Mumbai: Fifteen passionate young dreamers competed for a chance to live out their dreams, at Godrej One in Vikhroli. Seven students won the fifth edition of Godrej LOUD (Live Out Ur Dream), a campus hiring engagement for young and talented first year b-school students, to help fulfil their personal dreams.
The finalists showcased their dreams to a panel of senior Godrej leaders comprising Nadir Godrej, Managing Director, Godrej Industries and Chairman, Godrej Agrovet; Vivek Gambhir, Managing Director, Godrej Consumer Products; Balram Singh Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet, Nitin Nabar, Executive Director and President, Godrej Industries (Chemicals) and Sumit Mitra, Head – Group Human Resources & Corporate Services, Godrej Industries and Associate Companies.
In addition to the sponsorship of up to INR 1.5 lakhs, the winners also bagged a spot in Godrej’s internship programme.
Reminiscing the Godrej LOUD journey over these years, Ms. Nisaba Godrej, Executive Director, Godrej Consumer Products Limited, said, “Godrej LOUD is our way of finding passionate young leaders. We believe that if someone is really passionate about something, even if it has nothing to do with what we do, it is likely they will bring that drive with them to Godrej.”
Mr. Sumit Mitra, Head, Group Human Resources & Corporate Services said, “Godrej LOUD has been wonderfully inspiring and has moved much beyond what we had planned when we started this campus engagement platform five years ago. This year we received 1500 wonderful dream entries from 12 b-schools in India. We hope that many of them will become a part of our teams at Godrej.”
This year, Godrej LOUD (Live Out Ur Dream) saw a tremendous response with over 1,500 applications from across India’s top business schools. Team Godrej LOUD visited 12 campuses (NITIE, Mumbai; SP Jain, Mumbai; TISS, Mumbai; SIBM, Pune; SCMHRD, Pune; IIFT, Delhi; IIM, Kozikhode; FMS, Delhi; XIM, Bhubaneswar; MDI, Gurgaon; IIM, Ahmedabad; and IRMA, Anand) to find passionate first-year students.
