It was such a rewarding doctoral learning experience where I had opportunities to delve deeply into the research area of my interest while sharpening my various skills and competencies. Online learning enabled me to stay committed to learning while accommodating work demands simultaneously as a busy professional.The academic support was simply excellent and superb. I received exceptional support and care from brilliant academic associates, including Dr. Sree Lakshmi and Dr. Suja Warrier, who offered clear and comprehensive guidelines throughout the learning journey.

The non-academic support from Ms. Vandana and her team was swift and adequate. This year, 2023, was devoted to conducting doctoral research, and it was a challenging yet satisfying learning journey.

My deep respect and gratitude go to Dr. Suja Warrier, whose supervision and guidance helped me trek the right and balanced path of exploring knowledge frontiers through applied research. The process of undertaking doctoral research was challenging and exciting. With perseverance and the great support of both my supervisors and friends and family, I was able to conquer the challenge.

My appreciation also goes to the research administration and student support team, who helped to facilitate several doctoral committee meetings, supervisory meetings, doctoral seminars, and events.
