Pantaloons has been a go-to destination whenever I want to shop for clothes. In fact before starting my MBA when I had to shop for formals choosing Pantaloons was an obvious choice. Ultra Tech Cement is another brand which I have looked up to. It was here that my brother started his career in. We've together reflected on how the ethos of an organization can make a difference to a business and people's lives and we're both admirers of ABG.
Part B:
I joined a consulting firm after my undergraduate degree. Prior to joining the firm, I had always achieved my goals in my school and college from Day 1. However, once I joined my workplace I realized I had way too much ground to cover. I underwent a steep learning curve to be at par with some of the smartest people I have ever come across. In the first week, I remember a particular day when we had a tight schedule to complete an assignment. My team members decided to do the work on their own without involving me that day. I felt really embarrassed. I wanted to be a meaningful contributor to the team.
The next day, I decided to start taking initiative towards the different tasks in the project. I would help other members in small project tasks and realized that in the process of solving them I learnt various other things outside the specific task. In the next two years, I continued this approach and was able to be a sought after team member for difficult projects. In the last project, I was entrusted with responsibilities that I could only dream of in the beginning. I had the opportunity to mentor new members and success to me was being able to inspire them with my passion for solving business problems.
