Right before the end of my first year, I was appointed as the Head — Corporate Relations and Events. It was a huge responsibility and I had to live up to the expectations of many as this was a new club and all eyes were on our batch. Apprehensive as I was before taking up this position, it was and still remains to be the one of the best experience for me. Connecting with Industry experts was a hard task — involving hours of LinkedIn searches, sending invites, cold calling, and what not! In the path of learning the HR, I explored the entire Sales Funnel! It gave me a chance to interact with HR professionals of many companies. I even invited the VP/CHROs of Sanofi, Reliance Industries Ltd and Nykaa.com to our campus for knowledge sharing sessions.
This really helped me improve my relationship building and communication skills and was a big confidence booster. These are a mandate for anyone who wants to build a career in HR. The connections I build helped me extensively with my research during my internship as well. Being a part of the HR Club right from the start and being given a position of such great responsibility was very beneficial for my overall development. I am thankful for the opportunity and plan to pass on the experience and learning to the upcoming batches as well.
Which ABGP company will you like to join and why?
With the passion for retail and fashion and preference for HR, I will love to work for ABFRL , if given the chance. Having interned at Future Group, I believe I can contribute well to the ABFRL culture and resonate with their values. Being a fitness enthusiast, ABFRL's new Athleisure collection lures me to work for them. The umbrella brands that ABFRL houses, multiplies the intricacy and complexity, I could contribute to.
