I discussed my project for hours with my guide and superpower super-guide and constantly took inputs from them. During this course of two months, I spoke to people handling different parts of business to understand their expectations and challenges faced with the role, and with each conversation, I saw myself evolving through questions I used to ask myself that would help me open up to more and more dimensions within a single domain of HR. When I took my buddy through the annexure of the list of people I spoke to within the organisation, I was intrigued as he told me that these are ‘big’ people of the industry because all I felt when I spoke to them was that how chilled-out, easy to talk to and knowledgeable these people were.
So, after multiple iterations of the framework that I had developed for strengthening the role of BHRs, I presented it to the CHRO and was questioned on the approach that I had taken. Though it was disheartening to see questions being raised on something that I had worked on non-stop for two months, I realised that it was not just a project that I had done, it was a learning that I had received, the finer dimensions of the field of HR that I had discovered, the bonds that I had formed with my co-interns, and ultimately, discovering my own self in newer ways that I had accomplished in the course of these two months. All in all, my experience at Marico was a tumultuous yet exciting journey which I do not see fading away in the distant future.
