I would like to join a company that enhances my creative potential and helps me develop a strong foothold in the industry. Strength Being from a Defense background, I have travelled vastly across India. I have witnessed the beauty of culturally dominant states like the myriad tribes of Nagaland to the colourful and rich Rajasthan; from the snow peaks of the Himalayas to the striking sunsets of Kanyakumari. This exposure to different cultures gives me a strong understanding of the varying needs of people. This I believe is my biggest Strength.
