Accenture is a top employer in India and the Focus India delegation was privileged to visit the prestigious Mumbai office, with 8000+ employees, one of the six Accenture locations in India. After an HR presentation, the delegation was treated to a hands-on demonstration of a live video conference with Accenture, Bangalore using the latest technologies. We were able to interact by asking questions to Accenture Bangalore.
The third part illustrated an example of a global project case study based on a client in Switzerland where the Accenture Bangalore team members are able to use their intercultural expertise. We finished our visit with an appetising Indian lunch in the Accenture staff canteen followed by a drive to BBDO through rich suburbs contrasted by the Dharavi slums, one of the largest slums in the world.
BBDO is a young advertisement agency located in Mumbai. The young team told us about exciting and cutting-edge projects and stories. They gave us an example where they not only developed an ad but a whole movement inspiring Indians to donate books for under-privileged children, forming the «Aviva Great Wall of Education». We felt that for BBDO it is important to create great Acts, not only Ads. BBDO also tries to explore the “edges” of communication, which despite being sometimes risky, on many occasions has sparked the consumers’ passion.
We would like to thank our main Sponsor Accenture first of all for supporting this project and enable our students to experience this unique country and for hosting us.
