Rajesh Sharma — Operations Associate
'Rajesh, you get paid to listen to stories', one of my friend colloquially passed this statement. People and enabling their careers is my passion. I see myself and my work as a catalyst to be the most transformative and fulfilling chapter of lives and careers I work with. I am a Banker turned Recruiter. Started my career with Standard Chartered Bank in SME Banking and later at Citibank where I was a part of CitiBusiness. Sooner I realized that my curiosity and inquisitiveness on how people make choices, behaviors with respect to the careers and how organizations hire people, was no way subsidizing. Hence, decided to take that plunge to land myself in a boat where I always belong. Voila ! Enters the world of Recruitments. As a Sr. Consultant at MichaelPage, I was responsible for leading and building Financial Services practice at Gurgaon Office; later which lead me to lead executive search vertical at ManpowerGroup India. Now I am a part of IIM Ahmedabad, where I am heading corporate relations and handling key senior and leadership roles for the cohort of PGPX An evangelist for a perfect blend of Content, Community and Commerce. Outside professional pursuits, I am ardent reader and traveler. Some of books that you always find on my desk are: - My Life in Full by Indra Nooyi - 50 toughest questions of life - 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think - Let's Build a Company: A Start-up Story Minus the Bullsh!t - The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant - Rich Dad and Poor Dad In 2018, I decided become a Zumba Dance Instructor. Since that time I added another string to my bow, and now being the fitness dance Instructor, is keeping my inner child alive by dancing like no one is watching.
