Alumni Testimonials

I always wanted to study Engineering and build a career in telecom and software. Joining Chitkara (then) College of Engineering and Technology in 2002 was my ticket to success. My time in Chitkara not only enriched my mind on the academic front but also provided me with several options to enhance myself in sports, oratory, and cultural activities. Not to mention the relationships that I have cherished over the years with my batch mates, juniors and teachers alike! All our teachers always went the extra mile to make sure we would succeed. In the end it’s all about the teaching, I thank them for what all we students are today. Only a fool leaves Chitkara with just a degree, everyone else leaves the institution with enough knowledge and experience to excel in life. In my belief, an alumni is (or should) always support his/her institution. Let’s get together to show that support and solidarity and Come together once again as Chitkarians.

When I reflect on my journey with Chitkara University for the B-Tech program, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better engineer but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. Throughout the academic sessions with incredibly supportive classmates and professors who were nothing short of champions, I was challenged to discover my capabilities that I never knew I had. Finding those capabilities have played a central role in my career, as trusting yourself, taking challenges and having a will to complete your endeavors makes you a better competitor and help you grow multiple folds in your career. Having been shaped in part by the collegial and creative, yet rigorous environment at Chitkara, I found myself able to communicate, innovate, and collaborate in ways that enabled me to become a good learner, communicator and eventually to find a rewarding career in one of the reputed MNC. I also did EPGBM Course from IIM, Calcutta. In my current role as Principal Product Manager with CA Technologies, I work with engineers, customers, stake holders and with the broader IT community. I draw every day on the dispositions I developed during my time at Chitkara. It has been an unforgettable journey and wonderful days of my life at Chitkara College.

Its my privilege to be a part of Chitkara and thanks CAN for the tremendous efforts to connect the Alumni of Chitkara. I am a Delhite. My career got plotted like a sine wave, the peak is still to be achieved. Since I am an Electrical Engineer- I would take a moment to phrase it technically-I tried to align the phases of my life equally so that the “neutral” that is the ‘’efforts’’ gets linked to have a distributed load that is “peace” in life. Having an experience of 8 years as of now, I have been associated with Wipro Limited as Design executive-lighting division, in Oman as Design Engineer-lighting solutions with the exclusive channel partner of Philips lighting. Here I have worked extensively with consultants, architects-specifiers for the projects to be executed across whole Oman region. Followed by a further opportunity to work in Dubai, the city of Architectural creations, I worked as Project Sales Manager for UAE region with the exclusive channel partner of Philips lighting based in Dubai and I thank Chitkara for this light coming my way and shining my life. I am a proud Light Ambassador of Chitkara around the Globe.

I am one of those who are working behind those swanky shining beautiful lights in your homes, offices and malls, We are those who convert energy to light… convert Calorie of coal to MW . Journey from College to Corporate life , from completion of assignment to meeting the timeline of projects, from encouraging words of H’ble Madhu Ma’am to learn the ways of corporate world from my Boss, from last benches of classrooms to work desks, from canteen to pantry – I am one of the luckiest fellows who transposed from Brand to Brand – Chitkara to Larsen and Toubro (a multibillion dollar Indian Conglomerate). Unchanged were the inculcated habits of discipline, aggression, positive attitude and sense of team work, unchanged was the feeling of pride when I was Editor of College magazine and when my articles published in College magazine. The problems during engineering tenure gave me solutions when I was stuck in the lurch of midnight to meet the deadlines of professional milestones. Those small challenges laid the milestone of getting the best out of me during bigger challenges faced in the professional life… That is the essence of being Chitkarian. Serving my nation as a part of best Power generation company” Nabha Power Ltd” is a moment of pride and Thanks Almighty that I am still connected to roots as I am working in my Punjab and enjoying the benefits of Professionalism along with togetherness of family…Thanks Chitkara Alumni Network for bringing Ex-Chitkarians back on a single platform wherein we can mesmerize and re-cherish the beautiful glorious moments of best phase of life…
