In my final year of engineering, my parents encouraged me to pursue an MBA at any reputable institution. Therefore, I enlisted in CAT prep classes. I frequently visited a nearby location for my senior year assignment, and each time my interest grew, so I abandoned the idea of pursuing an MBA.
Instead, I participated in campus placements and was fortunate to be hired by Reliance Industries Limited. As soon as I joined the company, I realized I enjoyed being on-site and checking, supervising, and observing all the various activities.
After RIL, I joined the Mumbai-based real estate titan Lodha Dwellers Pvt. Ltd. This was my most productive period ever. Both of my supervisors were phenomenal. They instructed me in invoicing, micro-planning, acquisition, and documentation. It was essentially an entirely new education for me. I had strong communication skills, which made coordination simple for me.
I am glad I made that decision. It is worth it.
