me to choose. At the age of 22, Vedica gave me an opportunity to learn about the nuances in the fields of management as well as liberal arts, and then make a wise choice.

With Vedica's reimagined curriculum I was somehow able to reimagine a strong career for myself!
