About Aadithya: I am an ambivert who sometimes defines fun being with friends. At other times it is just the interaction I have with my canvas and colors. I enjoy painting, sketching or any form of art work and I am ever ready to learn new styles. My connection with the brushes has been there for now close to 18 years and always, every single time I paint, there is something about colors that brings me so much peace and happiness. My biggest work has been a solo doodle for 10 hours straight on an office wall.

Proudest accomplishment:

My proudest moment was when I graduated from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad with a degree in Management studies. This was particularly very close to me for two reasons. One, is the clarity I had behind the efforts to get in there and learn. Second, most importantly, is that it was my father’s dream to study in there and I could see how incredibly proud he was of me on the graduation day. He didn’t have to say, I didn’t have to ask, I could feel it.

Why did you choose the MSBA Program?

I joined the Marketing team of one of the leading telecom firms in India. I was introduced to analytics for the first time when we were working on customer segmentation, product performance, etc. I could clearly see the connection between data analytics and business decisions made. I realized that knowing analytics would give me an edge in the future business world. So, I decided to pursue a master’s in business analytics.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

Most importantly, I am looking forward to build lasting relationships with peers from diverse backgrounds. Secondly, the vast knowledge gain on the subject of analytics along with the industry experience I would get from our capstone project. I have learned a lot in the short time I’ve been here. I am confident that I would be equipped with the tools necessary to tackle industry problems and looking forward to make impactful contribution.
