Date: Nov - 19th 2012
Place: Philips Head Office, Gurgaon
Time: 9.30 AM
Area: BoardRoom
People: Indian Management Team, Philips
A chance to present a step out strategy to Philips IMT
A chance to prove ourselves (3 men and a baby - Me, Alok, Debi and Shikha)
A chance to impress the panelists
A chance to sell our idea
A chance to get a PPI
A chance to win 3 or 2 or 1 lakh
All went well in the boardroom. We were pleased with our presentation. We were satisfied with our answers to IMT queries. We were happy to give poses and feedback on how the whole blueprint went. We were privileged to interact with each of IMT and get insights.
But the results weren't pleasing.We couldn't make it into top three. But it was an enthralling experience though. Endless night outs, brain storming sessions, 2'o clock maggi and coffee, first trip to Delhi, Gurgaon Philips office, Kareena's picture everywhere - couldn't get better.
Giving a boardroom presentation in front of the top management itself was a reward.
Its not a failure. But a step before success. We were happy that we proved a point in front of all. SCMHRD is as good as any top B-School and we have the potential to make it to the top. Getting selected from 600 entries is no mean achievement. And this will always be etched in my memory as one of the best days of my life !!
