Mu Sigma- My Work and My Life..

20th Jan 2006- 6.30AM, I reached Bangalore, a small town girl with lot of ambitions and dreams, to make a rocking career, with the help of MBA degree.. I was not too confident about myself, because, I did not study in ICSE/CBSE syllabus to speak a good English, thanks to the Kerala Syllabus where it taught us to pronounce most of the English words in a typical "Mallu accent".. For eg, in stead of "Donkey" it may sound as "doongey", or "Sorry" as "Soory"... Well, jokes apart, it did not stop me from speaking in English.. I started my project work with M N Ramarao and Co, where my assignement was "How to improve the HR policies and Procedures" of MNR&Co.. Witht he help of all the employees of that small co and my mentors, I succeeded in implementing new policies there. After a month of my project completion, I started my career as a Recuiter in a very small recruitment firm called "Aarch Solutions".. All I knew that I may have to do the job a telecaller (a big misunderstanding).. And that too for a booming vertical like "Analytics".. Little I knew about Analytics and was not too confident about how to prove myself.. I got clients like Genpact (erstwhile GECIS), Symphony etc.. Within 2 months, I became the best performer of the company and day by day I started loving the word Analytics, my quest to know more about Analytics Industries and the kind of work they have,made me to do a daily homework on the same.. Within 1.5 yrs, I became an expert in Analytics recruitment and started giving training to the new joinees..I started dreaming of getting into an Analytics company, and kept on trying.. Got in touch with couple of HR's of Analytics companies like "Mu Sigma" (my present company).. I guess I would be one person who troubled HR like anything for getting into Mu Sigma from last 2-3 Yrs.. It may sound strange, but the truth is I wanted to get into Mu Sigma and start my corporate career.. June 2009, I saw a posting in LinkedIn, by Mu Sigma HR, "Analytics Recruiters" (posted 1 hr ago).. I did not want to miss the chance, send my resume to her and kept on calling her.. And then I came to know that it might be a contract assignment, I did not care, because all I was thinking about that time is to getting into my dream company.... And now there am... Today am a very confident woman, from a small town girl to a very confident woman, the journey was not as easy as one think.. Atleast I never thought I would be able to make it, I never thought I would be able to adjust with the weather, food and definitely culture also.. I never thought I would select Bangalore as my second home..

"Alchemist" - the book which inspired me to dream a lot and make it true... It says "When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his/her dream".. Isn't it true? Atleast in my case, I belive it is .. People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they do not deserve them, or that they will be unable to achieve them..

And I decided to choose the "Road Less Travelled"...So that it will lead me to where I should be...
