Stewartfield's Mamta Singhal has been shortlisted for the MBA Student of the Year award, one of just ten candidates remaining from across the globe. The 28-year-old engineer faced a 30-minute interview with the award panel, covering her academic achievements, challenges, international exposure, and future aspirations.
Mamta was nominated by Strathclyde University, where she is studying for an executive MBA and is on course for a pass with distinction. She was selected from 120 top students nominated by 120 business schools in 62 countries.
This is the latest in a series of accolades for Mamta. In January, she won the Women's Engineering Society prize at the IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards. Earlier, she won the Supernovas competition for the Greenest New Product Idea at Strathclyde University's first Enterprise Awards Dinner.
Mamta is also in the running for the Junior Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Young Person award, with the final in Delhi later this year. She runs Level 16 Limited, a product design engineering company that works with entrepreneurs and inventors across Scotland.
Speaking about her nomination, Mamta said: 'To be nominated for this is just fantastic. It will be life changing and open up so many global opportunities.' She added that despite working seven days a week, she is 'having the time of my life'.
