"My experience with the C2C program has been transformative. The program provided valuable exposure to the IT industry, allowing me to learn new languages and enhance my communication skills. It facilitated my transition from campus to corporate life by equipping me with in-depth knowledge and insights into emerging technologies. I acquired proficiency in Java, SQL, Python, UI, and essential power skills, which have been instrumental in my career growth. Learning effective client handling was a game-changer.

"The program challenged me to think differently and gave me the chance to learn directly from our senior leaders. I also got an opportunity to interact with our CXOs and it was incredibly enriching. Their real-world experiences, practical advice, and mentorship provided us with a deeper understanding of leadership dynamics and organizational strategy. The program wasn’t just theory - We worked on action learning projects where we were able to apply the concepts learned, in a practical setting. The program encouraged self-reflection, continuous learning, networking, self-branding, and career navigation.
