I fondly look back at two marvellous years at Hindustan College of Arts & Science which had anything but an easy start. The most important thing that I learned was that nothing can be achieved alone. My friends, tutors, and classmates really taught me how essential human relationships are in the process of learning. I really do believe that growth – whether it takes place in human lives or in natural systems – is something that is enabled by connection, interaction, and empathy. IT has stayed my career ever since. Following my time at HICAS, I continued studying programming languages. IT being my passion taking me to TCS (India) in working and later to one of the big 4 giant Deloitte (UK). My time at HICAS taught me how to work on fast-paced projects, to draw connections between seemingly disparate disciplines, and to quickly adapt and learn from unknown situations.
