Overview
About Me
Growing up, I always hankered to explore opportunities in Travel and Tourism by reading maps and backpacking on shoestring journeys since a pretty young age. While I was enlivened by the idea of Travel, I was also enthralled to understand the upcoming technologies in this subject that were taking over the world as I was growing up. Naturally, my inclination towards Global World and Tourism led me to pursue further education in Travel and Tourism. Studying the areas of World Geography, Culture, History, Tourism Management, Foreign Languages and many others satiated my thirst for the field. By the time I graduated, I already worked as a Tour Manager barnstorming into 24 states across the Indian Subcontinent. It was a source of open learning. I slowly began realizing my prowess as a good leader and capable manager during the course of my undergraduate degree itself. Soon after, I started completing the inner areas of my country by being a gadabout in search of knowledge about one of the ancient civilizations in the world. Thereafter, I gathered the courage and acquired an MBA from the prestigious, Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management, Ministry of Tourism Government of India. My knowledge of the Travel field proved rewarding as the major products including MBA for Travel and Tourism. After completing my MBA in Travel and Tourism, I worked with many travel companies ranging from TUI to IRCTC. I completed certifications in French and Spanish from renowned institutes like Alliance française and Instituto Cervantes. I also studied Russian and German at basic levels and obtained A1 and B1 certificates respectively.
