I’m Monica Parvataneni, a 2009 GNITS graduate and Technology Lead at SiriusXM in Dallas. My love for sports blossomed at GNITS, where the focus on well-rounded development through top-notch sports infrastructure shaped me into a compassionate, strong woman, and a versatile team player. Playing for GNITS had a profound impact on me, and I’m grateful for the experience. If you’re seeking a college for holistic growth, GNITS is worth considering.
Through GNITS-Basketball I’ve acquired some qualities no academic subject could ever teach. I’ve learned to get up every time we fall, work in a team and for the team, focusing on strengths and conquering weaknesses, and made some friends I’ll cherish for a lifetime. Post GNITS I got admitted in to San Jose State University, California, where I carried the same values forward.

I am Pranathi Varma, although I engaged in various sports before college, it was only in college that I first took up basketball. Thanks to the dedicated efforts and unwavering support of Surya Kumari Mam and Ravi Sir, I achieved the unique distinction of being the first individual to represent JNTU Hyderabad in three distinct sports categories at the university level, including Basketball, Handball, and Netball. Under their guidance, I learned the importance of resilience and strength, understanding how to rise after each setback. Being part of a team taught me the value of unity during both highs and lows. The college’s immense support for its sports teams was crucial to our success. Since graduating, I have been with Deloitte for four years, and now I’m fulfilling my dream of pilot training in Canada. The sports community has instilled in me the strength and courage needed to pursue and achieve my aspirations.
