What I have been upto
It has been so long since I have blogged, was busy gearing up for my first real job with HCL Technologies Ltd.,as a Senior Management Trainee. It is an unique program which consists of those who went to the Tier 1 B Schools in India. We are a special cadre of Management Trainee’s being groomed to go on to head the various functions in HCL and its affiliates.
One amazing thing I have learnt about this company is its unique culture and the way that this company has been making history in the world arena and not just the domestic arena. HCL built a PC model around the same time Apple gave birth to the PC industry and a good 3 years before IBM came out with its PC. We have been an engineering company and we are doing some of the cutting edge technological work which other Indian companies are not doing especially the service oriented companies like Infy and TCS. The only company we can compare to is Wipro as they also have a hardware business, dont know much about their business anyways. And we have pioneered a lot of firsts in India. Another wonderful thing in this company is this wonderful entrepreneurial culture that we have managed to create and sustain and over 100 CEOs have emerged from our organization.
During the induction program, we were told about the various Lines of Business (LOB), Verticals and Horizontals. I would be the first one to admit that there was a massive influx of knowledge into us and then we were given a case study in which we had to prepare a pitch and sell it to the jury. Me and my group made some elimentary mistakes and it cost us. I will be going to HCL Comnet, which is their infrastructure business in the area of Project Management or Delivery as is the term used within HCL.
I am looking to forward to start working soon.
