Statement of purpose for undergrad in business studies
“Take up one idea. Make that idea your life- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success”. I read this quote by Swami Vivekananda in 2011 when I was deciding my career choice in 2011 when I was in Grade 11.

I made it to the top 80 students to get admission to the coveted College of business studies, Delhi University (voted as Asia's best undergraduate management college by the Commonwealth of Nations).

I now feel strongly that I would like to pursue this career further. During the one and a half years of my undergraduate studies, I interacted with students from different cultural and social backgrounds. The college has a strong culture of developing practical skills and
