Tell us about your educational and/or career journey since you graduated from Brunel?
After graduating from Brunel, I have been through multiple interviews with electrical and power related companies.

I almost reached the end stage with every company and finally got placed.
What does a typical day at work involve for you?
A typical day at work involves assessing the different transmission networks all over the UK and providing solutions on any outage planning, and also to study the possibilities to pull in more carbon free energy into the network.
What’s been the highlight of your career journey so far?
My career has been nourished in different profiles in these 10 years (in India and the UK) and have worked very closely with customers in all these years. The different profiles I have worked in include product management, technical sales, business development, solutions engineering and now power systems engineering.
