Let me start with a short commercial Ad of Religare.
So here in the video we saw that helping is an inane quality that we have inculcated in ourselves right from the childhood. Religare as a company also follows somewhat same ideology in their work processes across all the verticals.
To give a Background of Religare Enterprises limited, It is an Indian company with verticals ranging from hospitals,Pharmaceuticals, Voyages, Art and Financial Services such as asset management,
lending solutions, investment banking and wealth management. With a
network of over 2,200 business centres across 550 plus locations, and
more than a million clients, REL enjoys a dominant presence in the
Indian financial services space.
Being a totally core Indian company, It has employees across all regions, caste and creed which gives a diverse culture to it and progressive learning is something that Religare preaches a lot. Lots of emphasis is given on Training and grooming the employee so as to compete with the best in the market and as in the Service Industry the employee is the Face of the company, Religare wants to portray itself as a company in professional acumen and competent minds across the industry.
Religare has a company follows a Hierarchical Culture with Chairman at the top, followed by CEO then comes the Regional Heads and the Area Manager then comes the front end / executives. But being a hierarchical company it did not stop us from reaching to even the HR director/CEO of our company if we wanted to communicate some thoughts/ideas to them which would of a significant value to the company and also a feedback (if any) was promptly replied and taken care with utmost importance, this is something I used to and still appreciate a lot about Religare.
Long working hours were the core part of our job as we dealt with sales and marketing with daily meetings on targets and reviews which made sure that there is diligence and competence in our colleagues, the prime focus was on customer's satisfaction and delight as being in financial industry where in u deal with money which is the most sensitive asset/earnings of any individuals and Trust is something that was not Compromised. But Being a 5 day working culture we were asked to come on saturdays in casuals for an informal meet where usually we would end up in team lunch and this where no business was discussed but other interesting topics/ personal took the charge and shared lots of light moments with our bosses, which I feel is very necessary to build a bond amongst the team members including our Associate Vice President.
During a Townhall in Bangalore I got to attend the speech of our CEO Mr. Kavi Arora, who shared his views on how difficult situation they dealt with in recession in 2008 and enforced a contradictory ideology of aggressively lending with an exception than any of the competitors and which reaped its benefits 2 years later and they took the first mover's advantage by taking calculated risks and are amongst the leaders in broking and non-banking lending business, So there I learned that risk taking ability is something very crucial to any company who wants to progress.
On a lighter note, our company followed a strict vegetarian rule and employees were not allowed to bring Non-Veg food in the office premises, which I think is a bit on a harsh side,but being a vegetarian it didn't bothered me but there were some upset faces initially but then people used to have non-veg food in nearby hotels.
