I joined GMI as a part-time content writer during MBA. While it's usually difficult to balance academics and work, GMI's flexible culture encouraged intermittent contributions rather than boxing it into hours or days. Work from Home or Flexi working was adopted in GMI far before it became an the worrkplace norm. During my MBA placements, I chose GMI over other offers - because the founders nurtured the individual strengths of every person and inspired me to bring my best to work everyday. The vision of GMI and customer-centric DNA is something I personally resonate with. With this I shifted to a full-time Sales and Customer Success role, leading impactful initiatives and delivery on some key projects, & also became a part of the leadership team at a very young age. The inclusive culture of GMI sets it apart, making it a place for personal and professional growth, led by a purpose. Journey at MCom
Shivangi Shinari
Senior Project Manager
Four years ago, I embarked on a transformative journey with GMI in the technology team that marked the beginning of an enriching experience. From day one, I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry. The collaborative spirit within teams has not only empowered me to contribute my best but also encouraged me to continually expand my skills and knowledge. The tasks I've been involved in have been diverse and challenging, offering me opportunities to push my boundaries and explore my potential. Moreover, GMI's commitment to its employees' well-being is commendable. Reflecting on my journey at GMI, I am grateful for the experiences, relationships, and growth opportunities that have shaped me into the professional I am today. GMI isn't just a workplace; it's a community that fosters growth, nurtures talent and celebrates diversity, where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.
Nikhil Nakashe
Team Lead - Technology
Landing up at the CEO’s house instead of the office due to a mixup of addresses is not the ideal start to an internship; but my time at Great Manager Institute® has turned out to be one of the most enriching learning experiences of my life. I fumbled, I learned, and I blossomed under the guidance and care of the colleagues & manager who treated me not as an intern, but as a future colleague. This partnership came to fruition when I was invited to continue as an analyst in the company. Now, a year later, I sit shoulder to shoulder with my colleagues, having my own individuality, and confidently chairing my own meetings. The journey wasn't linear, but in the nurturing atmosphere of the Great Manager Institute, I found my path to be the best, and it feels like home.
Diya Vora
Analyst
During the COVID pandemic, I found my way to the Great Manager Institute as a Graphic Designer Intern. With zero knowledge of the corporate world, I started to blend into it. Got to work with super-talented teams of GMI, learned, explored new things, and then started in a full-time role. One thing I learned is that the core value of GMI for me is Care. When I was admitted to the hospital because of a road accident, all of my colleagues at GMI were there, for both mental and financial support throughout my recovery period. I am happy to be a Greater.
Prem Londhe
Graphic Designer
Embarking on my GMI journey as a Data Science Intern was a turning point, uniquely shaping my career trajectory. The dynamic three-month internship laid the groundwork for my professional evolution. In the subsequent nine months, my seamless transition to a Product Analyst role underscored GMI's commitment to cultivating individual talents. GMI fosters a culture that propels personal growth. Today, I proudly embody GMI's transformative impact on careers—grateful for the past, and eagerly anticipating the exciting chapters that lie ahead in my future with GMI. Today I am a young mom & also a proud Greater who’s able to integrate an excellent work life balance
Yashna Shah
Product Analyst
Over the past year, my engagement with GMI has woven a tapestry of enriching experiences and continuous learning and growth. Embarking on my journey as an HR intern and grappling with unfamiliar tasks to confidently managing diverse responsibilities as an HR Associate, my progress has been profound. Simultaneously, opportunities of cross-functional collaborations adds depth to the enriching experience at GMI. With a vibrant mix of Gen Z enthusiasm and Gen X leadership, our collaborative atmosphere not only fuels growth but also cultivates a unique camaraderie. GMI's culture of transparency and the organization's faith in me fuel my enthusiasm to contribute my best every day, making it an exceptional platform for professional development.
Pankti Maru
Human Resource Associate
Joining GMI as a data science intern through the Super 20 scholarship program was a game-changer for me. This incredible opportunity wasn't just about learning data skills but shaping my career path. The Super 20 program's tech-focused holostic learning experience made me job-ready. At GMI, the learning atmosphere is amazing, encouraging us interns to innovate and collaborate. During my first nerve-wracking presentation, my manager's boost helped me shine. The appreciation I received afterwards boosted my confidence immensely. I realised that striving to 'Be the Best' pays off. GMI's dedication to nurturing young talent in a competitive job market is truly admirable. This experience expanded my horizons and fueled my ambition for a successful tech career. It's more than an internship; it's a platform where young talents flourish, and I'm grateful to be part of it.

After completing the workshop, people managers became aware of their own ability to foster an atmosphere of trust and high performance.
