About Achyuth Sankar

Short Version: • Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) student at MDI Gurgaon (Batch of 2020-22), majoring in Marketing • Engineer who used to work on Tableau dashboards (for 23 months) • Made two short films, two ad films, wrote two feature film scripts • Taught Maths and English to kids • Ex-blogger • Idealistic, and a believer of treating people right • Lover of video games and Harleys Long Version: I’m an Engineering graduate in Computer Science from NMIMS University, Mumbai (batch of 2012-16). While there, I served as a Content Manager for the Editorial Board for two years. In addition to writing and editing submissions to the college magazine, I served as part of the organizing committee for the annual inter-college Crossfire Debate. Following my passion for cinema, I co-founded the film club under the aegis of the Editorial Board, and in addition to organizing screenings and workshops, I successfully organized the inter college Short Film Making contest for the annual college festival, Sattva. During my time in college, I was selected as 1 of 10 students to intern at Mphasis Next Labs, post a national selection process, and eventually received a PPO. Following my graduation, I joined ZS Associates, as a Business Technology Analyst, where my main focus was on the end-to-end development of dashboards using Tableau for a leading multinational Pharma company. While there, I mentored new recruits, and also worked with client offices in multiple countries. My work also involved taking already developed dashboards and retrofitting them to reflect newly evolved design and reporting standards, augmenting my ability to understand systems that are already in place and handle alterations in a timely and efficient manner without the need for ground-up redevelopment. My passion for films has led me to co-write and co-direct two short films, and two online ad films for a Mumbai-based real estate start up. I’ve also co-written two feature-length film scripts. Teaching is also something I enjoy, having taught remedial Maths and English classes for 4th graders at a nearby school during my high school days. I’m also passionate about video games and Harleys. With industrial exposure of 23 months, I’m currently pursuing my Post Graduation in Management from MDI Gurgaon. I interned at ICICI Bank, where I worked on developing a new online treasury management module for CFOs. I received a PPO upon completion of the internship. I also spent one term in Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany, on student exchange.
