What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“The main reason is my passion for continuous learning”

Before starting my career in CIMP, I worked with two startups. The first startup was related to finance, and the second was related to education. My experience of working in startups help me to describe real-world business scenarios to students. My passion for learning new things has motivated me to become a Professor. Education is a two-way learning process. I learned a lot while answering the questions and discussing new ideas with future managers.
