What Our Students Say
My College Journey - A Chapter of Growth, Learning & Gratitude
Now that I look back on my past, the most meaningful chapters of my life were at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune–Lavasa. I look back with immense gratitude, pride, and a sense of fulfilment. My journey at the School of Commerce, Finance and Accountancy has been much more than earning a degree. It has been a journey of discovering my strengths, challenging my limitations, learning from experiences, and becoming more confident in the person and professional I aspire to be.
Beyond academics, the university gave me opportunities to collaborate with people from different backgrounds, take responsibility, step outside my comfort zone, and learn from both successes and setbacks. These experiences have shaped my perspective and taught me that true growth happens when we remain curious, open to learning, and willing to embrace challenges. I will always be grateful to the faculty members, mentors, friends, classmates, and everyone who contributed to this journey. As I move forward, I carry with me more than a degree. I carry knowledge gained, lessons learned, relationships built, memories cherished, and dreams waiting to be pursued. Christ University gave me a foundation. My experiences gave me perspective. Forever grateful for the journey, the people, and the opportunities that made these years truly unforgettable. Here's to new beginnings, continuous learning, and everything that lies ahead.
I owe a large part of my professional success at Deloitte to the strong foundation built during my time in the Department of Commerce at Christ University, Lavasa. A heartfelt thank you to our HoD for fostering an enriching academic environment, and the Dept. Placement Coordinator and Alumni Coordinator for bridging the gap between campus learning and industry opportunities. I am immensely grateful to all the faculty members whose constant support and guidance paved the way for my career. I am truly proud to carry forward the learnings and values instilled by this department.

My department and faculty members have played a huge role in shaping me, not just academically but also personally. Their guidance, support and constant encouragement helped me grow with confidence. Apart from academics, one of the most beautiful parts of my journey has been the friendships I made along the way.
