I still vividly remember that busy DAY 1 of campus placements at NITIE way back in 2001. There was this hustle-bustle in the air with scores of companies chasing a handful MBAs, as it often happens at NITIE. We had been quite impressed by Kale's pre-placement talk and had marked this company in our calendars. On the “D-day” I landed up with two jobs, one with a behemoth MNC in Hyderabad in operations and one with Kale Consultants – a company on the run-way as we used to call it- in pre-sales. The choice was obvious.
It has been a choice that makes me feel proud and happy every time I think about it. As an MBA I had very few and vague ideas of what software product pre-sales meant. But the excellent mentoring received at Kale in those early days ensured that I was prepared to take on the challenges involved in the job.
I have worked with Kale's airline division and by now have interacted with at least twenty-five global airlines geographically distributed in Asia, North America, Africa, and Europe. It has been a steep learning curve and no one else from my MBA batch has got such a wonderful global experience. Kale means opportunities for MBAs!!
It's not all about work at Kale. There are picnics, fun sessions, cultural “days” that make Kale a fun place. It refreshes you from day-to-day work and increases cohesiveness in the team.
It has been quite satisfying experience in all respects. However, based on my personal experience, I guess at Kale you are assured to get more lucrative opportunities to prove your mettle than anywhere else.
