Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal recently shared his perspective on career advancement, challenging the traditional notion that promotions are tied to tenure. “Someone asked me—‘What’s the best way to get promoted at work?’” Mittal recalled. “It got me thinking—when and why should someone really get promoted?” The founder & CEO of People Group, has played a key role in shaping successful brands like Shaadi.com, Makaan.com, and Mauj Mobile.

While the sector has lagged the broader market in recent months, Motilal Oswal sees this slump as a selective buying opportunity, driven by an expected demand recovery and easing inflation that could set the stage for a rebound.

Jewellery stocks have gained traction over the past week after failing to earn returns in the previous three months. The stocks were under pressure on account of concerns over rising gold prices which may affect demand. However, companies expect to maintain the growth momentum in the March quarter as high prices are likely to support the top-line growth amid slower volume growth. Store expansion and rising average transaction values are key growth drivers for the sector.

Fluctuating gold prices continue to be a double-edged sword for jewellery retailers. While higher prices boost revenue, they also impact affordability leading to softer volume growth.

The original poster (OP) detailed their experience of being approached for a senior role that seemed promising in terms of pay and benefits. However, after submitting their CV, they were informed of an extensive three-stage interview process. The first round included a video call with the hiring manager and HR to discuss past experience—something the OP found reasonable.

Finally, the third round demanded participation in a group project with other candidates, technical aptitude tests, and another round of interviews with senior management and HR. At that point, the OP withdrew their application, stating, «I’m sorry, I’m not participating in normalizing this ridiculous HR-driven process for positions all the way up the ladder.» They later found another role with a much simpler hiring process—a single in-person interview with technical questions—which turned out to be «the best job I’ve ever had, on more money than the initial role.»
