My Last Lap in Goldman Sachs...

Iam writing this as iam completing my final lap in this great firm - Goldman Sachs

For people who are still not aware of the firm...its one of the worlds best Investment Bank, which does not believe in the concept of Brand Building in the literal sense.

The word 'great' can be associated with very few things and Goldman is definitely one of them. A 150+ year old company which has survived the worst of market crashes, adviced some of the best corporates in the world like Ford Motor Corp, Microsoft Corp, letting the world know about the BRICs, and perhaps one company that has the best work culture,ethics,decorum.....Its truly unfortunate that i have to leave this firm on personal grounds.

The BRICs report by Jim O'Neil of Goldman let the whole world know that Brazil,Russia,India,China are no more 'developing economies' but 'transforming economies'.

On the lighter note i want to share this incident that happened last year....Its true that Goldman does not do a lot of Brand Builiding which is all the more a vital reason for the house wives of India to not know beyond the contemprory Indian IT companies..A very proactive and 'service minded' neighbour of ours who enquired my professional where abouts was also quite concerned that i was working with a small,unknown company and went ahead, promised that she would ask her son to secure a job for me in an Indian IT company that he works for. Iam not here to compare companies but to just highlight deadly combination of 'Ignorance+Confidence' of our desi nari's.
