Male, 27.
10th CGPA: 9.8
12th CBSE: 91%
UG at SRM University (Civil Engineering, Batch of 2018): 8.79 CGPA
Role 1: Worked at a Sports Analytical Startup. Worked as Backend Analyst with teams like Mumbai Indians, Barbados Tridents, West Indies National Team. Handled Social Media of the firm and other clients. Startup had to close down
Role 2: Mentored 100 underprivileged children, boys and girls, teaching them life values through football. Won all the girls tournaments. Handled data and admin and operations in the absence of an Ops manager. Quit because I got admit for my Masters, but couldn’t go due to COVID.
5 months break later, Role 3: Worked as a Data Analyst at a Data Analytics consulting firm. Clients were national and international conglomerates. Handled data such as marketing, inventory etc. Quit because I got a better opportunity.
Role 4: Worked as a Business Analyst for a Cybersecurity firm. Single Point of Contact for all the product’s Pre-Sales and Customer Success data-based Return on Investment reports. Managed a portfolio of over $7M. Unfortunately got laid off just two weeks back.
ECs:
Non-Profit Activity:
2016-2018: Taught English to 3 underprivileged children. Led teams to expand the outreach of NGO from 40 kids to over 170 kids. Led a team of 24 volunteer teachers who taught 26 children. Also organized football tournaments.
2018: Part-time football coach. Got to mentor 40 kids from underprivileged background. Converted this Part-time offer into a full-time offer.
2022: Curriculum Manager at a non-profit that teaches English for underprivileged kids. Led the curriculum for B1 Level English.
2023: Led a team of 6 and launched a platform for volunteering opportunities in Chennai in association with Global Shapers, an initiative of the World Economic Forum. Have had over 2K users in 3.5 months.
Played cricket in school and college. Organize badminton for a small group of 7 people.
Drawbacks, in my opinion: GRE (319, 167Q, 152V). Have given up on Standardized tests after 3 full years of prep. Indian-Engineer-Male.
Please let me know your thoughts. Sorry if this was TMI.
