The major highlight of the first week was the town hall interaction with Mr. Anand Mahindra. The entire batch of GMC interns visited his Gateway office to interact with him, a tradition that truly highlights how the senior leaders value the GMC programme. We had a discussion over Leadership and the upcoming general election. Mr Mahindra drove the session with his own charismatic style. The lessons on leadership in defining the virtues were major takeaways from the session. The excitement was manifold when he tweeted my closing statements as his learning from the town-hall - “ We need to distinguish between goal and purpose", and “Our current purpose in life is to search for a purpose”.
The induction concluded in Kandivali, where we met a lot of senior leaders, who took us through the marketing campaigns, strategy and innovation in electric mobility of the group. We had a fun-filled board game session, where we made some great friends and all those shyness were literally whipped away after.
The induction concluded with an eight-hour session on Design Thinking from a prominent faculty of SPJIMR. The workshop was quite vital for us to understand the nuances of market research and the creation of a business case.
Overall the GMC programme induction intricately communicates to us the expectation and belief of the management on the GMC interns. It’s a well-designed programme bringing together the best minds across the country.
