OU Memories:
What are the best moments that you can recall at OUCE? One of the best moments was entering the imposing college. It was a dream come true since I always wanted to be an engineer though my Dad wanted me to be a lawyer. It was a great feeling when I graduated in 1975.
What are the most valuable“ lessons for life” that OUCE taught you? OUCE has taught each and every one many lessons that made them today reach dizzy heights in their respective careers. And one such thing for me is that, it has given me a wonderful platform from where my dream of becoming an Entrepreneur became true. Studying Engineering in Osmania was like a feather in my cap which gave me confidence to start a small scale industry instead of taking up a regular job.
Can you recall any funny moments that you can share with us at OUCE? There were many funny incidents and we still cherish those memories when we all end up meeting at places. We had all the fun since we had a group of 20 plus close friends from school days studying together and being a " Jai Telangana Batch ". Most of the time no one dared to rag any one of us.
If you had a chance to go back to college again now, what is it that you would like to see again in the college? I would like to see all my friends, classmates and would definitely love to hangout with them in the college like we used to do and relive those memories forever. I would also like to see my Professors who taught us great lessons for life and it is because of them, who we are today.
How do you think OUCE has emerged as an institution in 21st century? Osmania University has adapted well to changing times, it has introduced new subjects like IT & Computer engineering along with basic engineering sciences. It is encouraging many students to take up courses related to their level of interests. It is heartening to see that more and more girl students have also chosen OUCE for studying engineering sciences.
Professor who created everlasting impression Professors Sri. K. N Rao, Sri. Subba Rao and Sri. Shamraj have been the most impactful. I am very grateful to all the professors who moulded me and made me the person that I am today.
Favorite hangout spot in OUCE I feel very nostalgic about every bit and corner of OUCE but Daya Canteen is the place where all of us used to hang out the most.
Your best buddies in the college days Well, I had a small group of friends, sharing similar views. We are still in touch and never miss to cherish our college memories whenever we get together. My best buddies are Late. Iqbal Hussain, Suresh Naguri and Shahid Muneer.
Your favorite subject in 4 years Thermodynamics has been my all time favourite subject.
Career Aspects:
Can you explain us your career progression after you stepped out of OUCE? Immediately after graduation, I worked in Khandsari Sugar Mill for 6-months. Then I decided to set up a small packing unit called M / S. Uneek Cartons under the " Self Employment Technocrat Scheme " in 1976. In 1978-79, a friend of mine and I took over a company manufacturing Metallic Tubes and Ducts which is now known as M / S. Helical Tubes and Ducts Pvt. Ltd. Later, we also took over a Leasing and Financing company.
I have always had the endeavour towards export business as India requires more
