‘Getting to work at VVF was a dream come true, because I wanted to work for the best in the business. I joined the Mumbai office in the midst of a global financial crisis, which created a work environment that was perfect for building a solid foundation to my career.

Every day I’m learning something, whether it’s about new products or the regulatory environment we operate in. I’ve also had the opportunity to attend numerous inspirational and informative training courses.

But more than that, it’s working with such a great team of people that not only enhances my working knowledge of the industry, but also helps me to develop both professionally and personally. In a company like VVF where there’s such a diversity of talent, working as a team not only helps your group operate on a daily basis - it’s crucial to helping you grow together in the long run.’

‘I started my professional career with VVF, and have been associated with the company since May 2012. My job demanded frequent interaction with employees in different functions, at various levels of hierarchy and with customers from international markets. It gave me a good understanding of the ground realities of the processes involved. This also helped to hone my people skills and develop multitasking abilities. At the same time, the techno-commercial projects assigned in parallel, enhanced my understanding of the industry & allowed me to put my academic knowledge to practice, hence creating a diverse learning experience for me.’

‘The freedom to take actions that is granted at VVF makes it a very special place to work. The depth of knowledge and expertise that our team of professionals bring to our business is very tangible, and this is what gives us our competitive edge. Another great thing about working here is that everyone is approachable and there is no red tape barring open communication.

My last two years working with VVF have been very enriching, gratifying and fulfilling. I was able to streamline the operations at our factories across India and was able to deliver superlatively in terms of productivity improvement, cost reduction, better work culture and superior customer service with a ‘felt leadership presence’ on the shop floor. As a professional, I could hone up my technical and managerial skills and at the same time, could acquire new skills such as stakeholder management and managing a bigger terrain of varied portfolios.’

‘My team members go out of their way to help each other. Over the last 22 years of my career, I have never experienced such a unique culture wherein both a personal touch and professional relationships coexist. Our R & D team has excellent people on board who handle team tasks very well.’

‘The culture is undergoing a transition to an environment where the focus is more on performance. I feel we get the freedom to take decisions, using our own professional judgement. Employees are held accountable, but not monitored on a day to day basis. I share a professional work relationship with my superiors as well as my team, and our focus is on RESULTS. Beyond my job, I enjoy a perfect work - life balance. I get the time to pursue my hobbies. Overall, I believe the job satisfaction and engagement levels at VVF are quite high.’

‘I have been in the company for 5 months now. My recruitment process was very smooth and well managed by the HR team. Currently, I work on end to end company travel requirements as opposed to a repetitive and single profile at my previous workplace. My learning has certainly been increasing every day due to the diverse nature of my work here. My seniors are very cooperative, and allow me freedom to excel in my role. Setting high standards is encouraged. My journey with VVF should be a long and fruitful one.’

‘VVF gives empowerment, taps talent and nurtures high potential employees. Today, I possess the ability as well as the missionary zeal to build and strengthen the conviction of top management to bring solutions that can enable and drive business efficiency and accuracy.’

‘VVF is a perfect place for someone looking for a challenging, fast growing environment with opportunities to take on bigger responsibilities and learn cross functional skills. The management team motivates you and ensures that your full potential is realized. It is a great place to learn, understand and execute. Since joining VVF, I have had an excellent professional journey as I progressed from a Management Trainee to an Assistant Manager. Being a part of the Accounts team, I had the opportunity to work in functions such as finalisation of accounts, audit, SAP, etc. My 5 years with VVF have been a challenging and enriching experience. It helped me in acquiring varied knowledge and skills. My colleagues have been always supportive no matter how busy they are.’
