📊 Rooted in the unwavering principles of empathy and optimism, my fervent ambition is to make a positive impact as a Business Analyst within an organization that upholds robust core values.

📑 A solution-driven professional with a profound interest in Agile Methodologies, Stakeholder Management, and Data Reporting. I possess the unique ability to articulate intricate data insights in a clear and understandable manner, bridging the gap for non-technical audiences.

🏓 As a former national-level table tennis player in India, I have not only honed my athletic prowess but also cultivated invaluable life skills such as perseverance, discipline, and adeptness in handling pressure. Triumphs have taught me humility, and currently, as a coach in Melbourne, I extend these lessons, imparting leadership, planning, teamwork, and motivational skills to aspiring athletes.

✍🏼 My passion for crafting compelling articles and blogs serves as a platform for exchanging insightful thoughts, complemented by a knack for creating visually engaging content for blog posts. As an avid reader of self-help and business literature, I am always open to new learning opportunities and engaging in thought-provoking conversations.

🎗️ Fueled by a profound desire for personal growth through altruistic endeavors, I am an active volunteer who chooses to mentor students aspiring to study abroad, drawing from the wealth of experience garnered throughout my journey. Strength, to me, lies in kindness.

🤝 Eagerly anticipating opportunities for synergies, I am committed to expanding my network by connecting with like-minded individuals. My goal is to foster valuable and meaningful human connections, recognizing the power of collaboration and shared aspirations.

The Importance and Benefits of Mentorship

Image
  We are constantly surrounded by people no matter what phase of life we're in. We have friends, elders, and teachers around us during our childhood. We are surrounded by peers, professors, corporates, or bosses in the later stages of our lives. Have you thought about what impact they have on you and what impact you could have on them? Have you wondered how important this could be? We have all come across the popular saying " Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are." We are indeed the average person of the group or company that we keep. The sooner we realise the astonishing effect the people we surround ourselves with have on us, the better we understand the importance of the right people around us. As demotivating and uninspiring as it gets with the wrong people around, it is also possible to feel equally motivated and inspired around the right people.

Personal Branding for Professional Success

Image
 How to recognise and build a Personal Brand? We have all come across the term "Personal Brand" on various social media platforms through influencers and thought leaders, specifically on LinkedIn. Oftentimes, the way the term sounds makes us feel like it's something big; something that only an influencer or thought leader can have. No doubt that they have a great personal brand but are they the only ones that have it? Weren't these influencers and thought leaders beginners at some point? Didn't they have to build upon their personality to make an impact and build a perception about them? This brings me to the point that most of the attendees in one of my university workshops thought they didn't have a personal brand. The fact that we make it sound big within our mind makes it feel unattainable as a beginner and this is natural. But we all have a personal brand at all points in time whether we know it or not! Very simply, a personal brand is what we're know...
