About my College:

Modern College Ganeshkhind was an evolving college when I secured admission here in 1996 for F.Y. BCom. Infrastructure was in a primary stage and looking at that many would not go for Admission immediately. However the college had a strong background of P.E. Society which said it all. Initially there were a few challenges in terms of classrooms and other infrastructure. However these challenges were overcome in a brilliant way by the enthusiastic and hardworking professors.
Our professors were really encouraging and maintain a very good student teacher relationship always. College encouraged to participate in all extra curricular activities and managed funds for us as and when required. We had a great bonding with college professors , principal and the non teaching staff as well. Extracurricular activities like guest lectures , exhibitions , Vividha , Entrepreneurship skills workshops, earn and learn schemes and many more kept us always engaged. College has a major part in overall personality development of their students and creating a good brand in this educational arena.
A good connect with Alumni over the last 20 years since the time we passed out is a great achievement as well.  All the best to college as it grows by leaps and bounds !!!

My Profile

I have been in the area of Human Resources in various organisations like Wipro, Syntel, Patni Computers, Tech Mahindra. After pursuing BCom from Modern College , I went ahead to pursue Master in Commerce, then Masters in Computer Management and recently Masters in Business Studies all from Pune University. Have recruited young talent through campuses across India. I love to interact with students and network with people in Industry. Since last 3 years working for a Tata Group company as a SAP HR functional consultant, now more on IT Side of HR. Developing systems for HR as a passion and a profession as well. Modern College has been an integral part of my overall development and growth throughout so far. Thanks to the college and all my Gurus who have been there for their students at all times. 

Congratulations to my college on completing *Silver Jubilee* and even for building really good individuals for the society. Keep up the good work and let us know if you ever need our help. Shall be glad to assist !!!!

“It is rightly said that struggles are required in order to survive in life, because in order to stand up, you got to know what falling down is like” Isn’t it is right? Yes, off course! Struggles, hard time, bad patch in life are great teachers. I believe in this because I am a person who stood amongst all the struggles. Today I would really like to pen down my experiences with people, situations, life and how I battled with them and stood up.

 

There was a time when I and my family used to stay in Chawl. My father was an auto rickshaw driver, mom a homemaker and my siblings were studying. We used to live hand to mouth. Such situations makes  you to work hard for money, it is a fact, but if you have urge to study and soar high, you can do it by earning part time as well. I had scored 70% in SSC and 73% in HSC. My result made me sure that I can’t stop studying. I need to take up graduation in Come What May Situation; my inner voice told me that. I took up admission without even keeping in mind how I will manage money for that. Started pursuing B.Com in Modern College Ganeshkhind, which gave my life a “U” turn. Today also I say it to many people that whatever I am today, it’s not only because of my hard work but also because of my college and teachers. My success somewhere belongs to them.

 

While doing B.Com I had come at a stage where I had to earn because of my poor financial condition. I took up work of a newspaper delivery boy wherein I used to get up early in morning at 3 am and used to collect newspaper and after that I used to attend college. Every day I was a late entrant in class which came to the notice of VijayaKulkarni madam and one day she asked me the reason for being late. I told her about my financial condition & she became an angel whom god had sent for me. The moment she heard about my condition she stood up to help me. There are people who leave you in your worst situation but there are few good people who hold your hand in your bad times. She was amongst them. It is said that your bad phase in life teaches you what life is! It is also said that “A mother is a mother at your home but a teacher is your mother in school”. She helped & guided me for my studies, provided books for which I didn’t had money to purchase,  she also paid my Graduations and Post graduation’s Fees by sponsoring me a scholarship. For that reason I always used to strive hard and score first rank. I wouldn’t have had been at this position if wouldn’t have met Kulkarni and Joshi Madam.

 

Later my education led me to make an entry in Maersk Global Service Centres . Today I have become a Manager of Maersk Service Line. Maersk is a global shipping company which has its own different segments in Drilling, Tankers, Oil etc. It is said that your struggle starts with your life and ends with your life. To get into Maersk wasn’t an easy journey. After B.Com I was struggling to get a decent job. I used to ask my friends about openings in any of the companies. I still remember that incident where I had requested my friend to refer me in the organization wherein he was working but he referred his sibling. That was the moment when I was let down but later on….start typing my own page.

I read somewhere that “As I look back in my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being redirected to something better” – A quote by Steve Maraboli.

 I got encouraged by this quote & I kept on trying and my attempts never went in vain. The more you try the more you come with outcomes/ experiences which you should not do the next time when opportunity knocks your door. I joined Maersk in the year 2009. From 2009 to 2016 I got 6 promotions. It wasn’t that easy. I had changed the way I used to look at things. My approach towards life changed, tried to become different & increased my hard work. All what I had in my mind is to grow in my career. I have visited 7-8 countries & have travelled almost 30 times in a span of 7 years. I got best leader award for 3 consecutive years from 2013 to 2015. I have completed Green belt in lean Six Sigma which is one of the milestone in my career. These achievements mentioning is not to pen down but I would really like to give a message to every child/ student who is struggling with his/her poor conditions. But you can always go ahead in life. Earn while learn only if you have desire to study hard & go ahead in life. A person can overcome bad situation if the person has a strong will to come out of the situation. It’s the one which will lead to your way.

 

A strong will with a good nature would always attract good people to you. It’s always not important that only blood relations will help us. Sometimes relations which are made by us by helping others are the ones one should retain. In my case, I would really thank VijayaKulkarni& Joshi Madam,  if they would had not helped me, I don’t know where I would have been today.

So a message which I would like to give everyone is to make friends, struggle is part & parcel of life, overcome bad times, Soar high with help of education and make good relations & retain them.

There are 2 important days in your life: 1st day is the day you are born & 2nd day to find out why you are born.
