🎓🎓🎓 Celebrating MBA Graduate Nikita Chandan 🎓🎓🎓

“Pursuing the MBA was both a personal and professional investment — a way to reconnect with structured learning, deepen my business acumen, and prepare for the next chapter of my career with clarity and confidence.

What I valued most about the Meredith MBA program was how it supported my return to academics after more than a decade away. Having worn many hats in my career — architect, urban designer, faculty member, and entrepreneur, I’ve always been committed to growth and staying relevant in today’s evolving business environment.

The program helped me sharpen my strategic thinking and leadership capabilities through coursework in business strategy, organizational leadership, and data-driven decision-making. Real-world case studies, collaborative projects, and engaging discussions challenged me to think critically and apply theory to practice.

Looking ahead, I hope to bring together my design foundation, strategic insight, and leadership strengths in a role that allows me to contribute to meaningful, forward-thinking work. The MBA broadened my perspective and equipped me to take that next step — not just with experience, but with renewed purpose and direction.” ~Nikita Chandan
