Moving from Trivandrum to Mumbai, I was about to join a well-known reputed organization. I had the offer letter from them too. There, I found a job advert in the newspaper. It was from a multinational company. I applied for the job and to my surprise I got it along with a high pay and a car. At the age of 25, in May 1994, it felt truly great and made me feel like I had arrived. Completely contended, I reported to work on the first day and realized that the office was an empty house with no one around. With anxiousness I spoke to one of my interviewers and was told that I was the 2nd employee and together we had to decide, define, and design the organization. After that there was no looking back and I’ve stayed with Olam for over 2 decades.
