As a graduate of Chitkara University (First Batch 2002), looking back to a journey that started 13 years back is just so overwhelming. It started with an on-campus placement in a world class organization, CA Technology by Chitkara for the very first batch, where I played various roles leading security information management solutions, followed by a Security start-up (formally named EiQ Networks), grew from leading a small team to multiple teams as Director of Engineering & eventually lead the “Technology Roadmap for the organization to build a SaaS platform”. And, today as Software Development Manager in Amazon (Seattle-US), I lead a Team that is researching on Smart Devices in Internet of Things (IoT) domain with a vision to eliminate the need for shopping and aim to disrupt the replenishment space worldwide. Chitkara helped me exploring my potential and identified what I aspired to do in life. During the four years stint, Chitkara helped me become a strong leader in the software industry. I am glad to be connected to my roots through Chitkara Alumni Network (CAN), and be able to share my story and look forward to connect back with my Alma Mater.
