STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The
quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient.
If one were to ask my friends to describe me they would describe me as a very pleasant,
diverse, active and intelligent woman. I think one of my most distinguishing characteristics is
the diversity of experiences I possess. I am a science student and a man with technical
aptitude and an interest in management. I also have a passion for travelling and understanding
different cultures of the world. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with
varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. I strongly believe that although some are
not related directly, all these qualities will influence my graduate work.
I have a short stint at Infosys Technologies Ltd. as a systems engineer. I foresee myself not
only as an engineer but also as an individual who leads people by example, manages
resources and time effectively and efficiently. Above all, I see myself to be a significant part
of an organisation.
My engineering degree has given a strong foundation to my analytical skills. Being an
engineer and working in the industry for small duration has enhanced my technical skills. The
nature of business today is undergoing a transformation which demands constant innovation.
Thus, to be successful in this field, a person needs to be highly motivated and ready to face
challenges. He/she should be able to manage each and every resource such as people, money
and resources and then, to utilise them for the growth of the business. Some of the other
essential skills to possess are leadership quality, ability to motivate and work as part of a
team, time management skills, ability to understand and solve problems and good
communication skills. As innovation has become the differentiator, the manager needs to be
quick at thinking and should be in touch with the market scenario, both at the national and
global level. Keeping a track of the field, ongoing industry trends is a must.
Pursuing MBA will help me in taking managerial decisions and gain business acumen. My
industrial experience will help correlating my technical aspects with managerial subjects for
practical applications. Management study will help me to understand the relationship among
the diverse concepts through organisational behaviour.
At Faculty of Management Studies, along with the enroute to my vision, I wish to hone my
skills of leadership, perseverance and communication. I will gain experience in coping with
pressures and dealing with the gravity of problems, in terms of complexity and importance.
Above all, the highly intellect faculty and peer group from diverse background and wide
exposure at FMS, will broaden my perspective and strengthen my foundation in the principles
of management.
