The Department of Economics organised a Talk on Corporate Etiquette and Organisational Structure on the 5th of August, 2022 from 8.30 to 9.30 am. The Resource Person for the Session was Ms. Pooja Maurya, Assistant Manager, Deloitte India, Hyderabad. The Talk commenced with a welcome address by Associate Professor in Economics and Head of Department, Dr. Elizabeth Henriques.

She further went on to share her 8 years of fruitful experience at various branches of the company and then finally taking the tough decision of leaving Infosys to join Hinduja Global Solutions, where she roughly worked for around 6 months in 2021 and the finally decided to quit the same for a better job prospect at Deloitte India. Speaking about corporate etiquette and organisational structure, she said that every organisation gave her a different yet wide exposure of the work culture so much so at the new appointees are given a training on how to be well groomed (hair & dress code) all the time, their professional greeting style, etc in the corporate world. She motivated the students on, no matter what the challenge is in life there is no turning back. She also shared with them about her experience of how every community including the LGBTQ community is given equal respect for their choices and hence no looking down upon anyone in life. Finally she concluded her session by telling the students to set SMART goals in life which meant S- Systematic, M- Mearurable, A-Achievable, R-Realistic and T-Time bound. She inspired them to be a goal achiever. A Vote of Thanks was proposed by Dr. Elizabeth Henriques, where she wished Ms. Pooja a bright future and ended the session by stating that ‘The sky is the limit. It’s just the beginning.’ Sixty nine students of the TYBCom attended the talk.
