Hi Welcome to the Prashant R. Kuranjekar's website (onedayiwill.info). Well first of all, I would like to introduce myself with the academic background. I have done schooling from Kendriya vidyalaya Jawaharnagar Bhandara, and did engineering from GCOEP (Government college of Engineering, Pune). I worked for 2 years in India as design engineer. I have finished MS(Master of science) from Germany in 2006. In the mid 2006, I have got the assistantship from NASA funded projects to pursue MS from University of California, Irvine and was working on NASA funded project from august 2006 onwards. I am working in T.Y.Lin International in Tampa, Florida and simultaneously pursuing Part-time MBA from University of south Florida.

My interest in MBA program dates back to my school days when I was class captain and class representative for the group of students and managed other activities as a group leader. During higher school, I was managing different activities for the group. Soon thereafter, getting knowledge of management components & problem-solving approach for the different group of people started as a hobby.

At BTU, I have been involved in the Annual cultural Fest as Head of the organizer. I have also taken active part in dramatics and made my contribution to the STURA (Student Parliament) at BTU, as its member and later as the Vice President. I continue to be a member of the Help age Society for poor people, which provides palliative care and excellent education to them. In the year 2006, I was admitted as a MS candidate in University of California, Irvine, USA through the assistantship from the NASA Project.

As a graduate student in the CHRS (Centre of Hydrometeorology and remote sensing), the responsibilities in academic and consulting firm includes design of Water Distribution System, Storm Water drainage system, Sewerage system, Plumbing, Hydraulic design, Feasibility studies, EIA, Watershed processes and calibration , uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in hydrologic models, application of GIS in watershed modeling and analysis. I have a strong background in computer (technical/non technical software) skills. As my resume demonstrates, I have consistently taken the initiative to enhance my skills in the water resources arena, mainly focusing on GIS analysis, Hydrology & hydraulic design and simulations.

I have 6 years of work experience which helps me tremendously in acquiring in depth knowledge of the technical perspective. Throughout my school education, simple attitude, punctuality, hard work, good analyzing power and sincerity are the qualities that helped me face challenges life offered so far. Strong quantitative skills, familiarity with computer applications and experience gained while working on various school projects have helped me to develop sharp analytical abilities and have given me the confidence to tackle advanced problems on a macro level. In addition, the experience gained over 5 years, have developed good interpersonal and communication skills. I look forward to applying these abilities to the immense opportunities available at USF in MBA program.

The aim of my life is to help others from the latest knowledge and practical experience which I have achieved throughout my career. I have started my own charity foundation. "I HAVE A DREAM GOAL charity foundation" works for Street and orphan kids. I raise the funds for their education. I am also working for UNICEF as a fund raising volunteer. To achieve my career goals, I need to learn much more about current developments and techniques in Entrepreneurship, International business, advanced marketing strategy to promote the products through internet with reasonable methods, Economics analysis and some financial aspects and its applications in real world and acquire hands-on experience on supply chain management skills. A Master's Degree will provide me with theoretical understanding, an in depth idea of practical approaches in aiding managerial decision making skills to enable me to develop an expertise in the above mentioned core areas.

However, just from simple observation, I have discovered that an MBA provides a distinct advantage over those without. There is an analytical nature inherent to MBA's which I believe is duplicable only by committing 2-3 years to the academic study of business. I think anyone in my shoes would feel the same. I have selected the M.B.A. program of USF because of its outstanding faculty and research facilities, emphasis on a collaborative learning environment, flexibility in curriculum and a global perspective to various key issues. This university department and reputed faculty members will definitely give me an opportunity to excel in my study. I believe that these will enable me to achieve my career aims in the years to come. I am determined to make a substantial contribution in my chosen field in the next few years and believe that the guidance and facilities provided by your university will further motivate me to fulfill my resolve. To work in a creative and challenging environment using cutting edge technologies where I could constantly learn and successfully deliver solutions to problems which will be possible by good management skills in order to develop my career as a Manager & Leader, where I will be a valuable team member, contributing quality ideas and work for an organization where there is an ample scope for individual as well as organization growth.

So practice, practice and practice before stepping onto the field is the main principle of successful leader. I guess they meant prepare before embarking upon the real thing. I believe that every person is a champion in some or other field and his ultimate goal in life is to find which it is. The years of education determined to maintain the high levels of excellence throughout my career. One look at my resume will reveal that I am serious student throughout my academic career. My quest is incomplete and I deserve a place to work on the opportunity. I am confident that I will match the high standards set by any organization. I hope to become a part of the dynamic culture of any organization, which will give me a leading edge to work effectively in diverse teams and situations. Last but not the least, I have intellect and zeal to offer you, together with a strong desire to excel in the chosen field.

These are the phrases I really believe in, which are as follows:

1. I always believe that "Failure is not an option" and "Success is not how much money you made for yourself. It is how many people you helped to become successful. Those of us who are on top [have] the responsibility to help those at the bottom because someday we might find ourselves at the bottom." Real charity doesn't care if it's tax-deductible or not.Philip Emeagwali
2. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
3. I would like to be a part of bigger then myself. I would like to be a part of change.
4. People should know you rather than u know the people.
5. I will not say I failed 1000 times , I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure ... Thomas Edison
6. Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working
7. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the oportunity in every difficulty.
8. Everyone say 'never expect anythng in return from anyone'. But the truth is when we really love someone,we naturally expect a little care.
9. It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
10. Try and fail, but don't fail to try.
11. Giving up doesn't always means u r weak ; some time it means u r strong enough to let it go:)
12. I am not handsome But I can give my HAND to SOME who needs help.Beauty is in Heart, Not on the face.
13. Leave something for someone never leave someone for something because in life something may leave you but someone will always live with you.

These are the articles where I have learned some lessons from the courage of these people.

These are the memorable gifts I have recieved from Late Professor Thomas Keagy.

I always cherish my achievements and enjoy them each and every moment of my life.
