Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalCorporate Masala - The inside of Corporate, What matters from an aspiring mind is to help students and graduates from all streams understand what is inside a corporate and how to approach, right from the start to reaching the middle management and beyond. People are in a race to be that “somebody”, and no one wants to be a “nobody” and will sacrifice anything to be that “somebody”. Preparation is the key to success, from understanding the psychology of an interviewer to accepting that there has never been a resume format engraved in stone for “anybody”. It’s the influence and control of certain strategies to survive in corporate that matters.
The focus is on how one should start giving importance to the 21st century skills that are more important than the technical skills that one develops by either graduating or doing an MBA and understand the fact that numbers and grades are not what you are and mean absolutely nothing. You are more than just a number andremember this world is for the averages too and may be more. Education does play a vital role, but it does not deliver guaranteed success and happiness. There are various aspects that tomorrow’s corporate would be looking out for, and what would matter tomorrow is definitely going to be beyond the scores and technical skills one gets from the education imparted. It’s a wild corporate out there, where adaptation is going to be the key to survival.
Subrata Ranjan Chanda
Subrata Chanda is an ex-employee of WNS with 13 years of experience. He always believed in his self-made dictum of, “Work with people, the process will follow” and believed in people management first.
Finishing his education in Mizoram to landing jobs in companies like GE, EXL was a feat in itself. Starting from the level of an associate to his last designation as an Operation Manager helped him think about how one should understand what’s on the inside of a corporate and share it to many who are striving to make it to corporate, especially to the aspiring students, via this book.
Though he does not have a humongous experience in management, he has had a fair deal of championship points as a manager in the in-house leadership team, working with the clients and most importantly the people. He always liked to invoke the team to get on to the job and get over the expectations. He has been known to speak well to help and get more exuberance from people to constantly keep walking. His seniors perceive him as one of the most influential operation managers they have probably ever seen. He always believed in serving people first, and that cannot be on a resume.
