Faculty of management studies, delhi

Associate Member, Corporate Relations and Placement

Jan 2008 – Jan 2009 · 1 yr

Went through one of the most rigorous selection processes to get one of the most daunting but at the same time, rewarding jobs in a B-School. This was made all the more challenging by the Global Financial Crisis which impacted B School placements significantly. This had elements of enterprise sales, process and program management and stakeholder experience management, all rolled into one. This taught me empathy, the value of being nimble footed and to never give up, irrespective of the odds.
