Now I am going to read more about sales, leadership and I really appreciate that nowadays you are inviting senior guests their podcasts are really insightful.

Was great to see Ajay Ji. I started my career in Microcomp Ltd and then went on Dubai. I still. remember my interview with DS Puri n CR Ramesh in Mumbai. This was my first job offering, and I went on to crack another 9 jobs, all in my second year Graduation course. I still chose to join the HCL group because the interview process inspired me and I rejected a much higher salary from a Paints company for this specific reason. Yes they selected a great bunch of people as Ajay reminisces. Tgat part they really got spot on. Great interview Raj n personally I enjoy your low key, hunble style.
