As the first step of our journey at Luxury connect business school,
there was a proficient induction programme spread over three days. It was
designed especially for students like us who are at the doorstep of luxury
industry. We not only learnt about the emerging trends in different luxury
sectors and consumers but we also got a chance to glimpse into the life of industry professionals. With the aim
to go beyond the classroom learning and widen the students' perspective of luxury sector We were taken to DLF Emporio
mall where we were warmly welcomed by the staff of brands such as Christian
Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cornelliani, Armani junior amongst others. Each one of
them took us through the journey of the brand, explained about the merchandise
and the customers base. Everyone we met there were very dynamic and
enthusiastic about their work. It was very interesting to learn about the heritage
and culture of different brands. It was great to connect ourselves with
experienced professionals of luxury industry and already feel like a part of
it.
We also had the pleasure to meet some of
the alumni of previous batch. While sharing their experience of studying
at LCBS, each of them stressed the fact
that because of the efficient learning and guidance that they received from
LCBS they are well placed with very well know luxury brands and are very
confident of doing well in their careers
Finally, we had the pleasure to have
amongst us two of very talented pioneers of the industry wo doing very well in
their sectors-Mr. Rolf Blaser, who is the country manager of SAFILO India Pvt.
Ltd.; and Ms. Nalini Gupta, Ex Country
Manager of Burberry India. They gave core insights of emerging conditions in
Luxury sector and also shared their journey of becoming successful managers. It
was very wonderful to have both of them with us in a very interactive session.
In a nutshell, I would like to say that the
induction programme helped us in getting a true picture of luxury sector.
