My name is Akshay Karande and I am from Mumbai, India. I have completed my graduation in
Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication department from Mumbai University. Currently, I
am pursuing MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Jammu.

I would describe myself as a pro-active and open-minded person who like to take on challenges. I am
the kind of person who like to explore new things in life. I prefer to analyse problems to its core and
evaluate it from various perspectives before taking any decision. I have strong self- belief and always
strive for the best. I remember that after my first attempt at CAT, when I was not able to get
admission into a reputed B-school, I felt devastated. I had the option of going for less reputed B-
school, but I had this dream of studying at an IIM. I decided to believe in myself and not give up on
my dream of studying at an IIM. I rectified my mistakes and constantly worked to improve myself.
Finally, my dream was fulfilled when I secured admission in IIM Jammu. I still remember the day
when my phone flashed with the message “Congratulations, you have secured admission in IIM
Jammu”. This incident taught me the importance of self-belief, dedication and integrity. Also, it made
me realize that one must always take responsibility of his/her work and never stop learning.

The first thing that I will do is that I will thoroughly read the report which is given by Upraised
highlighting my strengths and blindspots. It will give me an idea on the skills that I need to improve. I
would focus on improving my blindspots and at the same time further strengthen my strong skills. I
will talk to people who have performed better than me and ask for their advice. I would try to know
what exactly they did differently and how can I improve myself. I would also talk to experienced
people in the industry to understand the skills and the traits required to be successful as a product
manager. Since I want to pursue opportunities in the analytics industry, I would also focus on leaning
