Anuraag Sharma
I'm Anuraag Sharma, an MBA in Finance alumnus of Aurora’s PG College (MCA), Hyderabad. My time at Aurora was a transformative experience that shaped my professional journey and personal growth. The college's emphasis on business ethics, integrity, and responsible decision-making laid a strong foundation for my career. I developed critical skills like analytical thinking, communication, and leadership through classroom learning, projects, and case discussions.
Inspired by the entrepreneurial mindset encouraged by the college, I started my own venture early on. This experience taught me valuable lessons in resilience, accountability, and trust-building. My MBA project on “The Impact of IPO on LIC” further deepened my understanding of financial markets. I’m proud to have received the Best Management Person Award during my time at Aurora. Currently, I work as a Research Analyst and SME at Accenture, Hyderabad, where I've been recognized with the Whiz Kid Award and Business Encore Award.
Alongside my corporate career, I'm also a proud entrepreneur with multiple business ventures. My entrepreneurial journey has been a thrilling ride, and I'm excited to explore new opportunities and push boundaries. I'm grateful to my lecturers for their guidance and encouragement. Their impact extends far beyond academics, and I'm proud to be their alumnus. I hope my story inspires current students to value ethics, take initiative, and pursue their goals with confidence.
"Aurora PG College laid a strong foundation not only for my professional growth but also for my ethical and entrepreneurial mindset."
Akul Reddy
My name is Akul Reddy, an alumnus of Aurora’s PG College (MCA), Hyderabad. Aurora is a place that quietly shaped who I would become. Those college years didn’t just give me a degree—they gave me confidence. Aurora helped me build my character, taught me how to think independently, and pushed me to believe that building a business was not just a dream but something achievable with discipline and courage. The environment, experiences, and challenges during those days laid the foundation for my mindset as an entrepreneur and as a professional. Today, along with running small businesses, I work at JPMorgan Chase as a Team Lead, balancing responsibility, leadership, and growth. Yet one thing I never let go of was my passion for making video content, a journey that began during my college days at Aurora. It was there I learned the most important lesson of all—how to manage passion and profession together. That balance continues to define my path, allowing me to grow in my career while staying true to the creative spark that has always driven me forward.
