Profile of AJAY K SINGH

I WAS BORNED AT NEW JALPAIGURI(ASSAM) ON 31/12/1974. BELONGS TO A MEDIUM INCOME GROUP FAMILY HAVING 2 BROTHERS & 2 SISTERS AND OBVIOUSLY WITH MY PARENTS.

MY FATHER WAS IN AIR FORCE & GOT POSTING AT VARIOUS PART OF INDIA. AS MY REMEMBRANCE GOES I KNOW I HAVE BEEN AT PATHANKOT(1976-77) & THEN GONE TO SRINAGAR(1978-1981). FROM THERE WE CAME TO AIR FORCE STATION, HINDON(GHAZIABAD).

LIVING AT SRINAGAR WAS GREAT MEMORABLE TO ME. I REMEMBER THOSE APPLE TREE's ON WHICH ME & MY ELDER SISTER USE TO PLAY & TASTE THE BEST APPLE's & KEPT ON THROWING THE BITTER ONE.

ALSO I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THE SHOOTING OF ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MOVIE ON POST MARRIAGE LOVE-"SILSILA"; THIS WAS STARRED BY Mr BACCHAN, JAIABHADURI,REKHA.....???, SANJEEV KUMAR & MANY OTHER.

I ALSO GOT THE FIRST EXPERIENCE OF EARTH QUAKE IN 1980 WHEN IT ROCKED IN SRI NAGAR. IT WAS REALLY A HORRIFYING TRUTH OF NATURE.

NOW COMING BACK TO GHAZIABAD, I COMPLETED MY PRIMARY EDUCATION UPTO 5TH CLASS AT KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA. IN YEAR 1983 WE LOST GRAND FATHER WHO WAS AT ALLAHABAD & AFTER ALMOST 1 YEAR WE LOST OUR GRAND MOTHER; THIS MOMENT IN OUR LIFE OF FAMILY WAS TURNING POINT & AS WE SHIFTED ALLAHABAD AT OUR HOME TOWN.

THIS WAS NOT LIKED BY MY 4 "CHACHA's"; WITH A IRONY THAT MY FATHER HAD TAKEN CARE OF THEM.

DADDY KEPT US AT ALLAHABAD & HE KEPT ON GOING TO SERVE THE NATION AT VARIOUS PLACES LIKE, BARIELLY/AMBALA CANNT/NAJAF GARH/SURAT GARH. FINALLY HE TOOK RETIREMENT IN 1995 BECAUSE OF FAMILY ISSUES.

IN THE MEAN TIME, ME BEING THE ELDEST SON OF HE FAMILY; WAS HAVING THE BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

I PASSED MY 10TH WITH 72% IN 1990 & 12TH WITH 63% IN 1992. AFTER THAT WHEN THE REAL GUIDANCE IS REQUIRED TO ANY CHILD BY HIS PARENT, WAS MISSING & THIS MADE A REAL TURNING POINT IN MY CARRER. I WANTED TO JOIN ARMY BUT MOTHER DIDN'T PERMITTED. AFTER THAT I TRIED 1 ATTEMPT IN ENGG COLLEGE IN ONE OF THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION(IN THOSE YEAR THERE WAS A REAL CRAGE OF ENGG/MEDICAL/CIVIL SERVICES).

GLOBOLIZATION STARTED IN 1991 IN INDIA, THIS ALSO GAVE SOME IMPACT IN LIFE PATTERN OF MINE AS WELL.

WITH OUT WASTING MY TIME, I JOINED UNIVERSITY OF ALLAHABAD FOR B. Sc(PHYSICS) IN 1993 & PASSED IN 1996 WITH 59%. AFTER THAT I GOT ADMISSION IN M.Sc(PHYSICS/MATHS), M.Sc(COMPUTER SCIENCE), PGDCA(SPONSERED BY DRDO), FINALLY PGCBM(BY MNNIT) & FINALLY A JOB AS "ASSISTANT LAB CHEMIST-IFFCO, PHULPUR" BUT SINCE MY DREAM WAS TO STUDY ENGG & THAT TOO AT MNNIT, ALLD ; I LEFT ALL OPTIONS & JOINED PGCBM, MNNIT, ALLAHABAD AND COMPLETED IN 1997 WITH A+ GRADE.

DURING THE CAMPUS INTERVIEW GOT SELECTED IN "RANBAXY LAB's LTD." AS "MARKETING EXECUTIVE" IN JAN'08 AT ALLAHABAD. WITH IN 3 YEARS OF SERVICE I WAS ELEVATED AS "AREA BUSINESS MANAGER" & SENT TO BARIELLY.

BUT U I LEFT RANBAXY & JOINED WITH ALKEM IN SEP'2001 AT LUCKNOW & WAS LOOKING FOR ENTIRE WESTERN UP. IN THIS COMPANY I WAS AMONG TOP 3 PERFORMERS FOR CONTINIOUSLY 3 YEARS HOWEVER DUE TO NON EXPOSURE OF WESTERN UP I LEFT ALKEM & JOINED TORRENT AT GHAZIABAD FIRST LINE MANAGER. THERE AS WELL I WAS ELEVATED AS "REGIONAL SALES MANAGER" BASED AT LUCKNOW/GHAZIABAD/KANPUR.

IN TORRENT I WAS SELECTED TO GO FOR INTERNATIONAL CRM ACTIVITIES & GONE SOME OF THE PLACES LIKE BANGKOK/PHUKET/KUWALALAMPUR/BALI. THIS REALLY OPENED MY THOUGHT PROCESS OF INTERNATIONAL POSTING IN PHARMA BUT I WAS NOT GETTING IT, DUE TO NON EXPOSURE OF THESE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.

IN JAN'08 I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO NEW DELHI & JOINED TORRENT IN DIABETOLOGY DIVISION. THIS WAS A TURNING POINT IN MY CARRER OF FULL FILLING THE DREAM OF INTERNATIONAL POSTING.

ALKEM ONCE AGAIN GAVE BREAK TO ME TO JOIN AS "COUNTRY MANAGER" BASED AT ALLAHABAD IN JULY'2008 & FROM SINCE THEN AND TILL THIS TIME OF WRITING THIS BLOG I AM AT COLOMBO WITH MY FAMILY i.e. OBVIOUSLY WITH MY WIFE, SON Master PRIYAJ SINGH(6YRS) & DAUGHTER Ms. SHRUTI SINGH(2 YRS).
