The Recruiting Officer


The Parthenon Group

I am Aakash Budhiraja, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering from IIT Delhi
and I would like to express my enthusiasm for the position of an Associate at the “Parthenon Group”.

As an individual, who is constantly driven by the curiosity to learn and explore new things, I hold a simple
belief that life is a journey where one should be ready to learn at each and every step. In this respect the
quintessential student in me has kept me in good stead. From what I have been able to gauge about
Management Consulting through interactions with seniors and in company presentations, each day is an
entirely new challenge in itself, thus keeping that student alive. Additionally, the idea of being able to travel
around the world to work with top business honchos, simultaneously ensuring exposure to a wide variety
of businesses in the growing stages of my career sounds really fascinating to me, further reaffirming my
faith in consulting as the path ahead for me.

Considering my experience at IIT, be it the managerial roles I have essayed, or the myriad of activities I
have been involved in on a regular basis, or my internships, I have single handedly envisioned and executed
several cutting edge projects. Through persistent efforts, I have consistently delivered innovative solutions
whose success has not been limited only to the work at hand, but has also stimulated impact beyond the
direct scope of my work. To quote an example, I worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers in the recent summers,
where I had the opportunity to work in the Ports sector. The work required me to prepare a comprehensive
report on the current scenario of the industry to help clients assess their position globally and accelerate
their growth. This report was appreciated by my Director and has been deployed for client development
activity at multiple levels in the organization. I would also like to point out the fact that I have repeatedly
been entrusted with the highest positions in Marketing in student festivals of IIT Delhi. Both in Rendezvous
and Sportech, I have set new benchmarks of performance and professionalism in the multi-tier teams I have
led. The strategies that I implemented have generated sponsorships in excess of a crore and helped establish
a pan-India presence of the fests. At the same time, I have ensured that my team members learn and grow
at the same pace at which the magnitude of the festivals has been increasing. As much as I have contributed
to these activities, my experiences with them have been gratifying and highly rewarding in terms of my
personal development as these engagements have helped me develop immensely upon my communication
and presentation skills. In retrospect, the journey has been overwhelming till date and the intense
interactions with hundreds of sponsors over the last 2 years have helped shape me into the calm,
understanding and strong headed personality I am.

As to why Parthenon, it’s been a fascinating exercise to discover the portfolios the company specializes in,
especially since the education space is something I eventually envision myself in because of the sheer
number of opportunities available here. Also the immense potential of education in alleviating the
problems of our society is intriguing. One of the major attractions has also been the two case model
followed at Parthenon. As a consequence of that, the work, even though intense, comes with an enriching
learning experience which I am eagerly looking forward to. Finally, since work at Parthenon is driven by
an entrepreneurial and liberal mindset, and that all individuals are equally valued and respected, I believe
that working at such a place would be the ideal platform to gain an unparalleled exposure across a
spectrum of organizations and help me achieve my goals.

I request you to consider my application with all due seriousness and give me a chance to prove my worth
to you, just like I have time and again to others in the past.

Yours Sincerely
Aakash Budhiraja
