how i ended up at Sandi.

A short intro about my company. Check out www.sandi.co.in . This is an aerospace consultancy company. Started by Prof Balakrishnan and Dr. Nikhil Shinde of IISc, Bangalore, this is one of the fastest developing aerospace consultancy companies in the world. Started under the SID program this is an MIT and government of India funded company.
It all started for me at the end of second year. Like every other student in NIT Trichy i was also looking to get an summer intern in some IIT. I dint know the existence of IISc then. I had mailed couple of profs in IITkgp and IITd and got projects there. While i was deciding on where to go after my semester exams, my friend Sabharish (known to everyone as sab) gave me a call and asked me to join him at IISc banglore. After a quick google search in my mobile, I realise that IISc is the premier institute of research in India. I quickly said a 'yes' to my friend.
Only later did i come to know that our proj was in Aerospace Engg dept. Though initially i regretted my decision to go to IISc, later on only did i realize that this was the best decisioni have made in my academic life :) :D What started off as a project in my second year eventually become an intern in my third year summer vacation. I had earned my first salary then :) :)
In my third year my prof had already started the company. He had shown an inclination towards making me an employee in his company( Though he never made it clear then).
In my eighth sem when i had totally forgotten about IISc, i got a telephone call from my prof and he offered me a position in his company. It was a matter of great pride for me. Before that i had sat for many companies in my campus interviews, sadly i never cleared any interview round( though for the record sake i had cleared the Written and GD rounds of almost every company i sat for).
College life getting over is the saddest thing in my life so far. Though I was home sick I couldn't stay at home, i was already missing my friends. I wanted to go for job at the earliest.
I joined sandi on June 1st and thankfully i like my job. The best part about my job is the freedom I get here. There is no official timing for me to report at office and i get to do some quality work too :) :). Being a start-up company i can choose what area i want to work on :) This is the best possible way for my mind to come out of NITT.
