All-rounder Anosh
Anosh Wadia has been blazing a trail since his school days in Bombay’s St. Mary’s where he was awarded the Best Scout of the Year trophy for two consecutive years. His election to the Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges "in recognition of outstanding merit and accomplishment as a student at the University of Missouri-St. Louis” has been certified by its director Dr Catherine J. Randall.
Having just completed his MS in MIS (master of science in management information systems) at the University of Missouri, Wadia was awarded the Gateway ASM Scholarship and AG Edwards Scholarship in the US, mentions a press release. He simultaneously completed graduate certificate courses in logistics and supply chain management and in telecommunications management from the same university. A senior consultant in the Instructional Computing Labs and graduate assistant to the College of Business Administration at the University, Wadia was asked to be flag bearer at the graduation ceremony, notes a family source.
Wadia: computer wizardry
Graduating with a first class in the commerce stream with vocational computer application from Jai Hind College, Wadia received a scholarship and certificate of merit for securing the highest grades in the computer examination from the University of Bombay. He also won a gold medal in the annual computing program of the College, notes his father Jehan, a Bombay based financial advisor. Simultaneously he is said to have co-authored a BCom textbook titled Rapid Revision in Computer Systems with Prof N. Masani.
Musically inclined Wadia is known to have passed his violin examination with merit from the Royal School of Music, London, was one of the youngest members of the Bombay Chamber Orchestra and is a member of the University of Missouri Student Orchestra. However, he wants to make his mark in the information technology industry and eventually start his own business, says his father.
