Now the fruitful result has added immeasurable amount of confidence, self belief, courage and rationality in me, for taking calculative risks. Initially the "Business Plan" I proposed for competition was being labeled as ineffective; however, the introduction to the word- perseverance, which I only learned at LPU, enabled me face my critics. I have also learnt through my teachers and mentors that "I CAN" is far more important than one's Intelligence Quotient." She further shared: "In the year 2007, I had stepped in LPU for my B. Tech- Biotechnology (MBA Integrated) Programme, with an aim to be an entrepreneur. I am really indebted to my faculty guides who put in great efforts while shaping my thoughts for such a brilliant outcome."
