After a stellar performance in the Pre-Degree Exam and the Engg Entrance Test which followed , I got admission to B.Tech in Electrical Engg . Upon completion of B.Tech I was absorbed by ALIND , the then largest Manufacturer of AAC/ACSR/ AAAC Conductors, Relays , SF6 Circuit Breakers , CTs, etc. From there I moved to Godrej -GE a joint venture between Godrej & Boyce and GE of the US.
