In today's video, we will meet this miracle of Mahindra, who did not only pick the business fast but worked towards developing his ‘General Management’ capabilities.
Right from his B-school days Akshay took part actively in competitions and organized campaigns giving him an idea about the world that he was planning to get into. He took part in the prestigious Mahindra GMC program and the seed of a future leader was born.
