1. With around 4 years+ industrial experience, what would you like to give to your juniors stepping into the industry?

2. When and why did you decide to pursue higher education?

3. You have been an intern at Microsoft and also have worked at Godrej. What tips would you like to share with your juniors, applying for industrial internships and jobs?
Ans: When it comes to industrial internships, I can't emphasise more on the fact that this is the time you can make mistakes and learn from it. You can gauge whether you want to be a part of the organization or not. The end goal for most of us is to score the PPO, but more than that it is a way to figure out if you like that role or not.
4. How has your journey at IGDTUW shaped you into the person that you have grown into?

5. How has your journey so far at Google been?
Ans: My journey at Google has been great so far. I'm still in the learning phase of my career as the direction I have undertaken is completely opposite to what I have done till date. People and the culture here are amazing and that's what been my biggest takeaway in my few months here.
