In the second half, we went to the Gateway office to meet the man himself, Mr. Anand Mahindra. He was the most gracious host, who engaged us with a discussion on the political landscape in the country, asked for our views on the topic, and shared with us his own. It was an honor sharing space with Mr. Mahindra, and I learnt a lot from him and my peers.
The third day of induction started off at the Kandivali office, with sessions from the AFS leaders who explained the business to us in great detail. I particularly enjoyed the session on Marketing, where Mr. Veejay Nakra explained the inspirations behind all the new Mahindra launches in the passenger vehicle segment. The Alturis ad was particularly well-made and the story behind it gave me a lot of insights into how marketing is done, in the real world. Post the sessions, we played several fun games curated by The Board Game Company, which helped us unwind after a long day.
The last day of the induction was a Design Thinking workshop which gave all of us insights into how to approach problem solving and arrive at solutions methodically. It was fun to watch videos to understand how different organisations approach problem solving, and come up with creative solutions to their problems.
With that, I sum up one of the most exciting weeks of my life, a week which I’ll always remember. Now it’s time to dive deep into work, and get the project going.
See you next week!
