It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How

much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!The quote doesnt fit in

well. First thing theyll ask is what severe hardships did you face that you kept moving on or what hit

you that hard?

Use this instead - "Perseveranceis the hard workyou do after you get tired of doing

the hard workyou already did." - Newt Gingrich

Or you can google quotes, youll get plenty of better ones

Sylvester Stallone

This has been the motto that guided me through my academic and professional life. I am

currently working in my family owned construction and logistics business as a management trainee. I

believe in persevering towards achieving my goals and reaching the limit of my capacity no matterwhat the situation might be. My staunch belief in these principles has enabled me to score the

highest marks from amongst my peers in Mathematics with 148/150 and standing second in my

school. I continued this form, by scoring a decent 175/200 in the engineering entrance exams and

securing admission in Civil engineering at Veermata Jijabai technological Institute.

Throughout my Engineering I took an active interest to be involved in extra-curricular activities and

made an effort to explore new avenues and applied for the campus ambassador position in channel

[V]. I was required to organize the Indiafest zonals held in VJTI and help be the link between channel

V and my college. Enthralled by Impressed with my work I was promoted to campus manager and

selected amongst the top 60 ambassadors in the country to manage the national level festival NokiaIndiafest12 in Goa. I started off in my first year of engineering as a volunteer in various events in my

college technical and cultural festival. Realizing my interest in event management I applied and got

selected for 3 important roles in the cultural festival Pratibimb. The first role was the department

head of civil engineering which included me to handle all the participants and teams for various

events and make sure they perform, my leadership skills were challenged. Being the event head of

CSI(crime scene investigation) I had to choose volunteers and assign them responsibilities, delegate

tasks and most importantly guide and lead them. The third role being of the Publicity head,entailed

asking where I had to ask permissions from various colleges in Mumbai to pitch our festival in order

to attract participants. Having been a part of these activities, I have realised the importance of team-

work, co-ordination and good managerial skills for success of an event.if you put in an experience

of any festival where you worked but overall the festival didnt workout that would bring a good

example of how youve actually realised the importance of overall team work

Keeping in mind practical development along with my course work, I Iinterned at K. Raheja

Corp as a Project Trainee on a residential site with 3 44-storey towers at Mahalaxmi. After my third

year of engineering I chose to intern at Larsen and Toubro ECC on the Chhatrapati Shivaji

International Airport project(CSIA) Sahar bridge for a month.- elaborate more on this, this is a better

work experience than festivals. Talk about how much you loved the work, what you learnt, how you

realised this is your calling wrt operations

Activities during my leisure time include playing football, badminton, swimming and

watching shows on various genres. I also enjoy socializing and building a network. To satiate my

adventurous spirit and spiritual needs I travel and indulge in varied activities ranging from wild water

rafting to 7 days of Vipassana meditation.

I strongly want to pursue Management Education because it will help me acquire expertise

in meeting and overcoming managerial challenges associated with operating, successfully sustaining

and expanding my family-owned construction and logistics business. Civil engineering coursework

has helped me gain sound technical knowledge, however management studies will help me develop

the ability to manage complex business situations, especially the art of making decisions in uncertain

or ambiguous environments, break away from functional focus and develop a more inclusive

attitude.

A degree from NMIMS, one of the most prestigious institutes will provide me with a

stimulating environment to develop my personality where creativity and intellect is nurtured and

honed. An institute that has a rich alumni base, overseas links providing foreign exchange programs

and students from diverse backgrounds will help me build a network of managers and future

managers from all over the country. Such a unique collaborative program that extends beyond the

confines of the classroom with case studies and industrial interaction will inspire novel ideas,

strategies and help me in achieving my career goals.
