Nippun Gupta
Sr. Strategic Mgt
The Fourth Dimension Consulting Group
Family Background
3 Brothers all married, father and Mom retired Govt Employees, Elder Brother- Head Treasury and Collateralised Security for an MNC Bank, Young Brother Country Head - Sales for a leading FMCG company. Family support carries a lot.
A Fine Balance:
The most difficult part of question..I spend almost 12-14 hrs in office and commutation. So I enjoy weekends with my family comprising my daughter and wife. We go for a daily drive for 30-45 minutes to recapture what happened in the day time and plans.
Points of inflection
My Skills, Exposure to varied domains, no superficial work but from ground level
Changes in the industry
This is the most hated department in any domain as we find mistakes, blunders and suggest changes. In IT industry we have QA+QC. Ideally speaking QC to plug gaps and Data to QA for process improvement but it does not happen in any organization. My thought is QA/QC person to be involved from scratch.
Degrees that Matter
Appeared for ISTQB, Got BrainBench Certification in Testing. Got SEI-CMMI1.2 ATM, ISO9001:2000 QMS AUditor certificates
Most Important Decisions
Some were wrong while switching over jobs, but they also gave an experience so as to evaluate others.
Essential Advice
no not at all as a fresher in QA/QC/Testing. Must have atleast 1 life cycle in complete SDLC
Plans for the Future
May be as CIO / CTO of some large Corporate
Currently working at
Currently handling an IT function - Apps SUpport and Infra team for a real estate developer -MNC Company.
Current and Previous Responsibilities
Not much a diff
Tech trends to watch out for
more technology is making us redundant and with less Manual testing the defect ration is bound to rise.
Areas for the Future
testing the complete application like ERP, BI, CRM tools E2E
