Quickfire Questions: Joshua Varughese

Why did you choose Warwick?

What are you doing now?

Manager - Restructuring Advisory

What motivates you to do what you do?

My ongoing motivation is leaving the world a better place than I found it. That can be at work, by supporting clients as they navigate difficult situations, and in life, by continuously improving myself so I can have a positive impact on the people I love.

How has your time at Warwick influenced what you do now?

Warwick introduced me to an international community of people, which in turn helped me cultivate a deep intellectual curiosity and gave me the freedom to explore and develop new interests.

What is your favourite memory?

Before Warwick, I didn’t consider myself creative or artistic, but joining the Malaysian Society pushed me out of my comfort zone, and found myself acting on stage for a theatre production!

Favourite place on campus?

PPE Common Room - no better place!
