It is that time of the year when most students go through a phase of transition in their life. For those of you stepping into the corporate world for the first time, be assured that it is going to be an equally exciting journey as it was in your college and school. For those who are stepping back into the world of business after a break, a lot will change, for better and it will all be worth it. To be honest, I was a bit nervous starting my corporate journey as a fresher, right after B-school. But to my fortune, my career started with an organisation like DIAGEO India a place that felt no different than a family. I had mentors who would go out of their way to help me, made me feel comfortable and inclusive. My journey as a Management Trainee began in July last year. In the last 10 months, I have had the privilege of staying in over 4 different cities and working with 4 different functions. What more can I ask for! In my first stint, I was tagged to the supply team, followed by a project with the customer marketing team. I made the best use of my MBA when I got the opportunity to work with the HR team. Working with each team has truly been an enriching experience. Diageo’s commitment to inclusive & innovative culture provided me with enormous opportunities to learn and grow. Finally, I was given a chance to do a factory stint as my final project. This practically got me the closest to understanding the business. Once again, a big shout out to the entire team at the unit and corporate office for trusting me with one of the most crucial projects which is extremely rare for a fresh graduate to get. Factory is where I truly understood Diageo, one big family, celebrating life everyday, everywhere. This is where life came a full circle and I understood how an organization’s values can truly resonate with your personal values. Lastly, as someone who had no idea about the corporate world to have worked in diverse functions in the last 10 months, I would like to say that for all those starting out their corporate career, be comfortable in ‘not knowing’ since that’s the best way to unlearn and learn. I’ll also take this opportunity to thank all my guides and mentors at Diageo for helping me navigate and belong. #Inclusiveness #Diversity #Inspiration #Leadership #Sustainability #DiageoIndia #CelebratingYou #PeopleOfDiageo #LifeAtDiageo

How time flies… Already 1 year at AB InBev🎉 The past year was for sure one, which was pivotal in my life. Starting my frist “real” job and this with an industry leader changed my life quite a lot. In the last 12 months, I not only completed my Trainee Program, but also moved 3 times, and got the chance to take over responsibilities, I never thought I would have so early in my career. Now, as Returnable Packaging Analyst being able to shape our return bottle operations and drive change to ensure our production runs smoothly, is something I never expected. Taking resume after 1 year, I wanted to share my 3 key learnings with you: ✨Keep calm: No matter what obstacles life throws at you, take a step back, evaluate and then decide. Don’t panic when things go wrong! ✨Take actions: Especially early in your career, I believe it is key to be proactive and not wait for someone to come around to tell you what to do. Drive what you think is important and find creative solutions. ✨Be humble: Don’t think that you need to show off what you did and how great you are. No one likes a show off. Do you work good and people will realize. Opportunities will come your way, you just need to be ready to catch them. I am so grateful to everyone, who supported me on this way and to all my fellow trainees at AB InBev! #dreamBig #futurewithmorecheers #career #firstjob #ABinBev

Looking back at my own experience as a management trainee 11 years ago as a fresh graduate, I remember the mix of excitement, challenges, and growth that shaped me both personally and professionally. It was a transformative journey that not only honed my skills but also gave me a broader perspective on business and leadership. From rotating through various departments to working on real-time projects with incredible proven track of record mentors, the program set a solid foundation for me. Those early days taught me the importance of adaptability, collaboration, and the value of continuous learning—lessons I carry with me to this day. If you’re ambitious, driven, not afraid of taking risks, and eager to grow, I encourage you to apply. This isn’t just a job, it’s the start of a journey where you’ll challenge yourself and uncover your true potential.

Here's why my Postgraduate Diploma in Management is more than just a piece of paper – it's my secret weapon as a trainee at L'Oréal. I always knew I wanted a career in management, but it wasn't until I started my management traineeship at L'Oréal that I truly grasped the day-to-day realities. Recently, I faced a challenging situation involving conflicting priorities within a project. My Postgraduate Diploma in Management from NWU Business School provided me with the problem-solving and decision-making frameworks to navigate situations effectively. Two key takeaways from the program have been invaluable: the focus on strategic thinking, which has helped me see the bigger picture in my daily tasks, and the emphasis on effective communication, crucial for navigating complex team dynamics. These real-world applications of my studies are constantly reinforcing the value of my education.

I don't usually share a lot about my life, but today I felt like breaking that because I am inspired. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to complete the Odyssey Assessment for the Graduate Management Trainee Program at The South African Breweries/AB InBev, and what an intense experience it was! 🚀 The assessment pushed me to think critically, manage my time effectively, and adapt to complex scenarios. It was not easy, but the challenge was invigorating! 💡. I remember doing a multiple-choice questionnaire of 60 questions on various scenarios and managerial choices, and I can tell you that almost all of the answers were correct!😁 The application process was fairly easy, but it took me a whole week to prepare all the necessary documents. From updating my CV to writing a compelling and strong cover letter, the preparation process itself was a great way to reflect on my career goals and aspirations. The job post truly resonated with me, motivating me to put forth my best effort.👌🙌 However, every step of the process was a great learning opportunity, testing both technical skills and strategic thinking. I’m grateful for the chance to stretch my limits and demonstrate what I can bring to a world-class company like SAB/ABInBev.👍😎 Looking forward to what’s next in the journey! 💼💪 #GrowthMindset #GraduateTrainee #SABInBev #ChallengeAccepted #CareerJourney #OdysseyAssessment #ProfessionalDevelopment #LearningAndGrowing
