My mentor helped me see new perspectives in solving business problems and rightly guided me all along until the completion of my
program.
The experience, training and knowledge I gained was key to improving my personal skills and enriching my professional and training project.
Half of my learning was a result of my mentor helping me to see the contrasts and similarities between what I was studying in
class versus what happened in the real world.
I am working as joint managing director in Aquatek Sanitary Fittings Pvt Ltd. I have learnt a lot about the market flow and it helps
me to understand the need of the market.
The contents and curriculum are at par with the global reputed universities like Oxford and Cambridge. Joining Rushford was the best decision for me.
