Feels like yesterday, when I stepped into Vivek College in June 1996. Lots of memories are still afresh in my mind and the experiences and lessons to strive for excellence imbibed back still egg me on.

I couldn’t have cleared my Chartered Accountancy alongside my BCom coursework, but for the help and support I received from faculty members. Some of my teachers really went way beyond their call of duty to mentor me not just during those three years but subsequently as well. It is their commitment and passion that led to me pursuing a PhD in the area of Finance and later choosing academics as a profession.

The overall learning environment was so encouraging that I could actively participate in various club activities and inter-collegiate competitions. During my final year, as General Secretary of Student Council, I had invaluable leadership lessons working closely with faculty team and students. I fondly recall and will ever be grateful to the then Principal Unnikrishnan for his mentorship and unflinching support.

To me, the journey with my alma mater was truly a turning point in my life not only in terms of shaping my value systems but also discovering who I truly am!!!
