Logging Off from Accenture

This is a small portion of my journey called Life.

I was more than delighted when Accenture offered me a job (though not the first one) in campus selection and I couldn’t resist myself throwing grand party to my friends. Off course the party was a Wet one. Joining the Big league as an ASE, I was trained in SAP ABAP like many others. Soon after I was absorbed in a project (Wolseley). Thanks to Vijay for that. As an ASE I learnt a lot, guided by Srilatha and others my learning curve only became exponential.

I was quiet unfortunate that I couldn’t work in any project for a long duration but project was never a shortage in Accenture until the great recession of 2008 while we were put to ITP( Bench ). It was a tough time for all of us but never felt insecure of my job. We kept updating ourselves and there was no shortage of trainings. It was the HR ABAP boot camp and Sourav who had the confidence in me and absorbed me in Newcrest. I am great full to Sishir for providing me the opportunity to work in Newcrest. It was The Project where my learning curve became the steepest. Though it was hectic sometimes but we did party harder. Rest about Newcrest is history.

I made a lot of friends in Accenture and all of them have only enriched me with knowledge. Nilanjan, from the Newcrest days have guided me in many critical objects and situations that I faced in my personal life and continue to do so. Srilatha has taught me innumerous things about ABAP. Friends with whom I played for Accenture corporate football tournaments and worked out in the office gym have helped me to grow. The GPTW events were the most memorable ones; I have taken a lot of Photographs and shared with many of you. The adventure trip to Dandeli only added new persons to my friend list and what an adventure we had while rafting. The office parties that I attended during my tenure will always have a special place in my memory, there were so many of them.

And today when I am logging off from this wonderful organization my heart is heavy. I will miss all of you and working in this wonderful place called Accenture HDC. Due to some family constraints I have to go back near my home town for now. But I believe this is not the end of the road and our paths will intersect again in near future.

All of you have a special place in my heart and I will love to keep in touch with you. Please write to me at bodhisattva24@gmail.com . I will update you all with my changed phone number once I have it.

Cheers
