Shortly after GGI, I joined Morgan Stanley and got Wharton MBA admit.

?Shortly after GGI, I joined 摩根士丹利 and got 美国宾夕法尼亚大学 - 沃顿商学院 #MBA admit.

I was a student at BITS Goa. I had always been interested in policy, and that is how I discovered GGI and learned about the masterclasses that GGI offers.?

In 2020, I started working on my own agri-tech start-up and enrolled for a GGI fellowship to drive my startup with the mentorship of the GGI Cofounders. ?

The calls I had with Shatakshi provided me guidance on how to tackle problems while building my enterprise from a BCG point of view. Since the founders were building GGI at the same time, a lot of their advice was relevant to scaling a start-up.?

While I decided not to pursue my start-up at a later stage, the sessions definitely helped me develop a critical thinking mindset, which has continued to be beneficial.?

Q: One word that would describe my GGI experience?

My experience at GGI has been eye-opening. The achievements and diversity of the cohort have been very beneficial. It showed me that there are various paths to my goals.?
