Testimonials
Anuradha Sharma
IIM Calcutta
“I was fascinated by the world of HUL, exploring the CiiC Centre, Agile Innovation Hub, and Lakmé R&D Centre. What excited me the most? The 'Customer Home Visits,' which transformed my understanding of consumer behavior as a former entrepreneur. The program offered an incredible chance to shadow business leaders, and understand the magic behind launching world-class products.”
