Alumni Testimonials
Rajeev Suri
1985-1989 E&C Engg.
MIT, Manipal
I left Manipal about 30 years ago with a world-class education, great memories,
and, what I consider most valuable of all, a lifelong love of learning. Today,
we stand at the beginning of a new era of technology-driven change, when
connectivity and intelligence will transform our lives for the better. Manipal
has the important role of giving today's students the capabilities they will
need to thrive in tomorrow's world. I hope it.

Mr. Manish Sodhi
1994-1997 BHM
WGSHA, Manipal
Great Institutions are known to mould and mentor talent and the Welcomgroup
School of Hotel Administration is probably the finest in creating Hospitality
Leaders. In my journey from a Food & Beverage Superior till a Hospitality
Division CEO, WGSHA has surely provided me with the knowledge and skill sets to
succeed in every experience through life.
It was at WGSHA where I learnt that no task was too small, whether it was
working in Kitchen Stewarding with a Motto, “No Dish Left Behind” or in the
Kitchen where we learnt to create the gastronomical experiences.
WGSHA is also the place where I fostered friendships of a lifetime and these
bonds will continue to grow stronger with time.
Manipal and WGSHA as a whole didn’t just provide us with world class education
but also exposed us to handle life beyond the realms of family and guardians.
Post WSGHA I did continue to pursue my education and completed another Bachelors
in Hospitality from Southern New Hampshire University, NH and Masters in
Business Administration from Johnson & Wales University, RI, USA.
The strong work ethics induced during my grooming at WGSHA helped me accomplish
and achieve milestone after milestone in my professional life with leading
Hospitality Chains including Starwood Hotels & Resorts, The Leela Hotels and
Palaces, The Lalit Hotels and Palaces and leading up to my current Chief
Executive Officer position with Sahara Hospitality, Mumbai.
Throughout my professional journey I have always focused on the well being of my
team with a firm belief of “Handling Little Things, as Big Things Fall into
place if little things are well looked after”

Dr. Manish Juneja
BDS- 1997-2002, MDS- 2003- 2005
MCODS, Mangalore
My dental school experience at MCODS Mangalore gave me a very strong foundation
that has enabled my further progress in the field of dentistry.
The standard and style of teaching and learning gently honed my interest and
skill. It also inculcated in me a scientific temper and rationale that forms the
basis of sound clinical judgement and effective treatment.
I am indeed privileged to be an alumnus of this great dental teaching institute.
The strong foundation in dentistry that MCODS Mangalore, helped me excel in my
professional career and even after a long gap from studies I was still able to
secure a place in the advanced standing program for internationally trained
Dentists at Boston University, giving me a full license to practice dentistry in
the states. I also served as a representative for International dentist at the
American Student Dental Association during my studies at Boston University.

Although it’s been nearly 15 years since I left the portals of MCODS Mangalore
after completing my graduate and post-graduate studies there, believe me when I
say that there’s barely a day that passes without a fond memory of a teacher or
my recollecting the way they taught a particular topic/subject.

Dr. Kiran Challagundla
1997-2002, Bachelor of Physiotheraphy
MCHP, Manipal
"India is very fortunate to have a university like “Manipal University” which
provides uncompromised education with international standards. Being a
Physiotherapy student from MCOAHS helped me get top priority in securing
admission in higher studies throughout the globe. The education curriculum of
Physiotherapy courses in MCOAHS is well designed so that I could easily catch-up
with western students during my higher studies in one of the best universities
in Physiotherapy, but also achieve distinctions in majority of the subjects in
my higher studies.

Being an alumnus of Manipal University helped me get best jobs with ease than
other competent during my working career. Studying in Manipal University is a
once in a life time experience in my life. Without any reservations, I’d advice
all parents to seriously encourage their children to pursue their academic
studies in Manipal University (especially in MCOAHS) which would not only make
them gain maximum knowledge in their academics, but also make them better
persons and better citizen of the country."

