I would like to introduce myself before starting about my crazy bunch of friends because there is a huge chance that you would forget to think about me after knowing them.
I am Apurva Sharma and I hail from Kota, Rajasthan. Yes absolutely, that city where only physics, chemistry, maths and biology hangs in the air. However, I am one of those people immune to such smells.
When I joined IIM-T, I was a bit sceptical that whether I would be meeting all nerds in IIM or some people with multifarious qualities. However, upon meeting the people over here my scepticism went out of the window. I am fortunate enough to find such friends who are not only extraordinary performers in academics but also really awesome at valuing friendship and not to forget – their sacrosanct crazy behaviour.
Now I am giving a brief information of them (due to space constraint, otherwise a whole book wouldn’t have been sufficient).
Ajay Pratap Singh Tomar- When we were returning back from the city centre, our cab driver was not happy to take us back to the institute because owing to the concerns of not getting returned passengers. Ajay offered him a cup of tea somewhere on the highway which brought brightness in the driver’s eyes. Such a small act of kindness does help in a long way. And it’s rare to find people displaying such kindness.
Honey- Tagline: ’Naam to suna hi hoga mera’. A guitarist in making, very kind-hearted and a responsible person. I pull his leg a lot for the tunes he plays. I won’t tell him this but he plays guitar profoundly and I see myself in future as a best friend of a celebrity.
Shubham- Nickname: ’Dataman’ and ‘Chandler’. He is a certified supplier of gossip material of the state of affairs around us. He loves numbers more than anything else. Though his prediction of number of girls in IIM T this year was not precise but he is the happiest person to enjoy minority status here. A click with chandler:
Soujanya- Nickname:’Souju’.This lady is full of an epic sense of humour. She is multilingual and I appointed her as an interlocutor to communicate with the local crowd. Her USP is her ability to make crooked pouts in front of the mirror which is the premier differentiator.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited:
I have worked as an android app developer for 3 years in IT product based companies such as Practo and Naukri.com. I understand the power of customer satisfaction in the expansion of the product in the market. I experienced the power of branding to target a particular segment of customer in order to satisfy their needs. I closely worked with customer behaviour related to feature development and I am sure that my experience would be an asset to ABFRL to expand its business and to penetrate through the target consumer base.
