A Day in the life of Tarun Mathur - Assistant Manager - Premium Channel, Credit Cards Division

When the sun paints the world with all the bright hues, I wake up and perform my morning duties and after paying my obeisance to the Almighty, I start off for the day with my right foot forward. With a good breakfast under my belt I feel fortified and step out to face the various challenges the day has to offer.

As I sit in the car I plan out my day according to the Five Golden Questions: -

  • What is the agenda for the day?
  • What is on the high priority list?
  • Who all to meet and when?
  • Why should there be no excuses to meet the self set targets for the day?
  • Which areas to tap for business development?

After a drive through the challenging BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) accompanied by the mindless banter on Radio Mirchi I reach the office in an upbeat enthusiastic mood. With a quick cheery good morning to all I take a deep breath and handover the previous day’s complete applications to my manager. This is followed by my pursuing the cases or following up with them on the phone. As usual I get some and I loose some! But my belief remains - nothing ventured nothing gained. Thus with hope in my heart and a smile on my face I steadily make inroads even with some very difficult clients and generally meet with success.

A quick bite and I’m on my job again. The best part of this job is that one gets to meet plenty of people and one realizes the truth of the adage "It takes all sorts to make the world"

By the time the long shadows of the evening fall either I am ready to report back to the office or if it gets very late then I head home. Usually I never leave the client’s office without success either in the form of a complete application or a string of references or both!!

All this is only possible because I have the privilege of being associated with a team which has a leader who leads from the front ala M.S. Dhoni. I am grateful and obliged that my managers have shown such faith in my efforts and continue to let me pursue my work enthusiastically and dedicatedly while providing whole-hearted support.
