STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I believe that the ability to invent, innovate and discover is the foundation for success. I
have always been driven by the desire to create, to experiment and go beyond the passive
acquisition of knowledge. I come from a family that has been successfully running an
engineering conglomerate for over 2 decades now. As a child I was exposed to various
technological concepts and applications which inspired me to pursue a career in engineering. My
aim has always been to join the family business and contribute my knowledge & expertise to it.
Hence, I chose to major in Production Engineering at the undergraduate level to ensure a sound
technological base.

Today, the fields of Engineering and Technology are continuously changing to

accommodate new concepts and applications. These fields when combined with management
give rise to a vast application potential. The immense possibility of Business Interchange and the
instant knowledge of the outcome that stimulates one for further analysis is what I find most
appealing about management. Hence, I intend to pursue my masters in Supply Chain
Management.

In my SSC (10th) I scored 84.18% from Board of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary
Education, Subsequently I pursued my Polytechnic Degree from Maharashtra State Board of
Technical Education securing 73.06% in my Final year. Last but not the least in my
undergraduate study, I benefited from the breadth of Konkan Gyanpeeth college of Engineering
Of Mumbai University’s syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core
areas of Production Engineering and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. During the
course of study I was exposed to Machine Drawings, design of machine elements, manufacturing
processes, MIS, Production & Operations management and many more interesting subjects. In
my Bachelors I stood 1st from my Engineering College securing 9.28 cgpa in my Final Semester
(SEMESTER 8th) in Production Engineering Department. My overall Aggregate for Bachelors is
7.75 Cgpa (70%)
 As per my final year curriculum Syllabi in Semester 7 we had to undergo In-plant
Training in particular Organization.I was selected in Godrej & Boyce Mfg Ltd.Vikhroli,Mumbai at
INTERIO DIVISION for duration of 6 months I. E. (22 June 2018 to 21 Dec 2018'. In this regard I
did my Final year project on ‘Rationalisation & Optimization of Godre INTERIO Procurement
System ’. The project was highly appreciated by my project guide and external evaluator as well.

To enhance my detailed knowledge of Inplant Training that I have learned in 6 months,

I implemented '5S', 'KAIZEN' & 'AISLE MARKING CONCEPT' in my Engineering College
Workshop. I have also delivered Seminar on 'Industrial Safety' & 'Personal Protective
Equipments' to fellow students of Mechanical & Production Engineeriing Department in my
Engineering College explaining them the safety Precautions and Purpose of wearing Safety
Equipments while working on a machine.

It was during this time that I realized that though my undergraduate study helped me
gain the necessary technical knowledge; there was still a lot that I had to learn to professionally
manage the business. This made me determined to learn the management skills so as to handle
projects and people in a better way. Hence, I decided to pursue my Masters in Supply Chain
Management.

All through my school and college life I have been involved in various extra-curricular
activities. I have not just participated in many competitions but have also organized them. I am
passionate about sports like cricket and badminton and have participated in many inter-college
competitions. During my undergraduation, I was part of a team that organized a cultural festival
in our campus that won accolades from not just our college but also from other colleges. This
experience taught me various management aspects like working in a team, planning, organizing
etc.
 My objectives of joining a Masters in Supply Chain Management are very clear-cut. I
want to hone my intellectual abilities; to acquire in-depth competence in my stream of
engineering; to develop individuality and to expand my horizons of knowledge. My aim is to
gain advanced knowledge in field of Technology as well as Management for learning that how
proper optimization of resources are done for getting work done in Particular Period which in
turn increaes Productivity of an Industry.

The reason why I decided to pursue my Masters in United Kingdom is because my

country has a long history and connections with United Kingdom, it is a globally influential
center of finance and culture. Besides UK Universities offer students the freedom to explore new
ideas and creativity. The students of this Universities are encouraged to do individual research
work.

Pursuing Masters from an internationally reputed University like Portsmouth University

is my long cherished dream. Going through your brochure and web pages, I feel that the ‘Supply
Chain Management’ program offered by your University fulfills my needs and interests.
Restricting to one area of study with tremendous competition around is not very helpful and the
versatility of courses in this Program amazes me and fosters my keenness in joining this
program. I believe that this program along with my determination, hard work, perseverance and
dedication will help me overcome all hurdles in my future endeavors. Hence, I encourage you to
give my application a thoughtful consideration.

I look forward to an academic career at your esteemed Portsmouth University .
