Having joined Hughes Software Systems as Asst. Manager in 2002 , I have grown along with the organization as it moved from being Hughes to Flextronics to Aricent. The growth path over the years has been full of challenges and has offered me a vast breadth of opportunities. I have got the opportunity to work on both Regional and Technology Segment Business development with P & L (revenues and margin) ownership. It involves creating and growing Segment practices for Wireless & Convergence and Security Services space with Telecom OEMs and Service providers. My work profile offers me challenging assignments comprising Account mapping, business development, pre-sales, negotiations and contract discussions.
The congenial environment at Aricent has always inspired me to take up new initiatives and to be innovative. All in all, Aricent is a great place to work and mature as a thorough professional and as an individual.

Great place to work. It provides immense opportunity to learn and develop. My role is Business Development where it’s a challenge to get new business and out beat competitors. The role demands good knowledge of the market, strategy, client relationships and above all a good analysis. The tasks provide demanding challenges which really excites me. Here the responsibility is owned completely by oneself and freedom is provided to complete the tasks in the best possible way. It’s a great place for Career development as the growth path is clear and one can discuss it out with anyone in the hierarchy. The culture is very open and one gets opportunities to meet and interact with the top management. I would recommend Aricent to be one of the best places to work and kick start the career after B-school.
