Family Details

My Father, (Fathers Name) is a retired serviceman (Veteran) from Indian army and also a retired senior security officer from (Company XXXX) . My mother, (Mothers Name) is a retired postmaster. I also have an elder brother, (Brothers Name). It is my pleasure to note that my family has been my pillar of strength, offering me all the aids and support throughout my life.
Education and Employment background
From my school days, I had the reputation of being an active person. I used to involve in as many as extracurricular and socio-cultural activities along with my studies. I managed to score decently in my secondary school certificate examination and higher secondary school examination from the Board of Intermediate Education. After that, I received an allotment for the Bachelor's degree program in Mechanical engineering at JNTU University in Telangana. Later, I felt the need for a much pragmatic and contemporary education and I went overseas to the USA to pursue my Masters. I completed my Masters in Mechanical engineering from (US University) with a considerably good cumulative grade point of 3.3 in 2009. The curriculum was extensive, covering topics such as finite element methods, composite material tests and characteristics, advanced composed materials, advanced fluid dynamics, advanced materials etc. I have already learned the fundamental courses of Information technology from under graduation itself and had been exposed to programming languages, databases, robotics, and statistics. Data Analysis, though not learned as a separate course, had always been a part of my education especially during the work regarding dissertations, which I had to submit during my studies.
After studies, I was offered an opportunity to be an intern as a system designer at (US Employer). My software skills and knowledge in the field of IT increased tremendously from this place. After the six month internship, I was hired as a full-time employee here.
For the past eight years, I have worked in different positions with (US Employer). I began as an SQL Server Database Administrator at (US End Client1), one of the leading health care clients from Maryland in 2010. I was exposed to a wide range of tools, technologies and programming languages. Later, I could resolve the complex data warehouse related issues of this company. In 2013, (US Employer). assigned me with a much bigger client, (End Client2), and I was posted as the Data Warehouse Analyst. With an intensive training of three months in Data Science, I built a solid foundation in the topic and also learned concepts like steering rapid model creation in Python using Pandas, Numpy, Scikit and Plotly for data visualization. I was promoted as a data scientist in 2017, and this time the client was (US End Client3). I interpreted their large data sets and developed forecasting models that could improve the grading procedure and student-faculty ratio. Later in 2017 august, considering my experience in the health care sector, I was assigned to work as a data scientist with the largest Healthcare Provider Client (End Client4). I completed the assignments and delivered well-designed solutions that provided immense business value.
Why have I selected Masters in Business Administration from University Canada West, Canada?
I completed my secondary and higher secondary examination with decent scores, yet I prefer the type of knowledge that I can apply beneficially in my life and can make structures in society. The rigorous training I received in my B.Tech program was primarily theory-oriented. However, the education I received for my Masters and the experience I had with (US Employer) is priceless and these years helped me to understand my professional strengths. I received incomparable exposure, working with several clients and complex assignments. After working as a data scientist for (End Client4) and (End Client4), I have figured out that a managerial role that is related to data analysis will be a perfect position for me. As the current business scene adds more responsibility upon the professionals, it is important to learn various strategies used by the experts of international business in managing complex projects. This contemplation had led me to decide to pursue a higher course in Business Administration. I am applying for admission in MBA from the University Canada West, intending to combine my skills as a data scientist/ analyst with a set of administration and management skills.
After thorough research on various websites and review pages on the internet, I came to know that Canada will be the best option for me. My conclusion is based upon several aspects such as quality of education, expenses, the standard of living, lifestyle of the country, and style of education. While offering me the best quality of education in the advanced pedagogical structure within an affordable range of expenses, Canada has also devised strong support facilities for international students. Considering all these factors, I selected Canada as my destination for higher studies.
After deciding about the country, the next task was to select the proper university that will offer me the most advantageous pragmatic education. I started my research through the websites of the esteemed universities listed under the Canadian university ranking. The reviews and experiences of old students about University of Canada West Vancouver were exceptional. In the website of the institution, I have read about all the details of the character of the organization and the curriculum of Masters in business administration. While the campus is a community of culturally diverse international scholars, the courses were delivered under an elite utilitarian atmosphere. I came to understand that for professionals aspire to work in higher positions of business and technological functions of institutions like me can make the maximum benefit out of this lucrative course.
The curriculum is devised to nurture the skills and knowledge necessary to operate in international socio-political scenarios comprising courses in marketing, finance, management and entrepreneurship. It also covers the legal and cultural contexts on a broad level. This program is designed to meet the growing requirements of the real industry that will help me to set up an IT consulting company in future. It is aimed to prepare students for various roles of consultancy, implementation, and leadership that are integrated with Business administration and management. A combination of the technical skills with business acumen is yet another lucrative quality of the program.
As I am applying through Non - SDS stream I have already paid the required amount of $7900 which is the first term fee along with GIC of $10,000 with CIBC bank as annual living expense. All the arrangements to fund the course are completed. I have gifted my parents an amount of approx. 111,579 CAD while I was working in United States. I have all the supporting documents to prove the claim. Apart from this I have a Fixed Deposit on my name of approx. 16821.42 CAD. The money I have gifted to my parents will be reverted back to me as a gift again from parents to take care of all my expenses including tuition fee, living expenses etc. I also own a property of worth $281366 CAD and have completed the property evaluation report by a certified government licensed evaluator followed by certified Chartered Accountant Report.
As a person who has been living in the USA for more than 10 years, the university is not demanding any other certificates to prove my English language proficiency.
Plans after course completion
I would like to return to my homeland after the completion of the course and start an IT Consulting. I hope that such an institution will be very beneficial in a country like India where the IT industry is one of the fields that is sought by the Millenials. I have been away from my family for more than a decade and I hope that after completing this course I can finally return and settle in my home country, starting my own enterprise.
