🌟 Reflecting back on one of my greatest college achievements makes me feel very pleased. Being the first-ever project and startup expo in our college, it was a pivotal moment for showcasing innovation and talent. However, when I noticed the absence of registrations from my department, I knew immediate action was needed. Taking the initiative, I approached our Head of Department and swiftly devised a solution. Despite the challenge of our final year students being occupied with internships, I didn't let this setback deter me. Instead, I proposed the idea of presenting final year projects by second-year students – a bold move that paid off brilliantly. Through effective communication with faculty and leveraging my network of seniors and juniors, I orchestrated the registration process seamlessly. The result? Our department not only participated but excelled, clinching three out of seven awards at the expo. This experience underscored the importance of teamwork, communication, and mentorship in achieving success. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a remarkable feat and look forward to many more collaborations that drive innovation and excellence. #Leadership #Teamwork #Innovation #Mentorship #SuccessStory 🚀

Internship Insightfuls Since the past few days, it's been pretty monotonous at my internship. We've been working on the same robot for a month now, and even now new problems keep popping up. So the other day, we rewired the whole robot because the older wiring connections weren't sending data properly. After rewiring the whole thing didn't work so we had to fix it again! Apart from the internship, I have enrolled in the course " Private Equity and Venture Capital " by the University of Bocconi on Coursera. Some of the things that I learned from this course are the structure of Private equity funds, the lifecycles of companies, and their funding.
