After his schooling in Jharkhand and Bihar, with parents who stood like a rock of inspiration, Sumit embarked upon a socio-cultural-linguistic journey with his undergraduate studies in Japanese Language at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
“Language and literature are frameworks of how we express our actions and Sumit’s acumen with the Japanese philosophy that’s being increasingly imbibed at global levels resonated well with the competence of an aspiring Human Resource Manager”, highlights Sauraveswar Sen.
