About Mahika: I had been working as a business analyst and have come to UT Austin to pursue MSBA. I’m from India and a complete foodie! Love to dance and discuss Marvel theories. I’ve been dreaming to get my pic clicked in front of UT Tower for the past 2 years.
Proudest Accomplishment: Getting into two of the most esteemed colleges: IIT Roorkee in India and UT Austin and playing basketball at state level.
Why did you choose the MSBA Program? Having 3 years of prior experience in business analytics, I felt it was the right time to go for a Masters in the field to update myself. The program offers in-depth learning in such a well structured manner, along with practical applications to real world use cases. Meeting new people in such a diverse class, learning about new cultures and traditions is another factor that motivated me.
What are you most looking forward to this year? 1. Learning new things every day. 2. Meeting new people and learning about their culture. 3. Making friends. 4. Austin, food, and live music!
