AQuest

By this time on 28th February, new Questers will be crowned. A good time as any to remind you of the important role our audience plays in aQuest. So come, cheer your teams on. Cheer the competitions. It's all good. Even you can win something in the bargain.

Meet Sagnik Dutta, returning finalist from aQuest 2019. A final year student of Mechanical Engineering from Institute of Engineering and Management, Kolkata, Sagnik was one of our runners-up last year.

Sagnik's interest predominantly lies in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning but he is also fascinated by Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines.

Born in Kolkata, Sagnik has been a native all his life. He is not looking forward to a time when he may have to leave Kolkata, leaving behind cherished memories.

Even though not formally trained, he enjoys playing the harmonium. When it comes to reading, it is stuff from the curriculum first and crime thrillers later, especially anything written by Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.

His career goal is crystal clear: he wants to join a reputed HVAC company after graduation.

He is eagerly waiting for the finals. Knowing the finish line is so close is cause for a major adrenaline rush.

After (no ifs for Sagnik) winning aQuest, he plans to contribute a portion of his winnings to his college chapter and the rest to his mother to put a smile on her face.

aQuest has been an experience of a lifetime for Sagnik. Not just this year. Even reaching the finals last year was a trip. It has helped him come out of his comfort zone and discover skills like risk taking, cooperation and coordination. In passing, he wants to wish all the other finalists and wishes he could come back to aQuest next year as well.