Dr Sampat Shivangi
1960-66 MBBS
KMC, Mangalore
“Early memories of Manipal, a mountainous, misty village on the hillocks of
Manipal peninsula, a eye catching Arabian sea at a distance and suddenly a
modern architectural marvels on the hills of Manipal would be appropriate
impressions of today's Manipal.
Manipal, physically, philosophically a place close to my heart and mind, where I
began early years of learning medicine, and nurtured my way of life.
It was Manipal of yester years in sixties, a rural backdrop without the hustle
and bustle of today's metropolitan Manipal that I experienced early this year.
Now a city of Magnificent institutions, creations of drive, enthusiasm and
vision of Pais who created these wonderful institutions of wisdom.
I recall our past President Abul Kalam describing Manipal is like a Nalanda of
yore. A center of Global excellence in the field of Medicine and engineering
Yester years at Kasturba, were greatest years of my life that, not only gave me
a courage, sense of camaraderie, sense of service and dignity for human life.
Manipal not only gave me the education but gave me the lessons in the cause of
humanity and humility. Manipal is and will be a center of creative art,
Medicine, science and culture.
Manipal is Nation's foremost institution of learning of this century. It has
achieved universal recognition. Thanks to the dreamer, greatest educationist,
founder, philosopher visionary of our times Dr. TMA Pai and his illustrious son
my friend Dr. Ramdas Pai who built a world around Manipal.
Well, I am fortunate to be the product of such a great institution on earth,
called Manipal. Thank you Manipal, making me who I am in this small world of my
own.
May the light of knowledge from Manipal shine over the rest of the world”.

Chef . Vikas Khanna
1991-94 BHM,
WGSHA, Manipal
“Manipal is a cradle of information, knowledge and a seed of opportunity. It
gives us tools to learn, grow and understand the transition of living in homes
to surviving in the world. For me it was the first time leaving home like most
of us, but it was a step into the unknown and getting prepared to take my skill
to the world. It was a foundation of my dream.
I have seen the metamorphosis of humble city of Manipal into an epic educational
hub under the vision of Pai family. Nestled in the middle of history and future,
Manipal offers unique ideas for personal, social and global development”.

Dr Sanchit Paul
2010-13, MDS-Pedodontics
MCODS, Mangalore
My Journey from “Manipal” to “Maple” land.........
They say “good student make good institutions” but I say the vice versa is all
the more true. It is institutes like Manipal University that instil the zeal and
passion for the subject in a student. With good infrastructure and amazing
faculty, it provides the perfect stimulating environment which sows the seeds
for lifelong learning and a strive for excellence.
With the similar virtues, I started my professional journey as an exclusive
pediatric dentist working in a myriad of corporate chains in and around Delhi.
With strong academic background, I balanced my clinical expertise with constant
research and as an educator to keep the learning flame up and high. But sense of
entrepreneurship and endeavor to perfection led me to opening of my own
specialty centre for children and adolescents in Greater Noida providing the
speciality care in most child friendly environment. After a couple of years of
dedication to my centre, I was chosen for the internationally reputed pediatric
dentistry fellowship, which is one of a kind in North America, at SickKids
Hospital in Toronto, Canada. It was a unique opportunity to showcase my skills
internationally and to learn and imbibe further expertise and knowledge in most
medically complex population.
This fellowship has an exceptional amalgamation of all the spheres of pediatric
dentistry. It provides me with abundant clinical experience, comprehensive
operating room exposure (dental GA), remarkable research project, practice and
knowledge of inhalational and deep sedation dentistry and emergency on-call
responsibilities. The greatest challenge is to perform all of the above in
medically complex population and children with special needs, which are the only
children we treat, hence the name SickKids or The Hospital for Sick Children. To
surmount it, I also got the exclusive training in NAM (naso-alveolar Moulding) ,
a pre-surgical infant Orthopaedic modality for cleft babies from the very
reputed New York University Langone Centre, by the brain and pioneer of the
same, Dr. Grayson. Subsequently, I have been a part of the “craniofacial team”
that provides multidisciplinary care to cleft children. I am also the principal
investigator in a ten year retrospective analysis of odontogenic facial
cellulitis. I also had the opportunity to attend international conferences like
AAPD and CAPD as a post doctoral member. It provided me the chance to interact
with fellow specialists and to look more
closely how the contemporaries work globally.
The journey so far has been extremely satisfying in terms of professional
satisfaction, gain of knowledge and honing of my skills. This international
exposure has endowed me with further proficiency, dexterity and comprehension of
my specialty.
Nevertheless, the zeal to keep pushing the envelope and keep carving the niche
always remain high. Let the journey be never ending.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar
1983-86 Electrical Engg.
MIT, Manipal
Manipal laid the building blocks of what I was to be in the future. At a
personal level, it toughened me, taught me independence and transformed me to
live independently. As a student, the computer programming coding bug bit me in
Manipal albeit on a 16-bit micro-computer called DCM Spectrum 7. But that bug is
what transformed me into a prolific coder and then later design engineer in CPU
Architect at Intel.

