I am a Mechanical Engineer, currently pursuing my Master’s in Management of Technology. I was born and raised in India. I love travelling, cars, adventure sports, and meeting new people. You can say, I am a people person. I have a penchant for creative products, designs and enjoy ideating. I am more into industrial design but have also been involved in interpreting user requirements and experience in my previous organization. In my free time I enjoy cooking, doing up my home with interesting pieces of art and decorative items. I love animals and have 4 super awesome pooches at home(in India).

Hello Elric, thanks for your comment! We believe there should be opportunities for students to learn beyond what the classroom requirements are and be prepared for real world problems.
Hi Shane, thanks for your comment. Our program is specific to high school students and is mandatory. It will give them a real insight into how the educational costs are structured and in the future they could plan to take their courses or make informed decisions about selecting degree programs that suits their needs and is well within their budgets. Our program will also aim to be interactive for the students and an opportunity for them to learn independent of their parents.
Thanks!
