Seize every moment
Early on in my schooling, I developed a love towards medicine since my father was an anesthetist and had friends of similar interests as well. Since I performed well in programming during high school, I chose computer science as my undergraduate major. While I enjoyed learning computer science, I wanted to understand how companies work at scale, what goes into making great businesses. I was fortunate to get accepted into University of Leeds for a Masters in International Business, I was surrounded by smart, intellectual yet humble minds and it changed the way I looked at life.As I completed my postgraduate, I joined a company called Quizizz - I worked as a Customer Success Manager. This was completely different from how I had envisioned working on technical things during my undergraduate, but I really liked being in a customer-facing role. Fast forward to today, I've now joined the Revenue team at DevRev - having managed subscriptions in a SaaS company and a good understanding of how tech works, I wanted to work in the intersection of business + tech. When I first heard about the opportunity, it was fascinating and it felt like a role that was designed for me.
While specializing in a craft is important, I personally feel it is equally important to dabble across diverse domains which I love and understand how things work. This allows you to apply the best practices and learnings cross-industry and bring innovation in each discipline. Through interests in medicine, computer science, business, and customer success, I learnt a variety of skills that are specific to each niche. As a result, I can now produce my best work and generate creative ideas whenever I work. I learnt Karate in school, and Taekwondo during college, and also hold a Guinness record. This taught me grit, perseverance - I am a perpetual learner and I now go after every opportunity that I see to bring out the best in myself. I look forward to working with the DevRev team to create something from nothing and build delightful products for customers.
