What is your favorite travel memory?
My recent visit to Langkawi was a refreshing experience. The island’s calm, scenic environment, pristine beaches, and relatively uncrowded spaces offered a welcome sense of balance. The slower pace, natural beauty, and quiet moments made it an ideal place to pause, reflect, and return feeling renewed.
How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?
For me, each day has been a journey of learning and adaptation, where global education comes alive through meaningful people, strong partnerships, and a shared sense of purpose. The experience has shaped how I grow, think, and contribute in deeply rewarding ways. It's great to help young minds through our international students.
What is the best story you've heard from a return student?
Their stories of how wandering through India’s streets and cities, they are discovering India, and how these moments have quietly reshaped them. Along the way, they have found meaningful friendships at Ashoka that felt effortless and lasting, and classrooms where faculty lectures challenged how they think.
If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?
I would be happy to participate in a Staff Mobility Programme at one of our partner universities in Europe, as it would offer valuable exposure to diverse higher education systems, international best practices, and peer learning. Such an experience would meaningfully strengthen my professional skills and contribute to more effective global collaboration at Ashoka.
What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?
Ashoka University’s working culture is unique for its openness, collaboration, and shared sense of purpose. Ideas are valued across roles, conversations are thoughtful and respectful, and there is genuine encouragement to learn, innovate, and grow. The environment supports both professional excellence and personal well-being.
What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?
I believe the biggest factor in being a successful company is its people. When individuals feel valued, trusted, and aligned with a shared purpose, they collaborate more effectively, adapt to change, and consistently deliver meaningful impact. A strong culture enables sustained growth and resilience.
