In this last part of Kaushik’s interview, he tells us of his latest stint, which is at #Facebook. Conventional wisdom is that people who enter #McKinsey don’t leave. Yet, Kaushik left that legacy business within a year and a half, to join a relatively new company, #Facebook. What prompted this decision? What has been his journey with Facebook? Watch this video and find out!
After scoring a 730 in GMAT, Kaushik moved onto the next stage, which was the selection process. To identify which b schools he would be a good fit in, he began communicating with alums and current students from those b schools, asking to meet and getting to know the culture. He calls b-schools abroad as cults, where the culture and traditions are very strong. Of the ones he got in touch with, INSEAD was where he felt most at home. Ultimately, the people you are surrounded by make up for a very big part of your b school experience.
Kaushik Subramanian was placed in L'Oreal, one of the highly coveted companies recruiting at MICA. He had a good run there, getting the opportunity to work on some very memorable projects. However, there was a lot more that he wanted to do with his career. Recognising that he would need to up-skill himself far more, he decided that it was time to do a second MBA. If you aspire to achieve great heights of success in your career, Kaushik's story will appeal to you. Watch this video and find out what his experience was!
Continuing her talk about the HR profession, Harshita takes us through her stint at Honeywell, where she did a Learning and Development role. A TISS alum, she has worked with big companies like Mondelez, Colgate-Palmolive, Honeywell, and Nestle, currently holding a senior position with Freshworks. She talks of the challenges that an LnD Professional faces, and how they deal with varying ranks of businesses, right from fresh joinees to the top brass. Each rank requires a different kind of program to be designed, and each requires special care.
Do you aspire to be an HR professional? Do you know what it takes to be one? Recently, we saw a lot of interest around HR on our platform. To cater to this rising interest, we decided to have a chat with a true blue HR professional, Harshita Chaudhary, SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources). Harshita has close to a decade of experience in the HR function, having worked with big names like Mondelez (then Cadbury), Nestle, Colgate Palmolive and Honeywell. Currently, she works at Freshworks as Senior Manager OD & Talent.

From discussing how his time at IIT BHU changed him and how he then went on to work at Cognizant and other IT Service companies.

Do you wonder how the world will change after the COVID 19 threat has been neutralised? How kinds of changes will work, processes, and systems undergo? One of the major functions to change drastically will be sales. Because now, with work happening mostly online, sales jobs too will have to go virtual. One of the biggest shifts we see in sales work trends is the use of big data. How does sales online work? Why is it a better option than the purely offload mode of selling? And what are pertinent questions to ask if you want to achieve success in sales? In the 2nd part of his talk, Amit Agarwal, self minted Salespreneur, Author of the book “The Ultimate Sales Accelerator,” IIM A & IIT Bhu Alum, and currently Senior VP, Sales and Business Development at Manthan, answers all this and more.
If you’re an MBA student or aspirant, or even an engineering student for that matter, the last career option you’d consider is sales. Most people don’t choose a sales role, they just get selected for it. Quite a few of them prefer to call it Business Development. But at the end of the day, sales is a function that makes the world work, isn’t it?! In this video, we speak to Amit Agarwal, self-minted Salespreneur, Author of the book “The Ultimate Sales Accelerator,” IIM A & IIT Bhu Alum, and currently Senior VP, Sales and Business Development at Manthan, about his long and rich sales career. If you want to know what attitude it takes to succeed in your chosen profession, Amit’s talk will prove insightful and enriching.
