Tony Fernandez

Engineer, Foodie, Musician, Student

I’m currently pursuing my MBA at IIM Indore, and am part of the Industry Interaction Cell which coordinates corporate engagement and professional workshops in campus. I’m a graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering from College of Engineering Trivandrum, post which, I was working as an ‘Applications Engineer’ at Oracle for 3 years. With a passionate liking towards many fields, be it academics, sports, music or arts, I always believe that the strive for perfection is the key to success.

Music has always been my passion and I’m a 4th Grade Holder in Piano examination conducted by Trinity College of Music London. Currently I’m a member of Harmon-i, the Music Society of IIM Indore and am also part of the Voice of Indore team that does a talent hunt to find the best singer in the city of Indore. Alongside music, my other interests include calligraphy, creative doodling and long distance cycling. The challenges faced and the satisfaction of becoming ‘the person who changed someone's life for the better’ has always drawn me towards social service activities. I’ve been part of various social service activities which include Chennai Flood Relief campaign that was done in close association with the NGO Prism Trust. During my 3 years at Oracle, I was an active member of Ora-Volunteers and have organized various blood donation camps and cleanliness drives. An all rounder throughout my academic life, I am very interested in organizing/participating in a variety of activities and I believe that academic excellence alone is insufficient for development of a person, and of society as a whole. As part of the Industry Interaction Cell at IIM Indore, I’ve been part of organizing events like Business Conclave - Colloquim, Industry Deep Dive sessions and placement preparation activities through professionally conducted Group Discussions and Personal Interviews. I’ve always been a good team player and have coordinated various cultural and technical events at College of Engineering Trivandrum. Thus, with a passionate liking towards many fields, be it academic, sports, music, arts or social service, I always believe that the strive for perfection is the key to success.
