I remain true to the quote of the famous actor Seam Hampton: "A dream without ambition is like a car without petrol, you go nowhere", which always makes me turn the engine and guides me through the path of my dreams. My passion for cars and the thirst for experimental study among experts in automotive technology motivated me to apply for a Master's degree in automotive technology at Eindhoven University of Technology.

A series of carriages pulled by a monobloc engine sparked my fascination from a very young age. All the answers to my curious mind were answered when I visited a locomotive maintenance depot where my father worked. I was mesmerized by the huge engine blocks and turbo units and was amazed when I looked at the heavy machinery. Eventually my passion for cars grew and I continued to visit the place long after secondary school. By interacting with engineers, I began to realize my dream of becoming a mechanical engineer. When I was in school, I had extraordinary dreams, dreams that I wanted to turn into reality. My zeal for success and competitive spirit only motivated me to stand out among everyone and complete my secondary education with a total of 91%, which was later improved to 96% during my intermediate studies. During my undergraduate education at VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology, I tried to dig into the roots of my study. During the course, I found myself delving into topics such as Thermodynamics, Thermal Engineering, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines and Machine Design. Never fully satisfied with conventional classroom learning, I have tried to learn from every source possible. I insisted on training practically, industrially, which explains my prolonged stay in the laboratories. This resulted in me achieving an academic aggregate of 8.73 (CGPA) in my undergraduate study. A strong believer in hands-on training, I worked hard to immerse myself in the practical concepts of the field and found myself participating in other co-curricular activities beyond my classroom to explore the field in depth. I have completed a certification course on CATIA and ANSYS from Central Institute of Tool Design, India. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience on engine blocks of various two- and four-wheeled vehicles during Ezenith's Fast Track Assembly and Disassembly Workshop. I learned with great interest how an engine works. I continued my internship at Indian South Central Railways, where I worked on turbochargers of diesel locomotives, which gave me in-depth knowledge of the design and functioning of turbochargers used in locomotives. My passion for cars and knowledge of drive systems increased. It was during the end of my third year that I had the opportunity to do an on-site internship in the production and inspection divisions of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, a well-known industry in the country. During this phase, I gained real temporal exposure to the manufacturing industry and how it works. I learned in detail, the challenges, problems faced in manufacturing and later learned the solutions and working. My interest in building materials was further strengthened when, together with a team of 24 people, I participated in the 2017 SAE BAJA championship.
