Being the Director of Subhash Institute of Technology, what is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style? 

I believe that true leadership involves inspiring and empowering others to reach their full potential, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, and leading by example with integrity and humility. I believe unless and until you set examples to the team you are handling they will be unable to work in a dedicated way to achieve success or organizational goals. 

Leadership is nothing but teamwork it's like playing football when you are a captain you have to lead a team of 16 players. When you are a player you have to perform and set examples for the team members so it is the result of work done by all your teammates.

What do you think your roles and responsibilities to the College and the students are? 

As a Founder of this esteemed College, I have a lot of roles, I am taking care of administrative jobs starting from admissions to maintaining discipline, tracking curriculum completion, maintaining good relationships between HOD and teachers, and students, and taking care of the financial aspects of the college. Taking care of the placement part as well as following the instructions from the University. I am also the NAAC Coordinator and Placement in-charge for the College. In addition to this, I work on innovative ideas that will help the students in coping up with the outside environment. My responsibility also extends to the safety of the students and maintaining discipline on the college campus. 

What do you see as Khandoli Institute of Technology’s greatest strength? 

The greatest strength of the College is the team members who are there in the college, are working with full dedication to achieve the desired goal of the college. These team members include the faculties non-teaching staff and the complete team of the trust which are working day by day to improve the quality of education we are providing, last but not the students are also the major strength of the college as they represent the college in the outside environment.
