After completing my Bachelor’s degree from SRM University in Mechatronics, I joined Escorts Kubota Limited, an agri-machinery conglomerate, as an Engineer Trainee in Plant Operations and Quality Analysis of their engine division. This role also facilitated frequent interactions with upper management and sparked a profound interest in understanding the dynamics of top management decisions within organisations. I thought pursuing a Master in Management degree would be the perfect way for me to transition into a new field.<\/p>\n
