Briefly state in not more than 50 words:

Adversity faced in life.

Distinct contributions
to the society by you
or your family
members.

My formative years

Adversity faced by my family was after my elder sisters wedding, which resulted
financial problems and marital problems in my sisters marriage. Those years meant
drought in happiness in our family. I was studying diploma and decided that I will
study hard and bring some kind of happiness in family.
During 2013 North India floods I have taken an initiative to collect funds to donate
to CM relief fund, Uttarakhand. Simultaneously pursued with management for
contribution which resulted in donating one day salary of all BSNL employees to
relief fund.
My formative years are 3rd year of diploma and engineering college days. As it gave
me right attitude during my family turbulences, which led to me securing 4 th rank in
ECET and resulting a belief in me that I can achieve anything I want if I put mind to
it.

SECTION B
(Answer in not more than 200 words)
APPLICATION NO: 41500496396

1. Explain a situation when you were a part of a team where the group process and/or intended outcome failed. What
was your role, how did you contribute to the process or outcome, and what did you learn?

I was SPOC (single point of contact) from BSNL for implementing BSNL cloud one project. It was a joint venture
between M/s DimensionData and BSNL. This project implementation meant that BSNL could provide Hosting
services, Cloud computing Services and Managed services. My role was to design network architecture and
resource planning and implementation. Which meant I had to configure in our MPLS routers and co-ordinate with
M/s.Dimensiondata and NIB (National internet Backbone) BSNL Node in-charges for establishing connectivity
between Data centers and MPLS NIB routers. I was also responsible for procuring inventory required from BSNL
side. We successfully established 6 data centers India and launched Cloud services on April 2012. Although we
successfully delivered the infrastructure for the project, we are not able to attract enough number of customer and
its been more than 3 years are not able to capture the cloud computing market. Reason for not attracting the
customers for this project is same reason for decline of BSNL since past few years. Services which BSNL is
providing are not reaching the customers and many are unaware of products BSNL is providing. Pointing to the
fact
that
marketing
of
product
is
as
important
as
producing
it.
2. Describe an instance in which you took the strongest stand of your value system. What specific values were violated
and what was at stake for you?

Recently I went to trekking in Kodachadri with a group. I volunteered as sweep and my role was to make sure
nobody left behind and another member volunteered as lead whose responsibility was to interact with the local
guide and follow his lead. Lead will be in front and sweep will be at the end of the trek group. We started the trek
and one of our group member was ill and we slowed a bit. Eventually the group was split into 2 groups, as
protocol lead should stop the trek they should trace their path until the group is united. So we waited at the last
milestone for more than 30minutes unfortunately no one came back for us. Fortunately we have found a local who
has shown us the path up to next mile stone, where we met our group and I questioned the lead for the reason
behind not following the protocol as our group was at risk without any navigation. Finally we found out that
communication is not happening properly from lead to sweep. We replaced the lead and placed a mechanism such
that every group member shouted number sequence after some interval.

3. Explain a situation where you have brought about any improvement either in your self, work or society.

After I joined our office, I knew that I needed to increase my knowledge so that it can help me in optimizing and
innovation in my work. So I started taking networking course which was 8 hours per week for 3 months on my
own expenses. I worked hard between office and networking institute, and I successfully completed Cisco
certification and NIIT certification. After getting certifications I have conducted workshops for my colleagues to
share my knowledge for 1 month which was attended by more than 20 officers including our senior officials. And
made pavement for an order to reimburse money for certifications from our GM to encourage officials to gain
certifications and increase their knowledge. After my certifications I was made part of newly created team whose
purpose was to cater our internal projects which needed higher efficiency in managing and implementing them.
And also for Indian government projects which are vast and complex and need skills to coordinate with diverse
people across India.
