KIFAYATULLAH PALLA
Mahindra Pride School, Srinagar Alumni currently serving as Senior Captain of Staff, Angara Restaurant, Hyderabad, Telengana.
I hail from Bugam village of Kulgam district in
Kashmir. My father Shabir Ahmad is a
carpenter who earns a modest sum of Rs.
5,000 per month. My family lived in abject
poverty, and it was an arduous task to make
ends meet. To make matters worse, my
younger brother met with an accident and
sustained serious injuries, and my family
needed a large sum of money for his medical
treatment. At the time, things were looking
very bleak for my family and I. Lady luck
smiled on me when I happened to attend the
Mahindra Pride School road show. The
powerful presentation left an indelible
impression on me. I promptly enrolled in a Hospitality Management course. One of the
hallmarks of MPS is a constantly evolving
curriculum that adapts itself to effectively meet
the changing needs of the job market. Finally,
I clinched a job at Courtyard Marriott, Pune,
as a Trainee, with a monthly salary of Rs.
8,000. Now I have joined Angara, Hyderabad,
as Senior Captain, at a monthly salary of
Rs. 15,000. It is a matter of great pride that
I am a leader to 21 stewards. Looking back,
I would not have made it this far if it was not
for the support and guidance of those at MPS.
I will always be grateful to Mahindra Pride
School for turning my life around.
