Alumni Testimonials

I entered Chitkara with a dream and got the wings to fly to fulfil my dreams. From Disney World Internship in Florida to Harvard MUN, Massachusetts, Boston, USA, I was one of the most privileged student of Chitkara as I proudly represented my University across various International Platforms. And it didn’t stop there. Having graduated, I had seamless transition to University of Birmingham UK, to pursue MSc International Accounting and Finance (FT). Yesterday, as I walked on stage for being conferred with the Degree in the auspicious graduation ceremony, my heart owed it all to my Alma Mater and skipped a beat in fond and much respected remembrance of Goddess Saraswati Statue in my beautiful Campus at Chitkara. I also was chosen as Brand Ambassador of UoB during my study tenure over there and all of it was possible because the life changing learning at Chitkara University. And I just would want to say special thanks to Chitkara Alumni Network for keeping the bond alive today and forever.

Having completed my Bachelor’s degree with Chitkara University in 2012, It was not easy to leave a place that has given the push to enhance myself all round, exploring my potential. Like the popular saying, “nothing lasts forever”, I had to move on with life. Returned to Nigeria and have worked in several places and at several positions. These places include: University of Ilorin as Assistant Lecturer and Lab Technologist, I also headed the Web development & IT Security team at Tros Technologies in Lekki Lagos and presently, I am with the Defence Space Administration, Abuja, as a Cyber Security Analyst. I have continued to follow Chitkara University online via various platforms and I am really proud to be associated with my Alma Mater. I look forward to visiting very soon and in my little way contributing to the massive growth the University is experiencing.

After graduating from Chitkara University, I worked as consultant in development sector for World Bank, United Nations, Government of India and Governments of other nations, travelled across India and was exposed to kind of work which was too overwhelming for me to even express. Tracking back 7 years and recalling my first day at Chitkara University, I realise how I have grown both personally and professionally of which my Alma Mater, Chitkara University shares the major stake. I was given the opportunity to represent Chitkara University at a global platform of Google Student Ambassador Program, which helped me ‘explore the potential’ I never knew I possessed, and it is all because of Chitkara University where I am and who I am today. Currently I am working as an Experienced Associate in Strategy Consulting Division of Price Waterhouse Coopers, one of the biggest consulting firm across globe. I owe a lot to my Alma Mater and every member of it, who was associated to me in any manner, from students, to faculties, to administrative staff and I hope I am able to give back in some way in future. It’s an immense pleasure to be a part of Chitkara Alumni Network Family and thank you so much for bringing us back on one platform.

It’s all about your choice and what you choose it depends upon your knowledge and “that knowledge I got from Chitkara University”. I never look back what I was, I just work for “what I want to be”.

I am a Nepalese citizen. From Nepal to India and from there to Disney, USA, it was just like a fairy Tale. My time in Chitkara has enriched my life in many ways. It has provided me with the necessary tools to enhance my skills, taught me extensively about the diverse world. These experiences are truly irreplaceable and I would never trade them for anything. Chitkara University provided me many opportunities for developing a variety of social networks, both formal and informal. I had never thought of obtaining such a college degree which would add this level of value to my career. Having a Bachelor’s Degree from Chitkara Business School, in addition to my years of experience, made me eligible to be an Operations Manager in a very big and reputed Construction Company in Kathmandu in just beginning of my career. Keeping the aim high, following the legacy of my Alma Mater, I am also currently pursuing MBA in Uniglobe College from Pokhara University. I am glad to connect back through Chitkara Alumni Network.

Sun, Sand and Sailing was my calling as I joined Chitkara to get prepared for a world called Ocean, and believe you me those four years at my Alma Mater taught me how best one can adapt to be a part of waves & tides of life. A founder can carry an institution only so far, and then others have to step in, even the alumni. That’s how an institution becomes one, and I am proud to be part of the illustrious Alumni of Chitkara University.

Currently I’m sailing as 1st Engineer with Anglo-Eastern Ship Management Pvt Ltd., having its headquarters based in HongKong and have other office presence all over the World including India, Singapore, Houston and Glasgow with a promise of Building trust, driving performance and shaping a better maritime future.

I would like to thank Chitkara Alumni Network for Navigating each one of us back towards our Alma Mater and we all look forward to connect back to our vessel called Chitkara.

For as long as I can remember, I always had the urge to do something radically different with my life. Back in 2009, as an outsider I travelled to Chandigarh to be a Chitkarian, forever. In just 6 months, I remember working as executive for various Student Chapters, being Creative Head Fest’s and wholeheartedly enjoying the learning process. I went on with my journey when I got placed in Wipro On-campus but joined Infosys an year later. As time passed by, I realised that only working for an MNC is not what I had dreamt of and in no time, I created a Lifestyle & Fashion Blog of my own. Soon I was a POPxo Influencer working with reputed brands, writing my own stuff & gratefully earning as a Blogger on various platforms. Balancing the world of lifestyle, fashion, travel, beauty & fitness along with a full time job gave me a strong sense of elevating my passion to the next level.

Recently I got featured in LookVine Magazine

Today, I am working with Amazon Web Services – India Team. When I look back at the 10+ years of my life after Chitkara, I feel honored to be a part of an Institution that helped me become the confident professional that I am today. When the opportunity comes calling, you ought to keep the door open. At Chitkara, not only were we made aware to keep the doors open, we were taught to build new ones for ourselves.

The environment at Chitkara provided enough opportunities to learn and “explore the potential” to prepare for a rewarding future. What set the institute apart was the far-sightedness of the founders in implementing the vision which they ought to have believed in for years. The right mix of academic focus and co-curricular activities created the right balance of “work and fun while you learn”. Access to top class faculty, facilities and the events organized by the student communities paved way for an illustrious all-round development. My learning at Chitkara was the foundation for a ever progressive and rewarding career in the field of software. After completing my graduation, I worked with MNCs like Infosys and Oracle and then went on to complete my Post-Grad in Management from IIT Kharagpur.
I am glad to have connected with CAN family and would be more than happy to contribute to the growth of my Alma Mater and the betterment of student fraternity in future. Thanks to the Alumni Affairs Team for bringing us aboard and keeping us connected as a Global family.
