Acting Assistant Project Manager

“I started my professional career with Orel IT in 2012 as an Associate Image Processor. I chose Orel IT because it’s a rapidly growing company that provides employees with several opportunities for learning and development and also for gaining invaluable experience within a multinational team.

At Orel IT My Key focus was on the Image Annotation area. I have planned and executed numerous projects within the organization. I got a chance to work with great managers and exceptional leaders. I have learned a lot from them and I still learn something new each day. Before moving to a new role, I was managing the Quality Assurance team which includes- random quality checks, process control. I had a unique opportunity to collaborate with people from various departments working on different projects.

Orel IT provides an exemplary focus on people and presents opportunities for individuals to progress and develop across a range of diverse career paths

In July 2016 I moved to another role, as Executive Quality Assurance with 2 years in the teams of Quality management. Even though this role is much more challenging than the previous one, it opened the doors to more opportunities. I am very enthusiastic about taking up this new responsibility as my prior knowledge & experience have produced some excellent results. A combination of learning, on-the Job training, and the opportunity to work on many different critical projects with a diverse group of people has helped me to develop as an experienced person.

 

Then I moved up the ladder and became the Production Manager in the year 2019. And with my expertise and recognition, I was promptly appointed as the Assistant Project Manager the following year which is my Present role at Orel IT.

I strongly believe that Orel IT provides an exemplary focus on people and presents opportunities for individuals to progress and develop across a range of diverse career paths. The opportunity to engage in complex projects and work on the technology you desire along with the support of your team and superiors makes Orel IT an organization where you can build a long-term career.”

Corporate Analyst

The beginning of my first experience with Orel IT goes back 10 years. I still remember the day I stepped into this fascinating company as an Associate Image Processor. I think it was pure coincidence that I was selected by Orel IT for an internship. That was the start of my professional relationship with Orel IT. I was later selected for a contractual role as a Quality Leader.

Orel IT gives opportunities to people who deserve them.

The best thing that I have liked about Orel IT is the way they give opportunities to deserving people. I was offered a senior job role after performing well as an Associate Image Processor. What I admire about this organization is that many career-focused employees are allowed to be promoted to their preferred field of work. The opportunity is not only limited to this but is also extended through “Internal Job Postings”. HR provides a great opportunity to Orel IT employees to expand their horizons and undertake bigger assignments. I have been one of those who benefitted from being a Quality Leader and moved on to be a Business Analyst to take a step ahead in my career path. From being a leader to taking up a much more responsible job role, it has been my pleasure to take part in core projects. After spending 10 years at Orel IT I am currently working as a Corporate Analyst and it’s been a great learning experience so far.

 

The philosophy of Orel IT of valuing their workforce is not merely a statement but put in good practice and embedded in Orel IT Culture. Orel IT is surely a Great Place to Work.”

Orel IT has plenty of room for transformation in industry IT practices that have evolved through the years, getting better and better each year, making it a winning organization

In the year 2016, I moved from Project Implementations to actively involve myself in the Management of Quality Assurance. This indeed was a major change for me professionally. During the past 10 years, we specialized & excelled in Business and Project structure implementation. Here, the culture and practices pave a clear path for IT-savvy professionals to grow and innovate new ideas to apply to several industries. Through my various key initiatives and efforts, the teams were able to change, implement tasks to suit the Orel IT customer professional mode. The help and encouragement received from my peers as well as seniors kept me going through each difficulty faced through that journey of progress.”

 

Somewhere around 2017-2019, I moved on to handling a League as an Officer position. Through the years that I worked in all these positions, the workforce increased from 1000 to about 4500+. This was an evolution phase during which there was a tremendous amount of learning that I received.

10 years have passed and when I look back at the transformation of Orel IT and industry IT practices that have evolved through the years, getting better and better each year, making it a winning organization, I couldn’t have been any prouder.”

I joined Orel IT in 2011 as a college fresher. For a person straight out of college, the professional world can be quite intimidating. It is also important to work with the right organization, especially at the start of your career, as it is the first and the most important building block to constructing a successful professional life in the future. I feel Orel IT has provided me with everything that a novice could ask for – a great brand name, constant guidance, proficient leaders, and a team that is always ready to help.
