About

Gautam Puri

Vice Chairman & MD, CL Educate Ltd.

As a child, I was ‘pathetic’ at studies. I was at the bottom of the class, my rank was equal to the number of students, who would pass in the class! But fortunately, my academic graph has a positive slope. I was poor at school, but I got better over the years in college. In my engineering college, I started studying for the first time. Gradually, I became one of the toppers in my class; and eventually, started teaching half my class before the exams. That way, I had my first teaching experience in my engineering college. From being poor at studies, I transformed into someone to whom a lot of people owe their graduation degrees!

Post joining the program, the first lecture you get is from the coveted Gautam Puri. Contrary to the presumptions (“Bossy”) I had about GP, my first interaction with him was amazing. The kind of people you would want to talk more, share more because of the warmth and connection he forms with your story. The personalized touch to the program couldn’t have been more enriching.

Preparing for CAT with a full-time job is always a challenge, but the CL night classes is the perfect recipe for success. Post joining the program, the first lecture you get is from the Gautam sir. He was welcoming & approachable. Post CAT, I took part in CL PDP program where the CL boss was my mentor. I had just the 5 interviews, with a timeline as wide as 10th of February to 18th of April.

A word that define Gautam sir would be: Dexterous, for the way sir remembered my whole PDP jounrney with me, and always gave me apt advice; Motivator, for the way he believed in me, even when I did not; Humble and down to earth. The sessions with him were very helpful, as they gave me ‘personalized’ insights into where I went right, where I went wrong, and how I can improve further.
