Alumni Testimonials

I couldn’t have asked for anything better than being a part of prestigious Chitkara University. During the five year stint, I got the opportunity of representing Chitkara at California State University, California. I had the privilege of doing my Internship in Biome Environmental Solutions, Bangalore that comes under top 15 Architectural Firms practising Sustainable and Vernacular Architecture in India. After having worked with Mr. Siddha Sardessai (An award winning architect and interior designer) in designing of mega Architectural and Interior designing projects ranging from Residential to Commercial, I have been appointed as VP – Projects in GBP Group. I am working on large scale projects including Residential, Commercial, Hospitality, Mix land use development from planning to execution. I am so proud to connect back through Chitkara Alumni Network that is providing all the students an amazing network platform to all Chitkarian’s.

I just look back and trailblazer of memories flash across – From being Ms.Farewell in 2006 to working as a Hardcore Technologist in leading Organizations, Chitkara transformed me from a mere student to a ace professional, and provided me a perfect learning disciplined environment.
My journey started with an on-campus placement with one of the leading IT consulting company which gave me a platform to work on the cutting edge technologies with North American Healthcare clients during my stint in Houston, USA. The experience in healthcare domain led me to pursue my career as a BPM consultant with Pegasystems where I was responsible for Claims product development in the Healthcare Industry. Further, I worked as Senior Architect in implementing BPM solutions for Global Financial Clients. My journey has been progressive because of values and ethics imbibed in me during my stay at Chitkara. Chitkara not only contributed in enhancing my educational profile but also gave me ample opportunities to be groomed as an all rounder and now Chitkara Alumni Network connected me back to my Alma Mater, forever.

Travelling and Learning different Culinary Culture & Cuisines in Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Australia, etc was an amazing learning experience but all this while, Chitkara was never forgotten. My life’s journey started at IHM in 2007 and then there was no looking back. From Training in Radisson Blu Plaza New Delhi to Campus Placement Radisson Indore, I became Demi Chef de Partie.

I wanted to travel the world and joined “Carnival Cruise Lines in “The United States of America” and worked there for six years. Worked with two Michelin Star Chefs’ and worked for steak houses in US. All this while, one thing I wanted to do desperately was to change people’s opinion in that part of the World about Indian food being spicy. I designed a Restaurant as Head Chef “Anant Cuisine of India” in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Worked on the Menu with adding North Indian flair and it is now most sought after dining place in just one year span. With appreciation pouring in, now we are going to open one more restaurant in next 10 days. Can’t thank Chitkara enough. Also my gratitude towards Chitkara Alumni Network for weaving this magical fabric for all Chitkarian’s across the Globe.

Chitkara University is the place where I learnt how important being well travelled is. This timely advice was a lesson for life and I changed it into a Career for myself. Mastered & Skilled in Catering, Food & Beverage, MICROS, Hospitality Management and Customer Service, I have been trotting around the globe and doing exceptionally well because of such strong foundation at Chitkara University. With the strong discipline instilled in all of us at Campus, I am also known for my strong Administrative Skills and appreciated for the same. Cruising at the far off destinations has never let Chitkara out of my mind and I often remember and reflect back about my Golden days at my Alma Mater. Chitkara Alumni Network is creating ripples across the World bringing the tides of good times spent together.

Chitkara university is the place where I learned to explore. Just like the University’s motto “Explore Your Potential” I found my passion in organising and managing people. With the Life Time advises from the mentors at Chitkara, I made my way from a Mechanical Engineer to be a Logistics Manager at Leon’s Canada. My Alma Mater gave me a platform to explore and build strong management skills which lead my way towards my Career. Chitkara Alumni Network support all the students to get linked with alumni network and grow together. Alumni can share and discuss their success stories so the upcoming millennials can be motivated and stay on track to achieve goals. Thanks CAN.

I graduated from Chitkara University in the year 2010, and now I am an Engineering Officer in the Indian Air Force serving the motherland. It has been a wonderful journey so far and when I look back to my formative days in college, of which I have many fond memories, it gives me a sense of pride in every way.

At that time, the Institute was evolving with many new things coming up and I was fortunate enough to be a part of the scheme of things. Starting from organizing college fests, being part of the entrepreneurial cell, being part of the campus placement cell and being from the first batch of students selected for internship with Infosys in Mysore. To this date I value the exposure and confidence that my alma mater has instilled in me that helps me in standing out wherever I wish to be.

One thing that I have found to be quite similar in Chitkara University and Indian Air Force is the strong value system for which both organizations strive. This value system makes our Alma Mater distinct from other institutions. Today whatever I am and tomorrow whatever I will be it will be solely because of my upbringing in Chitkara.

I would like to say that it is an honour to be a part of such a prestigious Institute and would consider it to be my privilege to contribute to CAN in any way I can.

