New Delhi, 10 April, 2025 – In a country where dreams often get limited by zip codes, Sunstone, a leading higher education company of India, is proud to spotlight the inspiring journey of Prerita Prakash, a young professional who transformed her aspirations into reality with the right education and training. Hailing from Shimla, a tier 3 city, Prerita defied traditional career norms and secured a prestigious placement for HR role at Sonalika Tractors, a testament to the power of industry-aligned learning and practical training.
Raised in a joint family where government jobs were considered the safest career path, Prerita knew early on that she needed to step beyond her hometown’s limited private-sector opportunities to achieve her ambitions. Determined to build a successful corporate career, she took the bold decision to pursue an MBA at GD Goenka University powered by Sunstone with Sunstone’s industry-ready curriculum, ensuring she received the right skills and exposure.
“Choosing Sunstone was one of the best decisions of my life. The combination of industry-relevant training, practical exposure, and an affordable fee structure made it the perfect fit for me. Unlike traditional MBA programs, Sunstone’s focus on return on investment (ROI) ensured I secured a 5LPA salary job and achieved financial independence early in my career” said Prerita.
Sunstone played a pivotal role in shaping Prerita’s corporate readiness. Through structured internship opportunities, industry mentorship, and hands-on learning, she developed crucial skills in communication, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. The Sunstone App further enhanced her learning experience by providing seamless access to coursework, attendance tracking, and job applications.
During her placement journey, Prerita had access to over 1200 recruiters, applied strategically, and successfully secured her role at Sonalika Tractors. Sunstone’s rigorous placement training—including mock interviews, group discussions, and case studies—enabled her to confidently navigate the hiring process and excel in her corporate role. Today, just a year into her career, she has already taken on key responsibilities, such as interviewing IIT graduates for R&D positions and making critical data-driven decisions on salary structures.
“Prerita’s journey exemplifies Sunstone’s commitment to empowering students from diverse backgrounds by providing them with access to quality education, industry-aligned training, and strong placement opportunities. Her success story is a reflection of the value Sunstone brings to students seeking a transformative learning experience,” said Ankur Jain, Co-Founder and CBO, Sunstone.
