SP Jain’s Study Abroad Program allows students to spend a semester with partner universities across the globe, including in Canada, France, Finland, China, Spain, Netherlands, and Croatia, to name a few countries, for student exchanges. 

After spending roughly a decade in fintech, BBA graduate Joel Silverberg took a senior leadership role at Klarna, managing an organisation with ~100 people while also building the business in the USA and the UK.  As the next step in his career, in January 2023, Joel took the plunge to join Fairlo, a consumer lending fintech scale-up, as the Chief Product Officer. Parallelly, he also sits on the board of a few startups and VCs.
A true inspiration to young minds, how did Joel scale these brilliant heights at such a young age? What transformations has he seen in the fintech industry over the last decade, and how will it change? We spoke to Joel over a quick interview when he was a part of Klarna to gain his insights. Let’s find out.

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.
