‘At Apeejay, my confidence soared high’ 

Sneha Swapnil is a Senior Analyst at American Express in Gurgaon. An alumna of Apeejay School of Management (ASM), Sneha pursued her Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing and Operation. 

Narrating about her professional life in a quick chat, she mentions how the faculty in the Delhi-based MBA college played a huge role in shaping up her confidence. Read edited excerpts: 

How does a regular day at work look like?

It is quite busy! I work from 8:30 am to 5 pm. My office functions in the hybrid mode, which saves me the daily travel exhaustion. I work in the KYC department and I check all the KYC documents of the clients who have our credit card. The work is not that stressful and I enjoy it a lot.

Throwback to the time at ASM! Any special takeaways

I improved in many mental and emotional skills and also enhanced my communication skills. I have given many presentations, explained business models at ASM as part of the curriculum and thereby, I gained my confidence immensely and it was a great experience.

And did ASM guide you well in the placements?

I got placed from the campus itself. And yes, I was trained very well by my mentors and teachers, be it for the group discussion or interviews or resume writing, I was taught everything perfectly!

But how did the teachers help you?

They were all so helpful. Monika ma’am was my mentor in the first year  while I was under Ruchi ma’am in my final year. They helped me a lot and I am what I am today partly because of their learnings.

And did you enjoy the extra-curriculars at ASM?

I am a trained classical dancer. I got to perform 3-4 times at freshers, farewell and other events at the college and that platform was so great! It meant so much. 

Next targets in your career?

I got promoted to a senior analyst a month ago. I am on maternity leave currently and  will join soon in a month and then in two years time I look forward to achieving the manager position.
