Dear Friends :
Just uploaded :
L&T Story - 4
I , once again , urge you to send to me ( hcp@RecruitGuru.com ) , your own memories
/ instances of L&T , for uploading on www.hemenparekh.in
I am sure each one of you cherish some such incidences worth
recording
Read together , these stories will tell the World ( at least ,
the Indian Business World ) , the Values , the Business Ethics , the Management
Practices , that we all imbibed and nurtured
I have read many books about great companies like Google / Apple
/ Microsoft / IBM / General Motors etc., but I have not come across any which
was a result of a collaborative effort of its past employees - themselves as
" Characters " of the play !
Who will remember - and preserve L&T
legacy - when we are all gone ?
We owe to the current and the next generation of engineers /
managers , what went into making of this GREAT company - the pride of India
If you come forward to add your own contribution , L&T STORY , can become a case study
for the IIMs / MBA colleges around the country
One last thing :
You need not add your story as a " thread " to the
email started by HRS ( - after a while , it may become ONE MILE long ! )
Just send it to me
I will inform everybody , after uploading
And like , true blue-blooded L&T-ites , set " Targets /
Schedules " for your contributions !
with regards,
hcp / (M) 0 - 98,67,55,08,08
PS :
From my ADMIN page ( on Blogger ) , I found that , yesterday 45 of us visited / read , L&T Story - 3
There must be many other L&T-ites , who you know but are NOT
covered by this mailing list
Pl do forward this invitation to them and encourage them to
contribute

My
Presentation Skills
Sometime in
1993, VH Iyer brought some Materials Management guys attending some training
program to Powai and asked me to explain our systems to them.
I had full knowledge
of the system but zero presentation skills. I completed the presentation
in one or two sentences and told them to ask questions.
I was so
embarrassed by my inability that I vowed to myself to develop.
The
opportunity came soon, courtesy Mr VS Shiroor to whom I was reporting to from
1.4.1981 till 29.4.2000 – in the department named Data Processing Section,
later upgraded to Switchgear Information Systems.
In 90s, NITIE at
Powai used to conduct Materials Management Training Program, duration being 5
days. L&T PSW were allotted some 3 hour slot to explain our systems,
by far the best in the industry as far as I am aware. Mr Shiroor made one
or two presentations.
When he had an
opportunity to make the next one, I requested him to allow me to accompany him
as an observer, to which he readily agreed.
The next time
such the opportunity came I asked him “Can you allow me to take this session?”
Without hesitation, he did. I did a wonderful job; I did not mess up like
the first time.
I also told Mr
Shiroor one more thing. “I know they offer an honorarium (it was some Rs
300 for the 3 hour session). Apart from the experience of developing
presentation skills, I need that extra money too (all 3 children were studying
engineering at various stages at that time)”.
For the next 5
years or so, I did those presentations and earned those few extra bucks.
An
unforgettable generosity on the part of Mr Shiroor – one of the many!
