It was the ‘Pre-Joining Meet’ at JBIMS when I saw her for the first time. A bright, confident, expressive person, somehow I knew she was very special. As the time went by, I realised I was right.
They say hindsight is 20/20. With the completion of a year at IIM Calcutta, and a lot of reminiscing over the year with batchmates and friends from other campuses, here is a list of things we wish we knew when we joined the brand:

I had my heart set on Purdue University, USA.

Rahul Jain joined Marico in 2010. In spite of coming from NITIE, Mumbai, a school known for producing some of the finest Supply Chain professionals, Rahul has made a remarkable career in FMCG Marketing. He started off as a Management Trainee and over the course of the next few years, did various stints across India. Today, 7 years later, he is the Senior Brand Manager for South East Asia working in Vietnam. We had a chat with him about Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility, role transitions, challenges of working in a different country and more!
