Krithi Thangamma
Associate - Training & Engagement
Hey, I am krithi!!š I am the Training and Engagement Associate here at MARG. My experience in MARG has in itself been a transformation journey. As my prior experience was in Edtech ( where I was more into customer-centric roles ) and in MARG, it had more to do with the training. So I somewhere had to unlearn and relearn my current profile. Initially getting a hold of my new profile was quite challenging, but now the journey looks smooth with fewer roadblocks. Looking forward to a more fruitful journey.
