Hindaun City, Rajasthan

Aman Agrawal

I started by taking machines apart to see how they worked. I ended up changing how enterprises run.

Chapter 01 · Curiosity

The boy who opened things

In a small town in Rajasthan, everyday machines felt like locked boxes. Motors, radios, anything with moving parts — I opened every one I could, just to understand how it worked.

That fascination pointed me at one goal early: to become a mechanical engineer.

Curiosity was the first tool I ever owned.
Chapter 02 · 2015 · Kota

A gap year. A new city. Long days at Allen preparing for the JEE. Living away from home for the first time taught me discipline, resilience, and the quiet power of showing up every single day.

Qualified JEE Advanced
Consistency, I learned, compounds.

Mechanical Engineering at SMVDU, in the mountains near Katra. Beyond the syllabus I organised technical and cultural fests, led NSS drives, and coordinated social initiatives — learning that engineering is also about people.

Chapter 04 · Shop floor · Alwar

Where theory met steel

On the bus-chassis assembly line at Ashok Leyland, textbook diagrams turned into torque, tolerance, and real metal. Standing on the shop floor is where classroom concepts finally became understanding.

You don't truly know a machine until you've stood beside one being built.
Chapter 05 · 2020 · A pause

A degree, and a question

I finished my B.Tech in the middle of the pandemic and cleared GATE. The path to a master's in engineering opened — but I wasn't yet certain it was mine. So I chose to explore the industry instead.

Not every open door is the right one.
Chapter 06 · May 2021 · Infosys

I joined Infosys as a Systems Engineer in SAP Business Intelligence. Mission-critical pipelines, enterprise reporting, unforgiving service standards. My curiosity had simply found a new medium.

The engineering mindset travels well — it just changes materials.
Foundations · Infosys
  • Trained in SAP BI, Java and Python
Chapter 07 · 2023–2025 · Turning point

Clearing CAT took me to IIM Sambalpur — an MBA in Operations with a minor in Strategy. In the IT & Analytics club, engineering discipline met business thinking, and something clicked.

At GA Infra I put it to work: cutting Non-Revenue Water by modelling data and building the dashboards to act on it.

Chapter 08 · 2025 → Now · Tata Power

Today, as Assistant Manager at Tata Power Delhi Distribution, I work where technology, strategy and business excellence meet — IT strategy, digital-transformation governance, and the CXO dashboards that guide decisions.

The through-line

Engineering discipline.
Business strategy.
Technology.

I believe the best solutions live where these three meet. That belief keeps me building — through data, deliberate decisions, and the habit of learning that started with a screwdriver in a small town.
