Excerpts from an interview with Ambrash Kanna R — May 2020
Ambrash Kanna R shares his first impressions of BSKC, the skills he picked up in his first year, what he likes about the workplace, and his goal of pursuing ACCA.
Tell us briefly about your first day at BSKC.
My first day at BSKC was a way out of many bottlenecks I had been facing. I experienced a lot of positive vibes at work and consider myself lucky to have come a long way since then. The very first thing that caught my attention was the proverb displayed at the reception which read “No stupid people beyond this point”. It was a privilege to be allowed in. I felt motivated to do well in my work.
What have you learnt in your 1st year at BSKC?
In the past one year, I have acquired a few important skills such as problem solving skills and basic accounting skills. I have also learnt to observe and improve my understanding capabilities. Most importantly, I have learnt that “It is hard to beat a person who NEVER GIVES UP”. This learning has been effective in my personal life as well.
What are the few things you like about the workplace?
I quite enjoy the work environment, the infrastructure and the work culture. Most of all I like the fact that we do not beat ourselves over our mistakes. Rather, we learn from them.
What according to you are areas of improvement at BSKC?
In my view, we have all been provided with a good work environment to enable effectiveness and efficiency. Self-improvement would be the key to utilise this opportunity to the maximum.
Any personal benefits, as a result of being at BSKC that you would like to share with us?
I have been able to live close to my family and achieve a good work-life balance while also being able to save a substantial sum of money. I foresee a good career for myself and have an intense desire to do well professionally.
How would you describe your professional goal?
I wish to enrol for ACCA and complete it. Over the past few months, I have observed and learnt from my Seniors how to set a goal for oneself and work towards it with full focus. Whether or not I succeed, time alone will tell. But I will do my best.