1988-92 E&C Engg.
MIT, Manipal
Energy, Excitement, and youth resonate within me when I think of Manipal.
Manipal evokes those years of being carefree, free thought, lasting friendships,
infectious enthusiasm, and boundaryless thinking! The future of Manipal lies in
the hands of its many stakeholders. I see Manipal building on its ethos of
providing learning opportunities that impact lives.

Rujan Panjwani
1981-85 E&E Engg,
MIT, Manipal
Manipal means a lot to me.
“It represents one of the best phases of my life. A phase characterized by a new
found independence, life learnings that go way beyond classroom and textbook,
forging deep relationships with a diverse set of people from all over the
country  and above all ………………growing up.
From a college to an independent university, the journey of Manipal has been
excellent. I can only see further successes and accomplishments in the arena of
higher education”.

Dr. Saloni Krishnan
2004-08 – BASLP
MCHP, Manipal
Hi, I’m Dr Saloni Krishnan. I’m a cognitive neuroscientist and an academic at
Royal Holloway, University of London. My research focuses on the brain basis of
developmental speech and language disorders. In terms of my training, I did a
PhD at Birkbeck, University of London, my MSc at UCL, and my undergraduate
degree at Manipal. I picked Manipal for my undergraduate degree because of its
outstanding medical school and beautiful setting. Even though I wasn’t training
to be a doctor, as a speech and language therapist, I knew the clinical setting
would be invaluable. Indeed, my clinical training was diverse and intensive; I
had a chance to work with adults with brain lesions, children with communication
disorders like autism and dyslexia, people who stammered, singers with voice
issues - I could go on. I counted up my clinical hours at some point, and I
spent over 2000 hours in clinics as a student. I know this clinical experience
has stood me in great stead through my academic career –I have drawn on as a
basis for my research questions. I’d definitely recommend Manipal as a place to
study.

Dr. Saumy Johnson
B.Sc., M.Sc. RT and PhD RC candidate Since Batch 1999
MCHP, Manipal
“I have great pleasure to give this feedback about Manipal Academy of Higher
Education where my college education and my early years of career was spent.
MAHE was a perfect combination of university and hospital environment where I
learned most of my lessons both in my professional life and personal life.
Allied Health Sciences college and Department of Respiratory Therapy is close to
my heart as I was a student and faculty for many years there. Parrlon and Utsav
always made our life colorful. Not to forget the Faculty cultural program son
the Annual Day. Manipal is a happening place. Truly inspired by life.
I was fortunate to be the first MSc Respiratory Therapy student and first PhD
Respiratory Care candidate of MAHE and India as well when we take the RT
profession in to consideration. Life has to go on and we are what we learned
during our early years of life. I owe my success and happiness to god almighty
and my teachers and well-wishers at MAHE. Thank you.”

Mr. Praveen P
2016 -18 - MBA
MIM, Manipal
"It's a popular question once you just step out of college. 'How was your MBA?'
I often reply by saying that the 2-year journey went real quick, at least to
begin my answer. Joined SOM in the year 2016 with a dilemma but with the hope of
gathering the necessities to build a career. Came in with the mindset that this
will be just another step higher than your graduation. But the lessons learned
during these two years were beyond my expectations. It was more of an all-round
development, a life lesson. Apart from attaining the subject specialization, the
curriculum helped me instill confidence and look at my career from a different
perspective, to identify what suits me. Thank all my faculty members, staffs and
friends for all the support. Moreover, an awesome place to be at, love Manipal!"

1986-90 E&C Engg,
MIT, Manipal
“Manipal has the Ethos carefully nurtured by its Founding fathers and its
Teachers to transform fledgling students into talented, confident professionals
with skills to excel as good human beings.
We learnt Life lessons from the multi cultural diaspora of students pouring from
every region of India and made everlasting friendships. The idealic location of
this university town, with its progressive and gentle local population, in the
cradel of Nature's bounty of pristine mountains, sea and evergreen landscape
makes Manipal one of the Best centers for learning in the country and it fully
deserves "Institute of eminence" status granted by the Govt of India. I am sure,
Manipal will realize its dream destiny of being amongst the 200 world
universities in the near future”.
Proud of you Manipal.
