Looking back at my time at Durgadevi Saraf Global Business School (DSGS), I can say with full confidence that it was one of the most transformative journeys of my life.
I'm now working as a Junior Data Analyst at ISS-STOXX, where I get to apply the analytical thinking and problem-solving skills I built during my Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM). Every day, my work involves analyzing data, making sense of it, and turning it into insights that actually matter for the business.
A curriculum that shaped how I think My two years in the PGDM program at DSGS gave me much more than theoretical knowledge. The curriculum was designed to deepen my understanding of core business concepts while also sharpening my analytical thinking, leadership abilities, and strategic decision-making skills. It wasn't just about learning concepts from a textbook, it was about learning how to apply them.
Through a mix of academic rigor, practical learning, and real-world exposure, I slowly built the confidence and competence to navigate a business landscape that is constantly changing. Looking back, that combination is exactly what prepared me for the kind of work I do today, where every day brings a new dataset, a new problem, and a new question to answer.
Mentors who made the difference If there's one thing I'm most grateful for from my time at DSGS, it's the professors and staff who guided me along the way. Their support wasn't limited to the classroom, they mentored us, pushed us to think beyond our comfort zones, and constantly encouraged us to aim higher.
Their dedication to excellence rubbed off on all of us. It's because of their guidance that I learned to keep pushing my own boundaries and to treat every challenge as a chance to improve a little more.
Carrying DSGS forward with me As an alumnus of DSGS, I carry forward the values, knowledge, and experiences I gained during those two years. They didn't just shape my career, they shaped how I approach problems and people in general.
I'm proud to be part of such a vibrant and inspiring community, and I'll always look back at my time at DSGS as the foundation of everything I've built since.
