Alumni Testimonials

Currently I study my Masters degree focused on ‘Innovation and Technology Management’ at University of Tartu in Estonia. Estonia is a digital wonderland and opportunity to study and learn here is bliss. My journey started with Chitkara University and all the opportunities I did get and I can say what I am, Chitkara University has played a huge role in it. It is only because of the chances and opportunities I undertook helped me to improve my communication, leadership and management skills. I had also a chance to spend a year abroad in Germany as an exchange student. Needless to say, academically I learnt the skills, which I have applied regularly. Chitkara University had been supportive of my actions of attending conferences and other events, which motivated to excel more. I thank my Alma Mater to make every moment count. The story of learning shall never end for me.”

It’s an immense pleasure to be a part of Chitkara family. From studying B.Com (Hons) to “European Management” (E.M. Normandie) in France, Chitkara University provided me with the right platform and exposure to become the global citizen of today and no matter how long I chew on my thoughts, I can’t thank enough my Alma Mater to get to where I am today. My words seem to fall short of explaining the impact, CU had in my life. I have traveled across 15 countries so far, covered over 21 cities in Europe including 3 Wonders of the World. Today, I speak about 3 Latin origin languages including French, Italian and little bit of Spanish.
I represented India in a Global Conference of AIESEC in Italy (2016), Started my own export company under the name DevBhoomi Exports (2015) and currently I continue to serve as the Regional Head of our new start up name “Talent Khoj India (Punjab and Himachal Division)” which gives a platform to all talented people in the field of acting, writing, and other performing arts (Being Launched on 20th July). I owe all my success to this institution for giving me every opportunity to explore my potential and emerge as a global citizen.

I belong to Nepal but my journey of success began in India when I chose doing Bachelor of Computer Applications in Chitkara University, and it gave me so many opportunities to learn, not just academically but experientially. Whenever there was anything I needed or didn’t understand, all hands were on deck were without delay. Moreover, I also learnt to be independent, and make more right decisions. The knowledge, acumen and confidence I gained in Chitkara, gave me wings to fly courtesy which today I am pursuing Master of Cyber security at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.

I am very grateful to my Alma mater and shall always look forward to connect back with the Temple of learning called as Chitkara

When I look outside the window of my office at a beautiful drizzling morning, and reflect upon the journey of my education, the knowledge I gained and the stellar bonds I made at this heavenly blessed temple, I shatter a tear of joy with a skip of heartbeat and gulp down a sip of coffee. This truly brings goosebumps not only to realize the said quote true but to cherish a proud moment of being part of Alumni.

This bird who imbibed from the warm nest of the then Chitkara Institute of Engineering & Technology and flew to the professional world, was popularly known by ‘Jain’ amongst his friends. My name is Karan Jain and I am proud to be a part of this fraternity.
When I try to connect dots looking back, I realize the worth of its tagline, “Explore your potential”. Today, I work in the capacity of Associate Manager with one of the leading multinational companies at Gurgaon and possess a professional career of 9 years with previous stints at Infosys Limited and Wolters Kluwer. I wish to congratulate Madame Dr. Mrs. Madhu Chitkara and her wonderful team in building up an empire which puts education over business in the world where it is hard to differentiate better amongst (what is portrayed as) best, for our wards. Alumni network building is a strong thread towards making this institute an obvious choice for future students engraving its own niche.

I studied in Chitkara University for an year and I never regretted this choice: there is so much that Chitkara has to offer and also I was glad to be in “Incredible India. I was in School of Mass Communication where I learnt a lot about Journalism in India. It doesn’t matter what subject you are going to study in Chitkara, the most interesting is the bonhomie with your class fellows, timeless talks with your teachers, learning about your differences, and try to understand each others’ culture. It was an amazing learning of cultural diaspora’s of two countries. Currently I am writing my Masters’ thesis about “Women Empowerment in India”. I am really grateful to Chitkara for getting me familiarized and acquainted with the rich culture & diversity of Incredible India, besides offering invaluable networking, providing a global environment with dynamics of International education to raise global awareness.

I have a startup called AdwiseData LLC in the US . After graduation, I worked as a Software Engineer at Tech Mahindra and bagged All India Rank 1 position in Management Aptitude Test and was interviewed by Hindustan Times

After that, I joined Indian Overseas Bank as the Manager in IT Department supervising operations of 7+ vendors PAN India. To explore my potential to fullest, flew to USA to complete Masters in Computer Science from “North Carolina State University” US, served as the Secretary for Computer Science Graduate Student Association and as Team Lead in the NCSU Office of IT interns program. Also cleared the coveted course called Credentials of Readiness from Harvard Business School (HBX). I run NGO called “Think High Welfare Trust” in India. I am also working as a Software Engineer at Cerner Corporation, US and doing Entrepreneurship Essentials course from HBX. I want to thank Chitkara University for laying the foundation of my dreams. I learned a lot in those four years and owe my success to my Alma Mater. I made great friends, and I have immense respect for H’ble Dr. Ashok K Chitkara Sir and his dedication.

