If I have to state the factor that completely transformed myself from a pessimistic, isolated and unsuccessful individual to an optimistic, socialized individual, who is now on the track to success, then it is the culture of and people associated with GIFT University.

Among the top-level professors, the support of my friends and the administration, I feel that this program equipped me for success, not just in the short term, but for a long time to come. GIFT’s socializing and supportive culture is its hallmark. One such example includes the vibrant societies of GIFT and I had the opportunity to serve Management Scholars Forum as General Secretary, where I polished my communication, socializing & time management skills and learned how the team effectively works. I owe GBS so much and I am confident that those students who will capitalize on opportunities at GIFT, will be rewarded with the best for the rest of their lives.
