My First Step Into The World Of Mahindra - Chiradeep Bhattacharya, SIBM Pune

The following day was big for us, as we were about to meet Mr. Anand Mahindra. I was brimming with excitement to meet with a corporate leader of such tall stature who is not only so humble but witty at the same time. I have been following his daily tweets which are interesting source of knowledge and insights. From the moment he walked in to the final photoshoot, we were all in awe of such a charismatic personality. We had a very stimulating and thought-provoking discussion on qualities of leadership and the relevance of purpose in our lives.

The next day we had sessions with the leadership team at Mahindra’s Kandivali office where we got a sneak peak at the marketing strategies behind the recent launches of Mahindra Auto Division by Mr. Veejay Nakra, on precision farming by Shubhabrata Saha and how Mahindra was working in the agriculture sector with the farmers in becoming farm to fork enterprise by Mr. Ashok Sharma. This was followed by team bonding exercise and rounds of fun card and board games.

The following day was our first day with our respective sector teams and then we had a day of training on Design Thinking. With this we ended our first week in Mahindra and set out to our respective locations. In my case it is Patna, from where I will cover the twin states of Bihar and Jharkhand for my project.

Looking forward to lot of learning, travelling to new places and meeting new people and giving my best to make my time in Mahindra a success.

I can and I will

Rise!!