Dear Chitkara University,Thank you. You showed me I was full of potential. Oftentimes, I get carried away with activities, deadlines and daily routines. Suddenly, it dawns on me; how far I’ve come down the line and, how I started. Then I remember where it all started, and I begin to reminisce of my days at Chitkara University and smile creeps up my face. Where I am, and who I am is as a result of the foundation you laid with your world class educational curriculum and structured career pathway. It equipped me with life skills, and started the chain of excellence in all ramifications. You encouraged me to go forth and explore my potentials, to be fearless in the face of problems, and unapologetic of myself when I standout of the crowd. The phrase “pushed me out of my comfort zone” is overused but it has never been more apt. Thank you for making me believe in myself. I am truly exploring my potentials at currently working as Zonal Data Assistant, Port Harcourt, World Health Organization, Nigeria

My family & I returned last week from Chitkara University’s 13th convocation and I wish to take a moment to thank you for making it such a worthwhile experience. When a function such as “Our Convocation “is a success, the credit apportioning must begin with the Academic Guru’s & the Planning Committee. Their attention to detail, perfect hosting, time critical evaluation, unsurpassed dedication, peerless academic acumen, incomparable fine work, excellent planning and realistic scheduling resulted in a “Swiss Clockwork like precision” with respect to the entire event – from the word GO. All of us, even my teenager children appreciated all the Guests from Industry, each of whom brought something special and extraordinary to the dais. I have heard nothing but praise from all who attended the convocation. The event which commenced with a bang in the “Explore Lounge” moved on to the well appointed Exploretorium, and finally ended with a resounding bang in The Dhaba – a Culinary jewel of our ALMA MATER. Heartiest Congratulations on a successful and memorable convocation. You have indeed set a new standard for convocation planners. I am proud to be a part of Chitkara Alumni Network.

Chitkara University provided the platform to study, excel, compete and explore my potential. Motivational teaching, making projects, learnings at Internship helped a lot in understanding the technical aspects and clearing the job interviews. The Training and Placement department helped me in acing through the campus placements and I got my First Job offer before graduating. Today, I am fortunate enough to be working in Oracle America, Redwood City, California. I am thankful to Chitkara University for all the support and proud to be a part of Chitkara Alumni Network.

Though I got placed in ‘iGate Corporation’ as Software Engineer & ‘American Tower Corporation’ as Cluster Engineer through Campus placements but I wanted to go for something to pay back to my society and went on for Public sector and Currently I am working as Junior Engineer in Punjab State Transmission Corporation Limited. I have never been a bookworm throughout my life and always believed in overall development which Chitkara University helped me to carry throughout my journey. Be it ‘College Fest’ or ‘Sports Meet’, I was never short of opportunities to get involved in activities other than studies. All I want to convey is that Graduation certificate is just a piece of paper which makes you eligible to sit for recruitment exams. But, what makes you strong enough to compete for those exams is the quality of journey you go through to get graduated. Be it kindergarten or a university teacher, We all have someone who inspires us to explore our potential. Faculty who taught me at Chitkara University are not only teachers but mentors for life. I extend my heartfelt thanks to my Alma-Mater & Mentors for their selfless efforts and also Chitkara Alumni Network for bringing all Chitkarian’s on one platform.

After Graduating from Chitkara, I worked with multibillion dollar organisations like HCL and E*TRADE Financial and was instrumental in providing technology consultancy/implementation to Indian start-ups like ‘Indian Health Organisation (Now an Aetna Company)’. But, I had plans to be an entrepreneur and that dream was given wings by my Alma Mater. I came back and Chitkara hand holded me in my initiative and “Trideal” was formed. As a Founder of Trideal, I had set it’s core strategy ensuring that it met the changing demands of users and merchant partners to strengthen their businesses. It was a roaring success and it was acquired by littleapp. Post acquisition of littleapp, am now a part of PayTM, and for all this glory that I achieved, I owe my whole hearted gratitude to my Alma Mater. Coming from a small border area town in punjab, Chitkara gave me an identity and now I have a keen interest in encouraging entrepreneurship among youth from tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Today, I have 10+ years of experience in Technology, Marketing Automation and HyperlocalSpace. I am thankful to extremely amazing initiative of Chitkara Alumni Network to connect the Alumni dots across the World, making us Chitkarian’s once again and now, forever.

I belong to Delhi, but chose to study at Chitkara. All my school friends advised me to study in Delhi and not going outside for studies. I am happy that I followed my heart and decided to take admission here. Chitkara University has given me opportunities which allowed me to flourish academically, explore & discover my passions and expand my wings to fly and touch the sky.

Having topped in B.Sc MLT, Batch 2010, I was conferred with two semesters Scholarship for MBA Healthcare Management at Chitkara University. After completing my MBA, I Joined the Partnership project of MoHFW and U.S Centre for Disease and Prevention for improving the quality of selected public health laboratories in India. Time spent at Chitkara University was not less than a journey which ends at a beautiful destination. The skills and knowledge provided during college time, helped me to grow professionally. Just as clay can be moulded into a beautiful sculpture by an artist, Chitkara’s role was like an artist who nurtured me to be a competent healthcare individual. I am grateful to my Alma Mater in contribution towards building my career. Thanks to Chitkara Alumni Network for taking care of all the Alumni across the Globe
