Bred and grown up in an environment of business entrepreneurs I wanted to excel in business and entrepreneurship as well, though there wasn’t much sustenance from the inner circle of my family. I felt I should create history just like my uncle who did his project on Vision/Navigation for Blind which attracted the interests of the Indian Government and got an offer for 50 lakhs. Though not to that mark, I wanted to become the second most popular kid in the family to be a social entrepreneur animating my academic gen and first girl to be so.
I was determined to achieve all this independently though there were many compromises to work collaboratively. But I was sure I want to have my own identity and not to bask in the shades of my family. Maybe this spirit inculcated in me was simply due to the fact that I was named after the great leader who fought for women liberty; my heart throbbed to the same beat of thoughts. In fact this was my theatrical dialogue on one of my stage plays
நிமிர்ந்த நன்னடை நேர்கொண்ட பார்வையும்,
நிலத்தில் யார்க்கும் அஞ்சாத நெறிகளும்,
திமிர்ந்த ஞானச் செருக்கும் இருப்பதால்
செம்மை மாதர் திறம்புவ தில்லையாம்;
அமிழ்ந்து பேரிரு ளாமறி யாமையில்
அவல மெய்திக் கலையின்றி வாழ்வதை
உமிழ்ந்து தள்ளுதல் பெண்ணற மாகுமாம்
உதய கன்ன உரைப்பது கேட்டிரோ!
சாத்தி ரங்கள் பலபல கற்பராம்;
சவுரி யங்கள் பலபல செய்வராம்;
மூத்த பொய்மைகள் யாவும் அழிப்பராம்;
மூடக் கட்டுக்கள் யாவுந் தகர்ப்பராம்;
காத்து மானிடர் செய்கை யனைத்தையும்
கடவு ளர்க்கினி தாகச் சமைப்பராம்;
ஏத்தி ஆண்மக்கள் போற்றிட வாழ்வராம்;
இளைய நங்கையின் எண்ணங்கள் கேட்டிரோ;
Here are few testimonials to institutions which equally have made contributions to bring me up to the position where I am now
Testimonial—St. Josephs Anglo Indian Girls Higher Secondary School Batch 1995-2008
14 years Convent education has made me no lesser than a Thasavathar as an orator, writer, sketcher, dancer, artist, math lover, Basketball player, confidant, blogger, and a maverick indeed. My school had been with me during three stages of my life: infancy, childhood and adolescence. Convent will you take me back as your student?!
It not only teaches you academics but other extracurricular activities and gives you opportunities to bring out your skills that are dormant in you
“If you are from Convent you must be good in English” is not just a stereotype.
They encourage kids to speak English even at home and when conversing with friends. This makes us a natural in English Communication which many colleges and companies do training for.
Thank you Sisters of the Chavnod, Excelsior"
Testimonial--
Saranathan College of Engineering Batch 2008-2012
I completed my engineering from a not so
famous college called Saranathan engineering college of Engineering. But I got
the best pick of friends in my college life. Had fun, learnt few academic
concepts, Fortunate for the field, unfortunate for me – my heart said to my
brain “Please, you don’t want to be a pro in it!” So I dint chose a masters.
Just wanted to be a Bachelor in it. I liked MBA instead and it liked me back! Saranathan this is for you.
"The college has a current annual intake of 600 students for
the 6 branches offered at the undergraduate level and 174 students for the 5
courses offered at the post-graduate level.With a built up area of 200000 sq ft, 8 seminar halls and a
state of the art library with more than 40000 books and 225 periodicals and
journals (both national and international), the college offers the ideal
environment for the students to absorb and assimilate the top class technical
education and professional training offered.With such amenities in the college and with the students
entering already with good cut offs there is no doubt that it produces
university rank holders easily every year. Came across department Symposiums organized by students,
clubs and sports but missed few aspects of college life like Culturals and
theatrics
Hats off Saranathan"

SSN School of Management Batch 2012-2014
I was an avid fan of getting into one of
the A, B, C, K, L, R, S, T, and U’s of the times. I dint take my CAT that year
for which I had placed my hearts and soul into. But the place I ended up to be
dint make me regret for it at any instance. All the professors had a very good
impression on me and I kept up to it. I topped all the semesters, with the
title of best outgoing student and my name inscribed on a board in my college. I
saw the best in myself there Here goes the testimonial for SSN
"Whether it’s the palpable vibe of an alma mater, having tons
to do, or the fact that my college is a great place to learn and explore, I
have a lot of experiences to share about SSN School of Management, few of which I would like pen down in my testimonial"The facilities at the SSN are
impeccable; a beautiful
and historic campus setting, classmates from many different cultures and
backgrounds, lecturers with interesting insights into current best industry
practice and academic thinking, an intimate class-tutor environment, a focus on
individual personal development, and multiple company projects offering the
immediate opportunity to apply academic learning; all of these made the SSN MBA
program a truly stimulating experience, and a very worthwhile investment in
terms of both personal and professional development. My experience at SSN has
meant career advancement to a highly responsible and strategically challenging position in a leading-edge company. Along with that goes an increased sense of self-esteem and a feeling of accomplishment and personal satisfaction”
Thank you SSN"
