Only if you know someone from the management. Review on Ashika Commodities & Derivatives Pvt Ltd

You will never grow up in d co, if you can not butter the management all d time; or you have some prior relationship with someone from d top management. You might be a scholar, having good product knowledge & experience, but nobody will care for your career growth unless & until you have any relationship with top Management. Every good designation is occupied by d relatives or family friends of d top management only... irrespective of their capability. I myself was offered d position of a "Tellecaller", & at that point of time I already completed my MCA n’ was just before 1 step through my 1st class regular MBA degree from a premier institution.

If you're a Bengali by cast, then you will never ever grow up in d org as a professional; you might be an excellent performer; but d wheel of your career or position will never ever move on. But if you are a Marwari or Jain, den d position will be little better; (as Management always judge a person by his/ her cast; not as a human being or by d professional expertise) but in order to achieve a respectable position in the organization, you has to hv some prior good relationship with top Mngment !

At every Ashika Group company, 1 n’ ONLY 1 thing matters in order to grow. How Well you Know the management Stuffs. So, naturally d career growth & job satisfaction is almost nil for a general but good performer. D CMD is very nice & well educated as a person but I wonder, why He never tries to make dis muddy situation better. May be He never bother about so silly things (!!) as His only concern is His org’s profit) He knew well that I was 1 among his top performers n’ everybody was aware about d hard fact that I was working with much lower position in respect of my performance, educational qualification n’ experience... but no 1 has utter a single word about dis ! Though d updated educational qualification, n’ professional experience has been taken by d HR team for 2/3 times.

So, what was d use of that at all ?Or it was just 4 d eye wash of d general employees? Some people with much lesser experience n’ qualification have been holding some very good positions only for d sake of their close prior relationship with d top Management . I have spent almost 3 years in 1 of d Ashika Group companies as an employee ; n’ every time I was ragged mentally by some of so called "Bosses". i.e, I was censured roughly by IT Head Mr. Rawat (frequently), 4 reaching d off. before time (!) n’ requesting him to on d server.

It is not possible to discuss each & every moment out there for almost 3 years as a general employee. But let me try to draw a small picture about how the management always differentiate between there employees -

1: The employees, basically from their own family/ some relatives of d top management/ from d family of some good & rich friends of top Management/ from some neighbours of d Management’s family... and, 2: D general employees - coming through some consultancy/ some referral of other general employee. Now, these two classes r treated by absolute different ways. Employees from d 1st class r treated as d "GOOD BOYS/ GIRLS" in every circumstances, irrespective of their performance or professional capability. Similarly, Employees belonging d 2nd class, has always been focused as d "VILLAINS" in front of top executives ! Well, as per d normal n’ expected outcome, people from d specified 1st class, r over confident about their job security & thus completely less bothered about their professional responsibilities, except PNPC & gossips. But can you imagine d situation of an excellent performer belonging d 2nd type of employees? D poor boy/ girl know well that he/ she will never achieve any respectable position may be what he/ she deserve strongly. There is no job security 4 him/ her; as he/ she is not any family member of d Management or some of their friends. Neither dey knew them before joining d org. So, they will always stand up 4 hanging; never mind, whether dey hv done anything wrong or committed any official offence!

Nobody will care about how serious & nice they are with their responsibilities.

Let me place a small example of d same here : My immediate boss was d daughter of d close friend of 1 of d founders. She got her position due to that relationship only; but she had neither d required educational qualification nor professional experience required for that designation. Still she was holding that position due to d relationship between her father & 1 of d founders.

No 1 even asked 4 a single time that why I was absent on d venue, when I was handling d entire inner matter from d very 1st day n’ was present in d office throughout d final day also as usual.

When I joined, I did not have any experience about Stock Broking industry at all.I was from a very good position of a leading multinational bank & I left my real good banking job; as I simply wanted 2 pursue with a regular MBA from some premier institution and that was entirely not possible from my position.So, I have decided 2 join a comparatively small but growing concern.I thought I am an excellent performer (Am not claiming dis; having written certificates from my every past employer ! ); & was sure about, I will get some fair scope 2 learn something as well as I could grow well within d org if I perform well, but I was a big fool. I have realized d story almost after 3 years that your capability & hard work just does not matter 4 d organization. No matter how excellent you are with your so called "Performance". The formula is - you can not achieve any good position if you r not any relative or some family member of some friend of top management ! secondly if you r a Bengali, u will never ever grow up in d organisation and that is final.

Unfortunately I still can’t think bad about ASHIKA group & I still respect 2 persons out there from d bottom of my heart due to their professional excellence & capability. Trust me World, dis two guys r almost dragging d entire brand on there own soldiers. The 1st 1 of them is honourable CMD Sir and 2nd 1 is honourable Director - Marketing. But d funniest thing is these 2 persons has hurt me bitterly at d same time :) I trust them blindly, always kept on thinking, at least these 2 people will evaluate my performance & capability properly; but I was a damn big fool.

I resigned from my ASHIKA group, as I was nothing but an educated & sophisticated servant for them, who was not authorized to grow up.

Thnx & regards,
