Our present is always a reflection of the past and having MAIT as a part of my life has been a

blessing in disguise. The guidance and mentor ship of the teachers and management at MAIT plays

a big role in where I stand in my career and life today.

I was placed in Infoedge from MAIT as a senior executive corporate sales and in less than 3 years

of my corporate journey I am GM sales and marketing for a leading IIT based start up handling a

team of 20 people PAN India. I have always found the zeal of our faculty members higher than any

student in making sure that the students are always prepared to achieve the best in life. This has

always acted as a constant support for me knowing someone is always there to back me up while

working on my weakness and capitalising on my opportunities and strengths.

I feel proud to be MAITian and the memories, relationship and experience associated with it will

stay with me forever.
