“As the saying goes “Don’t wish for it, work for it”, I have a clear goal in mind; to get into IIM-Ahmedabad. I believe practice makes a man perfect, so I used to solve problems whenever I had time. Working hard towards my aim paid off well and lead me here. I'm grateful to my parents who have stood by my side throughout,” said Shivam Gupta.
