I am Ravi Kiran, a graduate from Pilani Campus with B.E (Hons.) in Computer Science. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer in Google, Mountain View, California. I wish to be able to add something to this already well established search giant. I'm very glad to receive the BITSAA scholarship. It always gives great honor to be recognized and rewarded for one's efforts. I was financially helped all through college by my brother. Apart from that, I have been a Merit-cum-need recipient since my first semester in college, which is probably the major reason that has made things easy for my education at BITS. However, I wish to add that this scholarship feels more special to me than any of them, as it has higher merit criteria and is awarded to only a chosen few. I think scholarships like these, are a very good initiative, which not only encourage a student to perform better, but in the process also recognize his/her efforts and reward him/her. I wish to take this chance to thank the Donor, BITSAA and everyone else responsible for granting me this scholarship. I am clearly indebted to my friends, family, and other well-wishers for their constant support and unparalleled belief in me.