Joining Chitkara Engineering College in 2002 was a life changing event for me. I was provided with innumerable opportunities to learn and grow in the four years I spent there. What set the college apart was a deep academic focus afforded through access to top class faculty and facilities coupled with an equally intense emphasis on all-round development through sports tournaments and cultural events. I was very lucky to leverage these opportunities. More than a decade later, I still remember the memorable time I spent at Chitkara Engineering College encompassing field trips, basketball tournaments, dance competitions and classroom learning.

The current students should also maximize these opportunities that are presented to them by the University and work both on developing technical expertise in the classroom and team and leadership skills by participating in co-curricular activities. To be successful one needs both in equal measure. Most importantly they should have a lot of fun, make friends and lots of memories while doing all of this, which I did and today I am a proud Alumni of Chitkara.

Chitkara transformed me from a student to a professional. The perfect learning environment & faculty enabled a smooth transition for me and were a crucial part of my academic journey. The exposure I received has helped me gain vital experience and placed me firmly on the path to success. Although I am Post Grad in Business Management too. I had an option to choose a carrier between Management and Engineering but I choose Radio Network Engineering. From national level network planning to Ultra high dense environments like Stadiums, airports and train stations I’ve designed it all . I have worked through Commonwealth Games 2014, Rugby world cup 2015 and various large audiences. Whether it is 3G/4G network planning to mission critical emergency services network planning.

From working with local councils/governments to big builders and from big telecom towers to street level small cells, I am part of this rapidly changing high speed broadband world through my Engineering knowledge. I currently design cellular/Wifi networks and manage a multi skilled team of designers and engineers on a variety of challenging projects to provide high speed radio coverage. All Thanks to my Alma mater.

Feels like yesterday, when I stepped into Chitkara University in fall 2009. Every memory is still so afresh in the mind and the experiences and lessons to strive for excellence imbibed back then still exist. From being naive & to a friend to all, I introduce myself as an alumna of the class of 2013 CSE. My first pay cheque of life came after I joined Infosys Limited as an intern and thereafter my life in IT began. It’s always sad to leave your nest but I think its really important to explore the world and never to settle, after all, we all were taught to ‘explore our potential’. Recently graduated from the University of Connecticut, which is ranked amongst 20 Universities for Business Analytics, I started my career in the USA as Data Engineer working with Fortune 22 company Express Scripts Inc. No matter where you go, there are few things which will never leave you- the lessons learned in those classes which you didn’t want to attend, the friends you met in those 4 years of life with whom you always try to stay in touch and that one place where you always wish to go back to time but can’t – Chitkara University.

It was the year 2003, we had begun our journey in this prestigious institution Chitkara. We had to overcome significant challenges, but the Institution believed that we could make the most difference and it turned out to be a great success. I Can say There’s a famous quote well fits in this scenario: ” We are all the work of your hand We are the Clay, you are the potter ” I would like to specially highlight that , this environment of Chitkara turned out as the potters and we stood as mere clay and we are wonderfully shaped into fine pieces of art work. The shaping process was hard and long. Our knowledge skills were stretched and tested at many points. But in all those stretching , pulling and shaping process only aim of this institution as a whole was committed for making us what we are and the result is that we’re already learning to adapt the knowledge and understandings that we’ve picked up to actual problems and issues that are confronting into the professional world. So, I stand here to applaud and humbly thank our Institution as a whole. We believe that all this was made possible through the effective learning environment of our Institute. Also i would like to thank my colleagues, faculty & all other people who were part of our journey.

No Matter, I studied in Electrical Engineering but destiny transformed that knowledge and today I am an Entrepreneur. I started own business in transportation and logistics and now a established Brampton based company named ASK Express serving transportation network all over in North America.. All because of my Alma Mater. I would look forward to be an active part of Chitkara Alumni so that we can meet, greet and share our expertise with other Alumni members.

‘Explore Your Potential’ – This motto of my Alma Matter well defines it. Chitkara University was a perfect amalgamation of learning, Exposure and education. The ideal learning environment and immensely talented faculty helped me in shaping my academic career. During my course of study, I also got the opportunity to study semester exchange programs in Belgium, Korea and also a summer program in University of British Coumbia,Canada where the unending experiences helped me in growing both socially and intellectually. It made me embrace different culture, languages and traditions. Taking along with me all the attributes, I am pursuing Broadcast Journalism at New York Film Academy. The 3 years in Chitkara University were filled with fond memories and experiences which i will cherish throughout my life. And once again a big applaud to my Alma Mater for this journey worth remembering.

I work with Lee Mega Star International Limited- a Foremost Information Technology & Telecommunications firm as ICT/Management Lead in Port Harcourt city, the River State capital. I have worked with this firm for some years gaining massive experience in both Technology and the Telecommunication sector which has enabled me grow tremendously in my career and other aspect of my life.

I graduated from Chitkara University in the year 2012 with a B.Sc in Information Technology. I owe my current career feat to an amazing team of dedicated faculty(s) and so many other senior academic fraternity of Chitkara University for their relentless passion for excellence and for truly allowing me to explore my potentials through information sharing and learning. At Chitkara University, I experienced hospitality at it’s very finest and I am a proud Alumni of Chitkara University.
