This is the inspiring story of success against all odds of Manavdeep Singh. His journey bears a testimony to the fact that grit and hardwork alone can make one tide against every force of the world and achieve what one wishes for. Here's a little about Manavdeep:
F.R.I.E.N.D.S - The TV series that has us all laughing hard, no matter how many number of times we have already watched it. The iconic group of six taught us a number of lessons about careers, friendship, love and life. Be it the comical Chandler or the nerdy Ross, each character educated us about various situations in life and how to handle them.

The InsideIIM Alumni Report series takes a look at where the graduates of top business schools are working today, giving a rough estimate to all stakeholders about the concentration of alumni at the world's top companies across various industries. This report will be concerned with estimating the percentage of alumni of top MBA institutes at top consulting firms, as per the latest Recruitment Survey. We have relied on publicly-available data from LinkedIn to carry out analyses and identify trends.
After the nice induction, now it was time for some real work. It was time to solve the challenging business problems, learn some essential skills that would come handy later in life.
Designed by the great architect, Charles Correa, Mahindra Research Valley has been planned in synergy with mother nature where the 125 acres space has only 24 acres as built up area while the rest are covered in green. I still remember my first day at MRV Chennai distinctly where I saw a lot of camouflaged vehicles being tested in the facility and these beauties were nothing but amazing. I walked in to the main reception and saw a full scale tractors in the lobby, shinning in red, and at that moment I felt really lucky to be working right at the grass-root where the change actually happens. A great man had once told me, “Learn what business does the organization do and everything shall follow.” There is nothing better to start learning from the products itself, the very reason why they are built, who all are involved and how are they produced.
Starting out with any project seems tough, but as you begin to understand the various facets of the task handed out to you, everything slowly starts falling into place. This has more or less been the journey for me so far at Mahindra, and I could not have asked for something more enriching. Figuratively, I've moved from gear one to gear two, things have caught on pace, and so has the learning.
After a good induction session with the top leaders of the Group, it was time for us to get into our respective projects. I was given the project in Mahindra Finance in their SME division. My Project Guide was the head of sales of the division. He explained to me everything about the functioning of the company and his vertical, in our first meeting itself. He was very optimistic with the project and explained with what he expects from me in the end. He gave me full freedom to design me the path and timeline and even the milestones of the project, keeping in mind the final outcome.
