How are you different from others?

I think from my mind and not from my heart.
It is a filmy dialogue that a person should
think from heart. I believe that we have to
be rational and facts oriented. We should
give priority to our work in comparison to
our family.

Are you an idealist?

Not completely. We have to live in an
imperfect world. Our survival is more
important in the modern industry.

Who is your ideal in the industry -Sam

Pitroda or Bill Gates or someone else ?
My ideal is Bill Gates. I got plucked thrice
but I believe in the saying of Bill Gates who
believe in application of knowledge. He has
proved this also as his contemporary
academically more brilliant persons are far
behind him. I also wish to compensate for
my weaknesses by putting in more efforts
and achieving some credentials in the
corporate world.

How do you see your future in this fast

changing and evolving industry?
I see myself as an intrapreneur and I wish to
use my skills and abilities in introducing
technology for the benefit of common man. I
want to use my skills for bridging the digital
gap - which we call as digital divide. I wish
to introduce new applications of the
technology so that more and more persons
are able to get empowered with the aid of
technology. I can say in short "Technology
for empowerment of masses".

In your industry, which companies

fascinate you the most?
I admire DRDO, ISRO and other such
companies. Though these are government
organisations, but they are trying to
introduce technology for the development of
the common persons. They are picking up
challenging projects and trying to apply the
technologies in newer fields.

Who has helped you the most in your

development?
My family - as my father encouraged me to
study, my sisters guided me about what to
study and how. My computer teacher further
guided me about what to study and how. He
is like an elder brother to me.

What are your views about the new

generation - is it really responsible,
mature and able to understand the
braoder perspectives like earlier
generations?
No, the new generation is not a very
responsible generation in my opinion. I have
seen that the new generation students are
only relying on Tutions for their studies and
they dont study on their own. They are not
putting time for their health and fitness.
They are attached to TV more than
required. Thus they are not able to pay
proper attention to their own development.

What will you prefer - a large but

bureaucratic company or a small but
growing and organic company?

I prefer a small but growing and organic

company. Because, growing company tries
to adapt and adjust as per the market
forces. It is flexible, adaptive and adjusting
to the changing world. Thus this company is
better as I shall also be able to learn and
grow with it. There is a greater possibility of
creativity and innovation in these
companies.

What are your expectations from the

company where you want to work?
I want to work hard and improve myself, my
skills, my competence and the company
should provide me an opportunity to learn
and grow. I wish to give more and more
benefit to the company where I work and
therefore I expect that the company should
give me more and more space to work, to
experiment and to put in my efforts.

In your perception, how do your friends

describe you in your absence?
I dont have any idea, but I had an encounter
with my teacher, where I told my teacher
that I dont listen any wrong statement from
any person. I also had some encounter with
my seniors. These incidents have made my
image as that of a very straight forward and
fearless person.

Dont you think that the modern

corporate work require compromises,
adjustments and sometimes even slips?
I dont like this statement, but we have to
compromise sometimes. No person can
individually change the world and we have
to follow the rules of the world. We have to
take initiatives for our survival also.
