Sujit's Mantra

Take responsibility of yourself - creating positive change in yourself is the biggest challenge - and only you can do it to yourself.
There is a science to building confidence - taking small, logical steps.
An interview is not a test of your knowledge, but of how well you understand yourself
Start the PDP process early. The syllabus is huge because the syllabus is you

Students Speak!!!

If Sujit were interviewed - "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"

Strengths

  • My ability to teach difficult concepts in an easy way
  • Clarity of thought and communication
  • I like to take a lot of risks and can handle failure with ease

Weaknesses

  • I have high expectations from others; and I make my team feel the pressure
  • I try to do too many tasks at the same time
  • Task-obsessed; sometimes, my focus on work makes me forget the people around me

Favorite Poet

Rudyard Kipling

Favourite poem: 'If' by Rudyard Kipling. I really like these lines

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

Role Model

Roger Federer

Reasons:

  • His exciting style of play, which is high on risk and self-belief
  • His humility, sense of humor, the respect he shows to others
  • I also admire the work he does outside his sport - in supporting initiatives for furthering early education in Africa
