Sun shines when i am blind

Airtel (Both Mobile and Telephone & Broadband) have come for placemnt and then want a team of students from all specializations. I did project with them for 6 months including Feb 2004, we tried hard for Management Trainee designation in Air tel Chennai.

ICFAI Chennai is Registered in Bharti : Airtel campus list, so regional centers didn’t have powers to recruit us into Direct Bharti role. We were offered associate roles for some months the promised to pull up. Since the offer was too low and my Boss was not willing to pay us so low, he advice us to get another job and then to decide about Air tel. Now I am place in Chola, when there are only 8 open for placement Airtel has come and asking for a lot of people. Now the Airtel sun is shining when I am Blind at Chola.

I have sent my resume and Job profile to my Inst. Placement co-coordinators, but they rejected my offer telling that Chola is a better job. In Placment, we will always get a Job which is best for us. I will join Chola on 15th March .... Its fun to have 2 offers ---- i just missed it, but some of my friends really made it !!

I am Placed

Finally got some time to announce it officially


I got an offer from Cholamandalam Investments and Financial Services, in Cholamandalam AMC. My Job Profile it to Sell Mutual Funds to Distributors and manage the Channel of Mutual Funds, Designation for First 6 months is Executive Trainee and then Assistant manager - Cholamandalam AMC.

I liked the profile as its is Sales to Channel members: Distributors are the people who Sell the Funds to Investors. So it’s a Professional Profile. Assistant manager Designation I liked it so Much, Pay part of it is not the Best in our Institute, but the Profile, Company, Group, Industry is good. Incentives in Mutual funds Selling will be very high, so I got a good marketing career.



In Mutual Funds we have the following channel:


1. SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India) who regulates the market

2. AMC (Asset managing Company) who creates and manages the Funds, we have comapnies like Sundaram, Chola, Reliance, TATA, Franklin Templeton, JM Morgan Stanley, ICICI and creator of mutual funds in India UTI

3. Distributors (All companies who sell Mutual funds)

4. Investors (Final Customer, who invest in Funds)


My 5 months and Effort of Project with Airtel, is coming to an end as i am doing my Management Research Project at Airtel Telephone and Broadband Services. I have told them that i will be joining Cholamanadalam on 4th April. So my Boss Senior manager Airtel told me that, by next week airtel will make a offer.

Last few Days

When I completed my B.Com in the year 2003, I had quite a great Farewell. It was touchy. I was sure that I will have same fun in MBA. But in MBA at IBS-C I had fun but it was very different. Finally now after almost 2 yrs of tough life and hard learning, we are coming towards a great climax.

On Saturday, 29 th of Jan 2005 we had our last class – Business Ethics and corporate governance. We took group photos. It’s only one Section of IBS-C general MBA class. We went to conference hall – took photos, Sprayed snow, Danced, Kicked certain guys and played for a while.







Its always fun being with friends, that too college days will be remembered for years. These funny moments are to be remembered throughout our life. After college we will have Days, Weeks, Months and Years of sick corporate pressure, work and Tension. We decided to capture some of that fun. We now have to maintain good contacts with our friends in MBA then we can look up to these photos and say ----- Hey see VP-Marketing, VP-HR, VP-Finance, CEO, COO, MD, President of Big Indian corporate and MNC.
