An Interview by e-mail:

1. How you started into computers. Your first encounter with the 

    PC etc?

During my college and school days I was considered as a mediocre student. I never had found myself motivated for studies. So after my graduation, I was not sure what to do with my future. I joined computer classes without any clear vision due to family insistence. But after joining NIIT, I discovered new potentials in myself. I got motivated and thoroughly enjoyed my computer studies. I would like to thank Ajay Jani for helping me out and rediscovering my potentials and showing me a right path to explore them.

At the Campus

2. Your inspirations here in Bhavnagar?

Of course my parents come first. Even I was a mediocre in studies my parents always backed my decision. They trusted me and my talent. NIIT also played a major role to Architect my career in computer. Ajay Jani, B.J.Jagani, Shailesh Bhatt and Minesh Kakkad were my perpetual source of guidance.

3. What did u dream as a child to become?

Honestly I had no aspiration when I was a kid. I had no idea what profession I would end up with.

After joining NIIT

Was always there. Today whatever am I, I give credit to my family. And also friends were there too for me.

6. How was your first day at Microsoft?

I was nervous. When I looked at Internet Explorer Lab, I was totally amused. I had used IE, but now I was a part of IE. It made me feel proud of myself.

7. If you have met bill, when how and some details.

I never got chance to meet him personally. But we had a team meeting with him and our CEO. After meeting them from such a close proximity I realized how humble and down to earth these people are. I am sure someone who has never seen them or never heard about them it would have been hard for them to find out how wealthy these people are?

I started with Internet Explorer and from past couple years I am working in Microsoft Office.

At a Meeting

My days are usually busy, but when we have a release or deadline to meet my days are super busy. During my super duper busy days my wife has to come to office just to see me.
