    Question Do we hire summer trainees?
    Answer 

    Yes we do. We believe that this is a good way of interacting with management institutes. This provides students with an in depth insight into the kind of work we do. Projects range from market research, supply chain studies, apparel operations based projects etc. We do prefer to visit campuses for picking up summer trainees. However wherever possible, especially for institutes outside Delhi, we ask interested students to send in their resumes. Interviews are then conducted for the short listed candidates. In case you are interested in doing a summer project with us next year, please email your resume at

    Question What are the kinds of projects that I can work on?
    Answer 

    Although individuals, especially at an associate consultant or consultant level will typically work on projects which are relevant to his or her background, there will be ample opportunity to work on areas in which he or she is not specialised. Consultants are consciously staffed on projects in a manner, which allows them not only to work with cross-functional teams but also to work on projects within the various service areas of the firm. People at a senior consultant level or above have sales targets and are also expected to cross-sell within service areas. Technopak offers not just consulting experience but experience in building brands like the Retail Summit, the Consumer Outlook, etc. with which we are often identified with.

    There is tremendous emphasis on learning and knowledge sharing within the organisation.

    Question   What are the work hours like?
    Answer  

    We start work early at 8: 30 a.m. This is not just an attempt to avoid rush hour traffic but also to plan our day well, before we start interacting with our clients. Work hours close at 5:30 p.m. We work five days a week. While the company does not insist on working on weekends, it expects work to be completed during the weekdays. Since clients increasingly expect very quick delivery of our efforts, therefore utilizing a Saturday to catch up with work is not unusual. We observe 9 days in a year as holidays. This is inclusive of National Holidays.
