Eye opener

"In college I decided to major in industrial engineering and management based on my broad interests. Yet three years and one diploma down the road, I wanted more depth. To really understand where a given formula or method comes from, I began a masters in mathematics. During a lecture on healthcare logistics that dealt with operating room planning, I became fascinated with the complexity of healthcare. I also realized that my technical and management skills could be put to valuable use in this field. For me, that moment was a real eye opener."

Constantly learning

"At Gupta, I make daily use of the theoretical knowledge I acquired in school. In addition, I am constantly learning new things from my colleagues. Where the one helped me construct a model, the other helped familiarize me with the wonderful world of healthcare registration codes. The feeling that I am not only able to make a direct contribution, but am also continuing to learn in the process makes me really enjoy what I do."
