What if your career began with the greatest adventure of your life?

Imagine launching new business ideas in -30°C Moscow or creating real change in a remote Indian village, all within your first year out of business school.

This isn't a movie plot; it's the reality of the Tata Administrative Services (TAS) program, one of India's most elite and rewarding leadership tracks. In this unfiltered talk, Asif Shamim, Head of International Business for Commercial Vehicles at Tata Motors, pulls back the curtain on his incredible 20-year journey within the Tata Group.

If you're an MBA student or a young professional aspiring for a high-impact career, this is a must-watch.

You'll discover:
➡️How a summer internship project became the foundation for the now-famous Taj Epicure loyalty program.
➡️The incredible opportunities that come from being thrown into the deep end—from assessing markets in rural Uttar Pradesh to navigating business deals in Russia without knowing the language.
➡️Why the first year of TAS is a "gold mine" that will deliver the steepest learning curve of your life, guaranteed.
➡️The secret to designing your own career path, even if it means staying in one company for two decades and finding your "drug" to stay motivated.

Asif's journey proves that a career at TATA isn't just a job; it's an adventure that pushes you to your limits and allows you to create a real-world impact from day one.
