About Me

Hello, Waving Hand

I'm Rohit Girdhar

I'm an MS-MIS student at Texas A&M University, currently looking for full-time opportunities in the areas of Product Management and Analytics.

When I'm not studying, you can find me ...

Running a Marathon

Don't run from your problems, run a marathon instead. I know it was bad, Sorry!
I have run several marathons and even organized a few at my college. The post-run endorphins released also called the 'Runner's High' is truly one of the best feelings ever.

Reading Books

Finishing one book per month was the New Year's resolution I took back is 2017. And I've never looked back. Since then I've read more than 90 books in different genres. I'm particularly into non-fiction books and you can find them in the small personal library I have at my home.

Creating Illustrations

I've had a knack for designing from early on in life. My history notebooks from middle school can be found filled with doodles at the back, as it was the most boring subject... of all time! My dribbble profile showcases some of my digital illlustrations.

Spinning the ball

Be it Badminton, Table Tennis, Lawn Tennis or Squash, I play and enjoy them all!
Let me know if you're up for a match!

Flexing at the Gym

I make sure to hit the gym 4-5 times a week. As gyms are closed in my locality due to the ongoing pandemic, I've setup a mini gym at my home.
No excuses!

Taking it out for a spin

For me, driving is not just a mode of transportation, but a hobby and a passion. The act of driving provides a unique escape from the daily grind, where I can clear my mind, focus on the present moment, and immerse myself in the beauty of the journey.

Competing at Hackathons

I started going to Hackathons for free Pizza. Not even kidding!
In college, my team qualified Nationals for the Business Analytics and Data Mining Championship organized by SAS. Competing with the most brilliant minds and industry professionals having years of statistical and analytics experience, truly was great learning experience!

Having a good time with friends

Work hard, party even harder! This was taught to me by my parents very early in life. Hustling and working towards your goal is fine, but you need to find some time to relax too.

I'm lucky to have some amazing friends who are just a call away. We've travelled all across the country together, and now even planning an international trip once the pandemic is over!

and more...

I love sharing my knowledge with others. Associating with Teach Code for Good, a student initiative in Manipal, I got the opportunity to teach programming to underprivileged children around the town.

I'm a tech enthusisast, always excited about the latest gadgets in the market.
From aesthetic dual monitor setups to smart home automation, technology never fails to fascinate me.

I hope you got to know be a little better as an individual.
