How badly can you mess up your first big assignment and still have a great career? Quite badly, if you ask Vinod Kumar Vinod joined CEAT as a GMR (MT) with 3 years of work experience, an MBA from SPJIMR and, like he says, with a little too much confidence. His first big project brought some of that crashing down. What happened after is probably the more interesting part. 19 years. 8 roles. GMR to VP. And almost none of it in a straight line. Because careers aren't only shaped by the things you get right. Many times, they're shaped by what happens after you get something very wrong. This isn't really the story of how he got there. It's the story of why his first failure didn't get to decide how far he could go. #FieldDiaries #GreatPlaceToGrow #HelloHappiness

Walking into spaces that hadn't seen a woman engineer before, and building something they hadn't built before. This is what "like a girl" looks like at RPG. Comment with one woman engineer from your company you're proud of. #DoItLikeAGirl #WomenInEngineering #RPGGroup #GreatPlaceToGrow KEC International Ltd. Raychem RPG (P) Ltd.

How do we make room for avocados when India’s appetite for them is growing rapidly? National imports nearly doubled from ~9,000 tonnes in 2024 to ~19,000 tonnes in 2025, with demand expanding beyond metros into Tier-2 markets. At Harrisons Malayalam Ltd, this growing demand is creating an opportunity to explore how avocados can coexist with traditional crops. The result? - Greater land productivity - A high-value crop with growing domestic demand It’s a model that brings together crop diversification, better land utilisation, and a future-ready approach to Indian agriculture. As India’s avocado consumption continues to grow, could this become an unexpected part of the country’s avocado story? Tell us your thoughts below.  #RPGGroup #HarrisonsMalayalam #AgriBusiness #SustainableFarming #Innovation

Most of us have sat in a meeting hoping nobody asks the hard question. These students volunteered for a room full of them. Two live business challenges. A jury that pushed back. And first-year B-school students who held their ground, thought on their feet—and knew when an argument deserved a rethink. Perhaps good judgement doesn’t always wait for experience. Corporate India, sound on. #RPGOutperform #FutureTalent #GrowFastStayHuman #AGreatPlaceToGrow #HelloHappiness Congratulations: Nandini Dwivedi Akshita Verma Ahana Roy XLRI Jamshedpur Navya Raj Falak Nagar Bhaavya Taneja Faculty of Management Studies - University of Delhi Rachit Saraf Khushboo Agarwal Utkarsh Gandhi Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta Thank you dear jury: Hriday Mittal Suhas Shenoy Kunjan Chikhlikar Thank you to Rajat Bhargava for giving away prizes to winners.

Who puts a finance guy with zero sales experience in charge of International Sales across 100+ countries? CEAT did. Anupam Kumar spent 10 years as an investment banker after IIT Roorkee and IIM Bangalore. Then came an offer, no one saw coming—including him. And the night he said yes to it, he couldn’t sleep. Stay for the last line. It captures his whole career in one sentence. CEAT Limited #LaterallySpeaking #GreatPlaceToGrow #RPGGroup #CEAT #HelloHappiness

Every gain we chase daily is transient - a like, a scroll, a small win and it resets by tomorrow. Real happiness isn't accumulated. It's compounded — through relationships sustained, skill built over years, and purpose that grows.
