Aditya Birla Group
ABG company that I would like to work for is Idea Cellular. My friend working with Idea told me about the youthful, friendly and vibrant work culture at Idea Cellular. Idea Cellular also promotes workplace where work is fun. I always wanted to work with a company where the environment is dynamic and people are friendly. Another reason why I want to work with Idea Cellular is that India is the second largest telecommunications market and is experiencing strong growth. Idea Cellular and Vodafone merger that will create the largest telecom operator in India is also one of the key reasons why I want to work with Idea Cellular.
