I returned from the field visit with an initial report and discussed everything with my guide. After a few days, when I believed that I had a lot of missing links, I talked the same with the guide, he called his managers and asked them to arrange for my meetings and made them even work on their off days, just to get everything in place for me. This made me feel very special and how seriously the guide and the organisation were taking this project.
However, after meeting a lot of clients in the region, I found my views skewed towards the issue of West India only, where Mahindra was comparatively very strong. We had a long weekend coming up due to the Elections and Maharashtra day, and I thought I could better utilise these holidays, and discussed with my guide that I could make visits to other parts of the country and analyse the situation in those areas. My guide was very happy with my initiative and immediately called up the North and South India’s Regional Managers and asked them to plan my visit. I visited Jaipur, Delhi, and Chennai for a day each and returned to Mumbai with insightful information about how different markets were reacting in different regions of the country.
My fourth week ended with all these visits, knowing and understanding, how policies are implemented on the ground. I have started my work on identifying the gaps and opportunities and will develop a strategy on improving the process in the coming weeks. I am delighted to work with a manager who gives so much freedom and importance to every individual and the project. These all factor motivates me to work hard and stay with the Mahindra Group for long.
