training employees
Our employees are our first customers. It becomes imperative for them to understand the functioning of Grofers in and out. If you were to join us, this is the first thing we would ask of you. The purpose of this activity is to let the new employee understand us at every touchpoint.
We have a designated training team which runs an employee through the whole process of delighting the customer and handling complaints. After the completion of classroom training, the employees undergo on-the-job training, during which they have to implement all their learnings from the classroom sessions. The whole process requires a couple of weeks. The new joinees are then teamed up with existing employees on the basis of their personality traits. This allows them to settle in and also gives the existing employees a sense of responsibility. ‘Townhall’ is another activity which is conducted on a frequent basis. This is done to update everyone within the company (across all offices) about the growth and areas of improvement.

Customers For Life
The history of General Motors in India can be traced back to the 1920s, when it became the first automotive company to set up an assembly plant in the country. The relationship since then has not been as fruitful as GM would have hoped. GM’s flagship brand, Chevrolet, was introduced in India to build upon the success of the popular Opel marque. However, success has been fleeting at best—an issue that GM India is determined to rectify. It aims to do so by adopting a two-pronged approach: using customer feedback to influence product development, and delivering a superior sales-to-service experience.

Proponents of Isolation Never Become Victors
Multilateralism in the political and economic space has always led to frameworks that favor the mighty. WTO was no exception. With agriculture kept out of its purview, it could never become a truly fair and free trading system. China was the only large emerging economy that exploited relative openness in low-cost manufactured goods to take full advantage of the system. Other emerging economies could at best garner minor gains.

Custom Made
…three in four consumers said they receive too many emails from brands, and one-fifth said they could not handle the current volume…69 per cent have ‘unfollowed’ brands on social media, closed their accounts or cancelled subscriptions.*In these times, when the market is flooded with products and services, the most efficent way to engage customers is to offer them customized content.
