When I joined in 2018, I didn\u2019t have any knowledge about Human Resource Management, as I come from a Commerce background. Expectedly, the first few months were a little difficult. It took me a while, but I learnt the ropes soon, thanks to my incredible managers. From Sourcing & Screening of job applicants to Salary Negotiation, I undertook all the steps related to onboarding talent. I have explored multiple functions like HR Operations, Payroll, etc at Ninjacart. My managers gave me the responsibility to conduct hiring in Tier 1 and 2 cities, which allowed me to travel the length and breadth of India. My seniors always pushed me to be a better person. The boost in confidence that I got from Ninjacart will help me survive anywhere. This experience has made me fall in love with Ninjacart.<\/span><\/p>\n I feel proud of the work I do because the company supports farmers and agriculture students. Ninjacart is making a difference in farmers\u2019 lives by helping them sell their produce. We adopt fair practices to get them the best price for their harvest. From a recruiter\u2019s perspective, I have recently taken so many interviews where I placed and hired people from farming backgrounds in Ninjacart. So, I feel a sense of achievement that I am making a difference in a farmers\u2019 life and the community in general.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI feel a lot of empathy for the condition of farmers & their families in our country. It might not be huge, but I am somehow positively impacting the growth of their financial condition through my company. So, I feel much satisfaction in my job which gives me meaning and a larger purpose.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n My role at Ninjacart gives me a lot of challenges. Not only do I get to work on assigned roles like recruitment, but my manager also gives me free hand to work on new projects like \u2014 OKR, KPI, Field recruitment, ATS tool, hiring and giving more opportunities to women in the field, etc. So far, I have succeeded in doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n My managers, Kenneth and Jessie, have always created a safe place for failure and success. They let me figure things out for myself and conduct my operations as per my comfort. Whenever I faced difficulty, they were always there to rectify and share the feedback to smoothen everything. At Ninjacart, your supervisors\u00a0 always show the right path to success.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn the span of 3 years at Ninjacart, I have received 4 promotions and am strongly moving forward. I see my career growing exponentially in the coming years to the leadership level. It became possible, thanks to Kenneth, my manager. I\u2019m blessed to have him as my mentor \u2014 he makes my work easy, convenient, smooth, understandable & achievable to grow to new heights. He understands both professional and personal aspects of his reportees and supports them to do things accordingly.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Everything brings me joy at Ninjacart, it\u2019s a fun and happy workplace to be in. Our new initiatives, new processes and projects, meeting new people every day, understanding departments\u2019 processes, everything that makes up my job, excites me.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, what brought me joy was figuring out innovative ways to conduct my job when the Covid-19 outbreak happened. We launched virtual interviews, and then we launched \u2018COVID Benefits\u2019 and \u2018COVID Passes\u2019 where we helped candidates get placed and took other stakeholders\u2019 help in the hiring of the field executives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Also, one of the most joyful things I did was to call and cajole all our employees to take the Covid-19 vaccine as per the COVID drive we conducted through our company. Contributing to their health on such a personal level made me very happy and gave me a sense of accomplishment.<\/span><\/p>\n The supervisors and the management are friendly and approachable. We have the freedom to present our perspectives. While they educate us and nourish our skills, they are always ready to take suggestions from the juniors. With their leadership, it feels good to work here. Working at Ninjacart has helped me grow and develop my career. The management recognizes your efforts and gives awards and other benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI received the \u2018Game changer award\u2019 from our co-founder and CEO Thiru for bringing a revolutionary innovation & ideas that made a tremendous impact to the growth of the company. I was presented this award because I supported cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai for successfully closing the mass hiring and smoothing the hiring process.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Featuring<\/em> My managers, Kenneth and Jessie, have always created a safe place for failure and success.
