Associate Consultant, Consultant, Senior Consultant, Manager, Associate Director, Principal) reporting is mainly project based.

There could be occasions when an individual could be working for more than one project at a time. |

| Question 6. | Do we hire summer trainees? |
| Answer 6. | 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 recruit@technopak.com. |
|
| Question 7. | What are the kinds of projects that I can work on? |
| Answer 7. | 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. |

|
| Question 9. | What is the focus of training in the organisation? |
| Answer 9. | There is tremendous emphasis on learning and knowledge sharing within the organisation. Besides the more formal training programmes and other external and internal training programmes coordinated by the HR Department, a lot of training is imparted while working on projects and while conducting workshops for clients. We believe that by working on projects and by managing key events as a team, we successfully bring out the best leadership qualities in our people. |
|
| Question 10. | What are the work hours like? |
| Answer 10. | 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. It is a five and a half day workweek. 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. |
