SP JAIN GLOBAL BLOGS

Earlier this year, Tushar Sonthalia bagged an internship that made heads turn. The 20-year-old Bachelor of Data Science graduate from SP Jain recently secured a Data Science internship at Amazon where he worked closely with some of the brightest minds in the industry. And now, after acing his 6-month internship, Tushar has converted this opportunity into a full-time role at Amazon as a Business Analyst.

How did Tushar successfully convert his internship, and what is he looking forward to from this new role at Amazon? Let’s find out.

Even as the pandemic took a mental toll on us, a strong-headed Sanskruti didn’t let it deter her aspirations to create sustainability and change for society.

19-year-old Sanskruti Dhawley (BBA intake of 2020) founded Synergia with an aim to spread health resilience amidst COVID-19 and build strong mental and physical health through Yoga and Meditation. A Dean-lister student and a Yoga entrepreneur, she is also the Project Head at UPAY’s Campaign Manzil.

The desire to live a sustainable and conscious life originated from within around the time when I was in sixth grade. Since then, I’ve been a proponent of sustainability and have had the opportunity to study more about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When I was voted president of my high school student council in Grade 11, I was inspired to give back to society. As one of my first initiatives, I began humanitarian work with the hopes of having a good impact on society and mankind.

With a magnitude of learning experiences, whether formal or informal, SP Jain EMBA alumni Esperanza Walsh believes in taking everything in her stride. Having a multifaceted background in Engineering, Banking, Art and community-based projects, she is an efficient professional with multi-disciplinary experience and education.

Today, let's meet our BBA graduate Nicolaas Kimman (Founder & General Manager of Ragam Foundation), a problem-solver dedicated to making a better world.

Ragam (meaning diversity) Foundation, a non-profit organisation, aims to tackle the variety of issues that Bali, Indonesia, is facing. It implements several key initiatives and programs that interconnect in order to have a sustainable and significant impact. Nicolaas and his team ensure that thousands of 'bungkus' nutritious homemade meals reach Bali's most vulnerable communities every week and provide income opportunities, access to clean water and much more.

After completing Grade 12, Vritti Bhambhvani (BBA Intake of 2018) was confused about which career path to take; but there was one thing she knew for sure – she wanted to explore the globe and experience the different cultures.

Tushar Sonthalia and Hetvi Dedhia, our final year Bachelor of Data Science (BDS) students, have achieved some great professional milestones at a very young age. While Tushar is currently working as a Machine Learning Researcher at Adaptive Investment Solutions (a FinTech start-up based out of Boston), Hetvi recently wrapped up her 6-month internship at ACG Worldwide where she worked as a Data Science Intern.

Tushar and Hetvi also recently landed an internship at Amazon – achieving a highly coveted milestone for any undergraduate student. How did they crack the selection process at Amazon and land this role? We caught up with Tushar and Hetvi to learn more about their journey.

Many-a-times you get carried away with the opportunities that lie in front of you instead of taking the path that you’ve always wanted. Pursuing your passion as an entrepreneur comes with great risk but with the right knowledge, skills and business exposure, you will be able to lead a successful entrepreneurial journey.

Our SP Jain alumnus, Shubham Kedia, from the BBA ’14 batch, is an example of a passionate entrepreneur who turned down two major corporate roles and chose to start a business of his own. Read on to know more about his journey.

Transitioning to college life, far away from the comfort of home, is a difficult journey for most students. As they embark on their own, many move away from family and friends for the first time.

This year, as many new students start their global undergraduate journey with SP Jain, here are a few heartfelt messages their parents shared for them.
