“Leadership has been the cornerstone of my journey since childhood. Serving as Head Boy for four consecutive years, I cultivated strong interpersonal skills and learned the value of fostering collaborative environments. Building on two years of hands-on experience in business operations, I continued to seek opportunities to empower others during my time at Christ University. As the Class Representative for 2MCOMIF, I championed event participation, organized skill development workshops, and fostered a supportive classroom atmosphere where every voice was valued. This commitment to leadership expanded in my second year when I was elected as the University Student Council representative for all PG programs under the Department of Professional Studies. Beyond leadership, my love for poetry has refined my empathy and communication skills—key traits for connecting with people and solving problems effectively. My passion for financial markets is deeply rooted in my upbringing. Growing up in Ahmedabad, Gujarat—a city that breathes the spirit of the share bazaar—I immersed myself in my family’s financial advisory business for two years. This hands-on experience, coupled with the city’s vibrant trading culture, solidified my foundational knowledge and sharpened my skills in finance, As the captain of Team Doji, I leveraged my deep understanding of financial markets, strategic leadership, and large-scale management experience to guide my team to success. These accomplishments underscore my dedication to finance, leadership, and fostering a thriving community for learning and growth,” shared Sonit Rajpurohit about his journey of bringing this glory to the nation.
