Titan – My University

Many of us (ex-Titanians) left Titan at least half a decade back yet when we hear some one around us muttering the word ‘Titan’ or when we read it on the news lines, we mechanically get dragged into our finest days of work life.

Some of the members in this ex-titan group akin to me joined the giant in their teens. We had never expected our life would take these interesting twist and turns in both career and personal life, that we have experienced so far. After spending several years in subsequent organizations, many of us would agree that the learning and experience which we gained during our tenure at Titan is incomparable and difficult to be repeated or simulated in another work place.

We achieved key milestones in life during our Titan days – academic excellence, adolescent to youth or youth to adult evolution, finding our better-half(!), accumulating wealth, career progression, professional acquaintance, etc. After spending 11 years in Titan, I left the organization a decade back. I always love to proudly mention Titan as ‘Not just an organization, it’s my University’. It’s true that we learnt all key skills that we have mastered today only from Titan University.

This is my humble attempt to share with you our collective Titan experience, in my own perspective. My original thoughts usually flow in Tamil (posted at http://youmeandtitan.blogspot.com). English version would hit your mailbox with a delay if you subscribe to guruzinbox@gmail.com. Though it’s not a verbatim translation from Tamil to English, I wish to ensure the essence is not missed. As you might appreciate the fact that Chennai based Mani Ratnam’s Ravanan (Tamil) was rated as better presented than Ravan (Hindi) by his bi-lingual fans, give me that allowance too.

I dedicate this blog to the noble man Mr. Ratan Tata and his colleagues who brilliantly ensured Tata’s corporate objectives were met precisely the way it ought to be. This includes all ex-Titanians and Titanians who still strive for the success of this University.
