Life has been an enjoyable journey so far; I am blessed to have a loving family that has always encouraged me to be self motivated and make my decisions in life and move from strength to strength. I am DISHANT and people usually call me DISH or DISH TV.
I learned the pleasure of fiddling around on the abacus at an early age and this in turn gave birth to a deep rooted love for mathematics. On pure self motivation, I took up science subjects in high school and truly reveled in the dynamism and pragmatism of the subjects I studied. I also marveled at how scientific innovation and computer science in particular acted as a catalyst to growth and socio-economic well being of the planet. My main aim is to build up a new concept and uncomplicated human life. With the advancement in technology, I need to learn the working of the systems so that I can develop my own.
Two of my other paternal uncles are well settled in Queens, New York and managing their own business. These are the people who have inspired me to take this sure path of success and hence, I now wish to pursue my further studies in the U.S. in Bachelor’s in Business Administration program with a Major in Computer Information Systems’.
I have always been one of the best performing students of my class academically and attended one of the most prestigious secondary school “Delhi Public School” in India, where I have been a member in the school cabinet. As a cabinet member, my duties included dealing with student affairs and participating in discussions regarding school policies with the school administration. I was also the chief editor of the school magazine for the year 2012. This experience gave me an opportunity to begin developing my leadership skills and it instilled into me a – ‘sense of responsibility’.
Ever since my early years in school, I have strived to balance my academic life with my interests in extra-curricular activities. I have participated in sports such as Taekwondo and Soccer and also won various medals and awards. My love for sports did not diminish even after a major accident during an inter-school soccer match when I injured my spinal cord and was on a complete bed rest for around 3 months in the beginning of the year 2011. I was also an F1 driver (racer) in under 20 INDIAN GRAND PRIX before I shifted to US.
Considering my civic obligations to the society – as a social worker, I have been working with a recognized NGO in India i.e. ‘The Rotary Club’. I undertook the management of a blood donation camp, worked with the team on ‘Save the Environment’ motto and also taught the under privileged children in the year of 2011 and 2012.
In grade 11, I opted for Science as my interest of stream with the ambition of becoming an automotive engineer. However, given my pedigree in business, I always had an interest in business and marketing. While, I had the technical aptitude, I also had interest in business and strategic planning. My interest from core study of engineering changed to Business Administration when I got the first hand experience of working for my father’s own business enterprise. For a long time I observed my father, practicing business. The business assignments involved interaction with people at all levels of the value chains and at organizational levels from the chairman of a $200 million firm to a packaging clerk earning $50 per day.
At his firm, I started contributing as a temporary employee and took up small assignments, managed accounts, worked with the web designing team and revamped his website. My view on pursuing business studies further strengthened during my internship experience at Keystone Group of Institutions (A Start-Up University set up by two Baruch Alumni) where I got an opportunity to work on various project initiatives. I came to realize that for any enterprise to function well – what is required is management aptitude. An organization may have the best of the products, services but if it is not managed properly then it may never be successful! Hence, it is imperative that I must obtain expertise in Business Management and simultaneously pursue my interests in technology with studying Computer Information Systems as my major in school! This way, I get to acquire the best of both – qualitative as well as quantitative skills!
I certainly have two aims in life and those are: To remove poverty and to be the cover of Forbes magazine.
