Motivational Testimonial

What a former graduate trainee loves about our program.

Rohit Rajasekharan, Chief Transformation Officer

"You are encouraged to take initiative and do things as soon as possible to make a difference.

In a way that's quite rewarding, especially for someone who was young, which was the main reason I stuck to this company.


Nowhere, for a 25-year-old chap, are they going to send you to a new country to understand what's happening in the market, figure out what the problem is, make a presentation, make a strategy and now stay there and fix it."
