Hi Ramitha. Are you from Bangalore?

Basically I am from Mangaluru but settled here in Bengaluru.

What do you like about Bangalore?

I like the weather, the malls, the metro, and we have very good facilities here in Bangalore. And we also have a lot of job opportunities available.

What is it that you do not like about Bangalore?

I don’t like the traffic and pollution.

Talking about work, what do you do here in Bangalore?

As soon as I complete my MCA I got placed in Dell EMC as Technical Support Engineer 2 for Enterprise Storages.

Great, do you like your job ? What is it that you like about it the most??

Yes, I like my job. I like to overcome the day -a day challenge which inspires me to work every day. It’s not at all an easy task for a person with cerebral palsy to come out of the comfort zone, travel 60kms per day to job place and work as other individual. But I like to do it with full-heartedly and enjoy my life to the fullest.This job has enabled me to lead my life independently. It has given me a new life and I have seen much improvement in me as an individual and I am growing at the same time.I am still aiming to learn much more things and build my career.

How do you see yourself in the future? Goals, aspirations ?

  In future I want to see myself as a great inspirational/motivational speaker, travel around the world with my speech. Recently, I got a chance to speak at BIMS College in Bangalore. I am also looking for more opportunity to render my speech and motivate people to live their life to the fullest and happily and say everything is possible if we believe in it. And it’s only because of my mom and my family members I could achieve in my life. I have great gratitude for all individuals in my life.

Message to the world.

• Life is not easy but when we believe, we can and we want to do the best possible, then none can stop us
  It does not matter what you don’t have it only matters what you do with what you have.
  Having a big smile and enjoying every moment of our life, making life countable
  Do things which make us happy. And live our life to the fullest.
   

What is it about the company, that you like or dislike?

DellEMC as the company is very supportive of all individuals, they perform yearly programs to get a specially-abled candidate to hire and support, encourage to full fill their dream job.
For me, I have got a 100% support from all, it may be management, peers, managers, facilities, transports, etc. Any issue it will be resolved immediately.
Recently our company has collaborated with kickstart cab for true ability member.
