ZSers with diverse educational backgrounds share an inside look on their success at ZS


Where passion changes lives



At ZS, we welcome people with diverse work and educational backgrounds. Come with your ambition, learning and entrepreneurial spirit, and we'll help you carve your career path while supporting you along that journey.

 

Hear from some of our talented people who joined ZS with varied profiles such as arts, mathematics and commerce and reflect on how they’ve used their passion for driving an impact for ZS and our clients.

Are there specific passions and interests that you’re able to connect to your journey at ZS so far?



As a designer, I’m passionate about creating efficient designs to improve the end-user experience with the product. One of the things I love about my job is witnessing the results of my team’s design updates and seeing our work yield positive user feedback. Having the opportunity to lead projects from ideation through launch is one of the reasons I can connect myself with ZS. 

Can you please tell us about your educational background? What helped you drive an impact for your team and ZS?



I have a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. My education and previous work experience helped me bring in new design ideas and trends. At ZS, I learned more about the pharma industry, UX design best practices and reporting tools such as MicroStrategy, Tableau, QlikView and Qlik Sense. 

What projects make you proud because you knew they would lead to positive outcomes?



I’m most proud of managing successful client accounts in ZS, primarily when I worked on ZAIDYN (formerly known as REVO), reporting design opportunities for various clients.

What was your biggest motivation to join ZS?



I was looking for a challenge—a place where I could continue learning and tackling different sets of business problems. I had heard great things about ZS and that it was a place that provided their teams with many opportunities, so I decided to explore.

Can you please tell us about your educational background? What helped you drive an impact for your team and ZS?



I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University and a master’s degree in applied operational research from Delhi University. The people at ZS have been my biggest motivators for driving an impact. ZS has smart (yet humble) people with whom I can connect, learn and collaborate. New ideas are encouraged here and the ecosystem supports you in your adventures. It feels like you learn something every day from those around you—I find that keeps me engaged and driven to enable similar learning for others around me.

Are there certain passions and interests that you’re able to connect to your journey at ZS?



I enjoy learning about different cultures by learning languages and trying different cuisines. At ZS, I can channel that interest by interacting with diverse people across the globe and exchanging ideas. I also enjoy arts and crafts and feel that creativity has been a core part of my journey at ZS so far, guiding the evolution of my skills and interests.

Can you please tell us about your educational background? What helped you drive an impact for your team and ZS?



I am a bachelor in commerce graduate from Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce, Pune. For me, the impact drivers have been ZS’s people and the culture. I have witnessed ZS grow significantly in its business, clients, people and offices, and I am glad to be a part of the growth. 

Are there specific passions and interests that you’re able to connect to your journey at ZS?



I like playing cricket, where every player has a defined role and contribution (and can switch roles depending on the situation). At ZS, I could connect this with teamwork. Depending on the project stage, the team members play different roles and contribute to the successful delivery of projects.

In your life at ZS so far, what were the most significant factors that helped you stay motivated to drive success for ZS and your clients?



The two factors that helped me stay motivated at ZS are the people and the opportunities. I have made some really good friends (friends like family) here and there is no shortage of opportunities at ZS—you just need to ask and express your interest!
