It was there that my passion for data was ignited, and I realised the incredible impact this field could have on the world. Choosing to study data science at SP Jain Global felt like the natural next step to turn this passion into a profession.

Landing your first internship is always special, but for me, it was an extraordinary milestone. While pursuing my undergraduate BBA degree at SP Jain School of Global Management, I had the privilege of studying in Dubai, a city teeming with opportunities. It was here that I secured my first internship at Philips (now Signify), a global leader in lighting solutions. What made this experience even more remarkable was that I was working with the head of the finance department and directly reporting to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). It was both an incredible opportunity and an immense responsibility—one that shaped my professional outlook in profound ways.
