MY FIRST STEPS
Post my higher education with the specialization in Marketing, I have acquired knowledge through various avenues including internships, technical projects, certifications, and academic programs. Today, all these skills and knowledge had made me realize that I was set with a goal in my life. And the goal was to land up in an exciting career which will make all my learnings put into implementation.
To pursue my goal, I was looking for a right break in my career and that is when I got a call from S-Square Systems. A young, dynamic and evolving company which was setting a strong foothold in the Indian IT industry. I was excited, curious, nervous, full of dreams, and thought that it will also pass.

This organization (S-Square) follows a rigorous screening process. They not only look for a talented individual but also someone who is willing to learn and be a part in building and taking the company to the next level. After multiple rounds of the interview process, I got filtered through analytical and communication tests. I had waited for over two weeks to know the result of my interview and had almost lost hope and one fine day I got a call from S-Square congratulating me about confirmation on my employment.
