What happens when an MBA student with no prior work experience steps into frontline sales? While it may be a common starting point for many. For me, it was both exciting and overwhelming. I still remember asking what would happen if I couldn’t meet my targets; holding on to that small reassurance while quietly doubting myself. When I stepped into the market, I carried just three things with me—I wouldn’t give up, I would pretend to be confident so no one would see the fear, and somehow, I would figure it out.

My journey with Godrej Foods Limited began with a five-day induction in Mumbai. Somewhere during those days, I started to feel a little relieved. What stood out to me was the culture—no matter who you are or what position you hold, there was a sense of respect for everyone. 

Being part of the WINGS initiative, the field was a completely new world. There were mistakes, rejections, and many days when I felt overwhelmed and truly exhausted. But instead of stepping back, I slowly started taking ownership—trying things my way, learning from what worked and what didn’t, and seeking guidance to stay on track. That shift didn’t change everything overnight, but it changed me. The same person who was scared to even try sales slowly became someone who is learning to handle it with confidence.

Even then, there were days when, no matter what I achieved, my mind would tell me it wasn’t enough. And when I was appreciated, I often felt like I hadn’t done anything significant to deserve it. But I kept showing up.

Sometimes, even now, it feels hard to believe how far I’ve come. This story may look like mine, but it truly belongs to everyone who believed in me, supported me, and stood by me along the way. The WINGS initiative didn’t just give me an opportunity—it gave me the space to grow, to learn, and to slowly become someone I once looked up to.

I remain deeply grateful to everyone who believed in me, supported me through my challenges, and stood by me at every step of this journey.
