Hi,
I was curious as to how my profile fits in the scheme of things required to get an interview call for ISB and the like?
X -ICSE- 86%
XII-Karnataka Board- 68.6%
B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering 2004-2008 - 62.2%
Work Experience:
2008-september 2010: Joined Mann Hummel Filters (A German Automotive Supplier) as a GET (graduate Engineer trainee) for Air intake systems of trucks. Worked on designing and developing Air intake systems for Ashok Leyland trucks (NGC) and Tata world Truck. Deadlines were an integral part. Frequent interaction with the customer for changes in design (almost daily) and co-ordination with the raw material supplier was Exhaustive. Got promoted to design engineer in a year.
Post promotion was made lead design engineer for the ashok Leyland project. (Managed to secure the business in June 2010!).
Resigned job in 2010 September to take a break from corporate life. (I am a musician - (Guitar).)
September 2010 - Jan 2011 (Travelled to ladakh, Performed in various stage shows - Indian rock festival, and mood indigo - iit Bombay are among the prominent ones)
Developed an interest in social service whilst on the trip to the Himalayas. (The condition of the villagers at ladakh had a lot to do with it.)
Feb 2010 - Wrote GATE.
May 2010 - Secured admission into IIT Bombay. My branch was technology and development, offered by the Centre of technology alternatives for rural areas. (The branch was aimed at using engineering expertise to develop low cost and relevant alternatives to aid the rural sector in the country.)
Developed a hand held well sensor (using sonar tech) in the second semester. (Patent pending). Worked on a technology to provide solar powered electricity to 15 households in Jogewadi district in Maharashtra. This was one of the first measures to provide renewable electricity to the district. No prior attempts had been done to achieve this. Work was hectic. Involved co-ordination with the villagers to a personal level and things had to be explained in lay man terms. Cost cutting was the biggest issue. Soolartech is relatively expensive and the cost had to be brought down to make it feasible for implementation in villages.
Currently in the final semester at IIT. Graduating in 2013 April.
Extra curricular: Professional musician. I have been playing the guitar since college and have participated (and won) fests throughout my college days. Have represented IIT-B.
GMAT: 740
Quant-50, Verbal-40
