asked us to fix the dates for exams which were common for private colleges as well . Hence , all the private colleges students used to come to us , requesting for their convenient dates . As OUCE union President I was not only representing OUCE but also other engineering colleges . In the whole process , I got good exposure which I never had before .
Life after stepping out of Osmania : Subsequently , I prepared for GRE and GMAT . During our times , half the students went to USA for Studies . One fourth stayed back . I went to USA as mechanical engineering student , then realized the future potential and changed to computer science course . I did my Masters in 1982-84 at CT university of New York . Very few universities in USA used to recognize Osmania University . I came back to India after my education .
I went to USA for studies and came back . I joined my father ’ s profession in a consultancy firm where my father was working , after his retirement from APSEB . The consultancy company was based out of Delhi , but I used to work in its Hyderabad branch office . I used to take care of business from power plants in Kothagudem , Vijaywada and Ramagundam . After working for 10 years , I shifted to LANCO , where we established power division in 1995 . In 2006 , I started my entrepreneurial journey with MALAXMI Group and established many projects along with partners . Malaxmi Group is now into Power , Agriculture , Infrastructure and Construction . We are also starting venturing into real estate projects now . I started as an employee and slowly turned into an entrepreneur . Now Malaxmi has its offices in Hyderabad , Vijayawada , Delhi and Uganda . We are in the process of establishing a Singapore based Holding Company .
Contributions to Society : I started the Culture Center of Vijaywada & Amaravathi , basically to take active part in Art , Culture and Literature . We have incorporated Malaxmi Foundation , as a CSR venture , which caters to Education , Sports & Games . We also provide scholarship for bright students and organize lectures at Institute of Engineers every year in the name of my father ( Mr . Ramulu ) and we also sponsor Sportsmen in various games and tournaments . Being passionate for education , I personally give lectures in 10 to 15 Engineering Colleges every year to educate and motivate teachers and students . I do come regularly to our department at OUCE and talk to the students .
I also worked as Chairman of the Confederation of the Indian Industries , for its Andhra Pradesh Chapter . I was advisory Board Member for many Engineering Colleges and was also on the board of State Bank School . I was Founder Member of 10 K run Foundation , Hyderabad .
I imbibed all these leadership qualities and speaking abilities at OUCE .
