⬅ Back to Intro | Next → Chapter 2 – Infosys Ltd 💭 This is part of my career journey series — a personal reflection on the people, experiences, and moments that shaped my path. This isn’t a résumé or professional summary; it’s simply me looking back and sharing the stories that mattered along the way. 📍 Nov 2010 – Nov 2012 | Chennai Fresh out of college, I began my career at Accel Frontline Ltd in Chennai. ...
For over a decade, I’ve been fortunate to work across different organizations, meet amazing people, and grow through experiences that shaped both my career and my personality.
