Message from Pavithree B. Shetty:
My aspiration is to become a professor and pass on my knowledge to the coming generations. From a very young age I had an urge to teach others, and when I got a chance to listen to Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam live, his words inspired me to become a professor. He wasn’t just a source of inspiration but my role model in life who taught me that it is not necessary to be a teacher to teach.
I’m really happy at the moment. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of our faculties and management. I would like to thank God, my parents and my family who always supported me in all my endeavors. I’m grateful to Prof. Sudheer Shetty, Dean-Examinations, who is my personal mentor, guide and whose valuable suggestions at every stage have finally borne fruit today.
I would also like to thank Dr. Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman, and Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management for providing us with all the facilities and practical based learning which helps in the overall development of a student’s skill set. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Principal, Dean, HoD and the whole department of Computer Science & Engineering for being very supportive at every stage. Last but not the least I would like to thank my friends for always being there for me. I’d always be grateful to this beautiful institution which has been the backbone to my success.

Athmeeya’s message:
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my teachers, parents, husband, and friends who have supported and inspired me in reaching this milestone. I am an engineer by training who decided to pursue MBA after a brief gap of 6 years from academics. Initially when I joined the Department of Business Administration at Sahyadri. This is when all the lecturers and faculty members of Sahyadri helped and inspired me. They were ever-welcoming to the silliest of doubts I carried to the staff rooms and did a virtual hand-holding to me in all the subjects I was not familiar with. They instilled in me a sense of belongingness and self-belief for which I am ever grateful to them. In fact, the entire ecosystem of Sahyadri MBA with its special focus on project-work, seminars and workshops, participation in events such as Whiz quiz, budget presentation etc has enriched me both personally and academically and added immense value to the process of pursuing MBA. In future, I would like to build on the success and my learning’s in Sahyadri and pursue a career in teaching and also pursue a PhD from a reputed institution.

“Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success” this is what Sahyadri taught me during my MBA. I am able to achieve this by believing what I had in me and my teachers who always were by my side. The hard work of my teachers and my interest to learn brought me to this day. I aim to complete PhD in Finance in future days. Education is complete when it is shared to others. I also wish to contribute to society as much as possible in my lifetime”.
