When offshore online student Mrinal Mahendra Govekar isn’t busy with his studies he can be found working as a bartender and mixologist in Mumbai, India.

Mrinal is pursuing a Master of Applied Management with us. He says he took up the study opportunity to learn more about business handling and organising his own business in the future.

He selected New Zealand because of its advanced education system and the natural ambiance the country has to offer.

Mrinal decided to study at OPAIC because of great testimonies from many of his peers and colleagues who were previously enrolled here.

He says the learning experience at OPAIC is different and unique. His professors and the Student Success Team were a huge help while he was adapting to the new experience of studying online. 

Outside of study, Mrinal loves to participate in cocktail competitions and show off his innovations.

He also loves music production, plays piano, and loves to explore and discover beautiful new landscapes.

Mrinal hopes to continue his degree onshore now that borders are open. He’d also like to work in the hospitality field here and hone his bartending skills further.

When you see Mrinal, tell him your best bartender joke and you may get a free drink.
