Sarath Menon, the Thrissur boy from SCMS Cochin, gains a strong foothold into the retail industry with lucrative campus placement.

“No journey in life is completely smooth; it all depends on how quickly you adapt to the rough tide and win the race,” says Sarath, an SCMS Cochin student talking about his academic journey with the institute. The young boy from Thrissur admits that he found the going tough initially after he joined the B School that he had heard a lot about. Eventually, with his perseverance and with support from the institute, he managed to turn things around for himself. So much so, that now he’s on a new high after having bagged placement with Madura Fashion and Lifestyle.

Sarath will be going through a six-month training program with the company after which he has brilliant opportunities to widen his horizons. It’s something he is obviously thrilled about as he says, “There is tremendous opportunity to learn and grow with the company. I would like to gain good knowledge about retailing, and make a good impression at my work place. Only then will I be able to move up the ladder in the industry, which is what I want. I would also boost my marketing skills while I am at it.”
