Till about 3 months back I looked into the various aspects of the business ranging from Finance, Operations, HR, MArketing, BD etc.

3) College info: St. Xavier's College, Kolkata (Top tier economics course in the country) Avg: 65% (Stringent marking), 2nd year my grades fell cuz I was emotionally traumatized for a bit cuz of a fmily crisis.. FInancially/Personally.
4) Led a team of 200 people for an economic conference (one of 3 years, the other 2 I was in charge of the finance committee),
- was co editor of the college magazine,

8) After having gained the network and requisite skills to succeed in the corpo world, I wish to professionally experience roles related to marketing/consulting till I have sufficient exposure and built a good network. Post that I wish to start a consultancy/training company of my own. My longest term goal is to have an exposure in various sectors/verticals so that I can grow a small business into a conglomerate worth reckoning.
(Though cheezy, but true)
