Akshay Gidwani chosen Mechanical Engineering Instead of Computer Science at BITS Dubai and MS at NTU
Born in the UAE in 1996, Akshay began his education and schooling in an O – level system for the first five years, and spent his secondary years in the Indian CBSE Education system. He completed his Bachelors of Engineering (Hons.) (Mechanical) degree from BITS Pilani Dubai Campus with the 2014 – 2018 batch, securing a Distinction after 4 years of consecutive scholarship and a Director's Bronze medal across all the streams for best academic performance. As a Masters of Science Student (Mechanical Engineering) postgraduate from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore with a Dissertation in 3-D printing for Building and Construction, he came back to Dubai in pursuit of further job opportunities. This was the same year when the Covid pandemic created difficulties in finding jobs worldwide.
While interested in ultimately securing a full-time employment opportunity, Akshay was first keen on exploring new fields and horizons to broaden his breadth of knowledge. He undertook some Data Science Courses to gain experience in a new area, and participated in his first hackathon in collaboration with Middlesex University Insights Lab (Dubai) where he came amongst the finalist teams. It was this experience that helped him bag an internship opportunity with Reckitt Benckiser Arabia, where he managed to work with the Information Systems Division on one of their new projects. He previously interned with companies of the likes of Siemens Building Technologies, Larsen and Toubro, KPMG, and Eros Group, getting a wide exposure to many areas like Energy Management, IT processes, sales, marketing, strategy, and even a brief stint in HR.
While exploring technical areas and taking up roles on Student Welfare (during his masters), Akshay participated in various activities that involved being the keyboardist in a band, performing a live rendition at Esplanade (Singapore) of one of his own compositions, and being a member of the NTU Karate Club, where he designed the new club logo. He has also been a member of Toastmasters, and a contributor to the college Editorial board.
Akshay’s second main interest has always been in playing the piano, which he has pursued for sixteen years. His first composition featured in the ending theme of a film that featured on Netflix. Moreover, he now has a small-scale YouTube channel on the side, on which he regularly uploads his compositions. In order to supplement his music channel, he took up a KHDA Accredited course in Digital Marketing to further keep his doorways to music open.
Currently, Akshay is interning with the 3D Printing Team of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) Research and Development Centre, where he is involved in the development of new algorithms. His main passion has always been closer to the technical side; while he seeks to remain spontaneous in life and embrace new experiences by perennially keeping in touch with his musical side!
