NITIE drama + masti

NITIE finally made me to visit Mumbai after 12 years.Those were great days in my last visit.

Reached Mumbai at 9 PM and ate pav bhaji first thing on landing :)
Finally UP waale bhaiyaji caught me and charged double auto fare to reach NITIE.My bad start:(
The arrangements there were cool but that 96 step climb was a bit difficult after being used to the lifts in the IT matrix.
Reached Audi at 8 AM along with fellow aspirants.
And then we had the presentations powered by Matrix backdrops and no AC.
Soon , I realized that it will be a long day for me , for I was in Panel 19.

Thanks to the seniors and the audi facilities ,where we were shown Mandi gyaan to start, some cricket mimics and finally the Dilbert strip.

Certificate verification at 12 PM made it even more interesting on the whole sarkaari tantra.
We were asked to leave for lunch and be back by 2PM for the GDs.
Finally, the process started for me :P

Topic :-
Can Indian brands become global ?

Number of Ppl present - 12
Panel Members - 6
Time:3 minutes(To read the case)+ 24 minutes (To discuss)+3 minutes (To conclude)
Brief Snapshot of Discussion:
Was 4th in the group.

Group Performance:
Everyone got a decent chance to present the views.But the active participation was from half the juta.The guy who started ,just started to give a start and concluded as he had to :)2 members in the last were just hogging on to others points and just copy +pasting IT ishtyle.

My Performance :
Gave lots of gyaan and had few one to ones with the junta
1)IT and Pharma sector brought India to globe
2)India bad in FMCG ,Cold drinks and Mfg
3)India still not good with Agri and Mfg
4)Bt Cotton and globalization (gosh what was I speaking)
5)Its not about that nly India is a part.We are all brick in the wall (koi gaana ga raha tha)

My corrections or fights :)
1)One guy started to contradict by calling HLL example for FMCG. (bhaiya bidesi company hai)
2)Another guy started contradicting someone on Mobile not getting manufactured in India by giving Airtel example (kahaan mobile banana ..kahaan network)
3)In the last a guy was telling IBM has not called India Centre of Excellence (IBM is not the Gods )

I just could not help myself and got moved a bit by emotions.
