Our alumnus, Mr. Nikesh Arora (Electrical 1989), President, Global Sales Operations and Business Development, Google, visited IT-BHU campus during BHU International Alumni Meet, where he was awarded with BHU’s Distinguished Alumnus Award. He interacted with faculty and students on the institute’s campus. He also gave an upbeat talk to students and answered questions from students at G-11 on 24th December.
Prof. S. N. Mahendra, Head of Department, Electrical Engineering, welcomed Mr. Nikesh Arora and his family. Mr. Arora asked students to throw any questions rather than giving a conventional PowerPoint presentation. Students who turned up in large numbers at the G-11 hall for the talk, asked a lot of questions related to his life, Google and its products, and Mr. Arora answered all of them in his one and a half hour talk. Madhavan, a 3rd year student of Applied Mathematics, told Chronicle team that, “It was an amazing experience and best part of the talk was the advice he gave while answering each question. It was a motivating experience for me.” Mohit Bansal, a final year student of IDD course, Computer Science, told us that, “Being from computer engineering, I was eagerly waiting for the talk and thoroughly enjoyed the lecture as we get to know what we wanted to know from Mr. Nikesh”.
Mr. Arora urged students to work for the betterment of the institute and even made a team of students to renovate institute’s website under the guidance of Prof. Mahendra.
Prof. Mahendra thanked Mr. Nikesh Arora and the campus saw him off, eagerly awaiting his next visit.
