First Day At Work

Well, it’s good to say that I am finally employed now. Feels very nice, and even though I joined Chaupaati Bazaar only yesterday, the atmosphere here is very enriching. From day one itself I am already in the loop of all things. Being given updates on everything really makes me wonder how tightly knit start ups are. The calls have been flooding in and my new Chaupaati Id is beginning to complain about the HUGE stack of mails that have been flowing in from the second it was created. On one hand, seeing that almost bursting mailbox gives me hope that there is a bright future for me in digital advertising industry, but on the other hand it scares me seeing the volume of work that will eventually come to me.

As a part of our Digital Advertising module at XIC, we had done a campaign on Google Ad Words, but it was only yesterday that I realized that our seemingly pointless campaign helped Chaupaati convert our click through to actual sales figures. From yesterday I have begun to look at each and every suggestion that I make to the team very very carefully. Because now I know that every suggestion has the potential to be a successful idea and every idea can be converted into money. In addition to learning a new bunch of things that I did not know before, I have also been made aware of the fact that from this point onwards I am collectively responsible for running a part of Chaupaati. That is a good feeling. Plus Saturday and Sunday are my weekly offs!

It is good to work here, I have been able to make the most of it till now and I am given an opportunity to better myself every day. I guess I attribute my comfort at work to the entire team. Especially to Kashyap, Zishaan and Amit, all of whom made me feel welcome.

It was an awesome first day and I look forward to many more such days at Chaupaati!
