Mumbai, July 7, 2016:
Godrej Industries Limited and Associate Companies (GILAC) begin the 5th
edition of Godrej LOUD (Live Out Ur Dream) 2016, a campus hiring
engagement for young and talented b-school students to fulfil their
personal dreams. Winners of LOUD get a sponsorship of INR 1.5 lakhs and
an offer into Godrej’s internship programme.
Godrej LOUD 2016 was launched today, at NITIE, Mumbai, by Mr. Sunil Kataria, Business
Head - India and SAARC, Godrej Consumer Products Limited and Mr.
Parmesh Shahani, Head - Godrej India Culture Lab. Over the next five
weeks, the Godrej LOUD team will visit SP
Jain, Mumbai; TISS, Mumbai; SIBM, Pune; SCMHRD, Pune; IIFT, Delhi; IIM,
Kozikhode; FMS, Delhi; XIM, Bhubaneswar; MDI, Gurgaon; IIM, Ahmedabad;
and IRMA, Anand to find passionate first year students.
Ms. Nisaba Godrej, Executive Director, Godrej Consumer Products Limited said, "Godrej
LOUD is our way of finding passionate young leaders. We believe that if
someone is really passionate about something, even if it has nothing to
do with what we do, it is likely they will bring that drive with them
to Godrej."
Mr. Sumit Mitra, Head, Group Human Resources & Corporate Services said, “In the past four years we have heard 5,055
dreams and helped 28 winners live theirs. This year we intend to take
that number to newer heights and bring more students into our fold of
dreamers, doers and achievers. We are inspired by the enthusiasm and
participation we receive every year as students welcome our Godrej LOUD
team to their campus.”
Last
year, the initiative saw a tremendous response with over 2,300
applications, a 40 per cent increase from 2014. Fourteen finalists were
shortlisted to share their dreams at the Godrej Headquarters in Mumbai
and six winners got the opportunity to live out their dreams.
Some of the winning dreamers from the past years have received funds to design
daily living aids for people with impaired limb functions, create a
music video in the Himalayas and even take a trip to visit the major
sites of World War II in Auschwitz, Normandy and Berlin.
