Leaving India to study at Sydney
Meet Kalee Kapoor, a recent Master of Management graduate
Kalee is a recent graduate who came to the Business School from Gurgaon India, to pursue a career in management. Learn how a driven mind and a newly found passion for digital innovation landed her a job at Meltwater.
The University of Sydney Business School was always Kalee’s first choice for postgraduate study. She was drawn by the practical application and global business focus of the Master of Management. The degree's consistent top rankings also helped her make her decision.
Kalee is a driven person, motivated by contributing to society, meeting new people and having the opportunity to solve complex problems.
Coming from a not-for-profit management and social impact background, Kalee wanted to return to the sector after graduating. But studying broadened Kalee's horizons. "A whole new world of opportunities opened up for me," Kalee says.
"I did well in the Managing Digital Innovation unit and was intrigued by technological advancements, inspiring me to take on a role at an artificial intelligence firm."
Today, Kalee works as a Consultant at Meltwater in their global office in India and reflects back on her time at University. "I enjoyed every minute," Kalee says. "I met so many people who have turned into friends and teachers who have become mentors."
My most memorable experiences at University would be starting the South Asian Business Society and delivering the keynote at the Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations conference.
