Keeping all this aside, I want to talk about the best part of the whole induction program.
I have always seen Shri. Anand Mahindra on world famous new forums like the Bloomberg, CNBC and NDTV. We even had a case study about him in our first year at IIM Indore about how he spearheaded the iconic Scorpio project as soon as he returned to the group from the Harvard Business School. But when I got to know in the schedule that we were about to meet Shri. Anand Mahindra, I was just ecstatic. It was really an Indian dream coming true. We were taken to the Gateway house and had an hour-long interaction with the charismatic Shri. Anand Mahindra. The temperament and the knowledge of the business titan blew all of us away. That day, it really struck us all that even as interns, we were being given exposure to the business world like interacting with the Mahindra Group Chairman, and it is all a part of a macro plan the Mahindra Group has charted for us to excel in our respective businesses.
Our induction program ended with a design thinking workshop which was conducted by an esteemed faculty from SPJIMR. The workshop was really helpful in formulating an approach and charting a plan to handle the project in a way that would yield the maximum benefit to all the stakeholders. We also had a one-day interaction with our project guides and buddies. It was useful in getting acquainted with them and also getting a brief overview of the project.
One the whole the entire experience was a memorable one. I have got exposure to things here which would be a distant dream to many. I have also realized that people’s management is very important in a federation like Mahindra, I got this learning from the way they have taken care of us and the way they encourage decision making from us and put us on a fast track growth career even during our internship. I am extremely delighted and thrilled to be a part of the Mahindra Group and looking forward to the wonderful things that the group is going to make happen in the next two months.
