Yesterday the 9th of April marked an end of milestone, I finally bid farewell to my career with Genpact after 2 years of service with Genpact. My association with Genpact started as early as October 2005, when it was still a GE company and was getting enchristened as Genpact post the strategic sale; this association was on back of my closest friends & couple of engineering mates joining Ge. In Decemeber 2005, came to know about the whole BPO industry, its offerings and where Genpact stood during my non-credit classes. The sessions where conducted by our IIM Alumni Sanjeev Singh, who was then Collections COE leader at Genpact; Others included Amit Agarwal(presently Quality Head), Shuba Laksmi(Global HR VP), Ritu Rekha(transition) and couple more handling each and every aspect of the industry. Then subsequently joined the company which I always wanted to be part of. My HR-AVP was the part of the two-member recruitment team which visited us for recruitment.
Anyways two years of learning, growth - personal & professional seen it all and expereinced it all to express and blog it today. Though not the best of expereinces in the overall perspective, it would hold a special place in my heart always for many years to come. Lots of people then questioned and challenged my intent of joining Genpact, but I don't regret it either.
I cherished a few praises I liked a lot from my collegues
"A very Genuine guy at heart"
" A person of heart who feels for others"
" I've never seen such a Genuine and open hearted guy in my professional life"
" Very straight and onto the point - Absolutely no sugar-coating when you express your thoughts"
"You have been a great friend and we certainly shared a great working relationship… Though our interactions have been much, I want you to know that I have a high regard for the expertise that you bring along… Needless to mention, I do look up to you…"
"Your quiting was a shock to our team, we always looked forward to you for inspiration'
Touchy sentences, though I have not been able to touch a lot of people, but I am happy people took me close to their heart, and where open hearted, and shared bonding at a personal level than at a professional level.
For long I might have craved to move out of the compay, the time has come for me to take that step out, out from comfort and try and experiment new things and new life. As I step forward into an uncertain future I carry with my self a heavy heart, and oblivion within yearing to be filled. Am just short of tears as I was stepping out, trying to be as optimistic as I can and as I write this blog.
I pray that my stint with Genpact never goes waste, and hope that whosoever I was involved with and I joined in for make the best of the same and be sucessful than ever.

Swaroop,
I do not agree with you. I think you were working in isolation and had nothing to do with the management, policy and processes etc .... otherwise you could have different opinion. You have written this blog with some vested interested. I have worked with Genpact for more than 6 years in couple of roles .. I strongly believe you got carried way with false feedback which you got during your tenure. You are talking about a very minor thing like your appreciation against the organisation. This is not the right way of comparing the organisation performance and it's pro employee policies. Let me give one example ....
Pramod Bhasin and his team are ruining the careers of many folks just for their own personal gain.
Currently they are hiring 60 freshers with intension that all 60 folks will be on probation for 6 months with a meagre stipen of Rs. 6000/PM. If they become billable during probation period, well and good otherwise they will be shown exit door citing the performance issue.
What Genpact is doing here, they are destroying the career of folks who have not yet started just for the sake of showing good profitibility numbers to their shareholders. Think of a candidate who will be laid off after 6 months for no fault of his/her because he /she is not billable, candidate will be neither a fresher nor experience holder because his/her services will be terminated.
This is not happening only with fresher, Genpact is also playing big game with experience holders. They pay good salary when they need the folks and once project is over and they loose to some other company which happens very frequently, employee will be terminated or forced to resign. They will force HR to rate poor the performace the folks who are not billable
