WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK AT KEY DIFFERENCE?Let your imagination run the wildest on an ideal work set-up…Imagine exchanging ideas and jokes with some of the knowledgeable, down-to-earth, but most devoted people in the world…

Getting the most innovative ideas in the world of business and technology even before they hit the streets...

Having the top man and your peers listen to even your most far-out ideas…

Being encouraged and mentored for all you need to reach your creative peak...

Warning: This job is so self-fulfilling and stress-free that most CEOs in the traditional business world are curious to see how this set-up works…

But this is just the beginning of the KEY DIFFERENCE tour...

AT KEY DIFFERENCE, WE BELIEVE WORK IS TABOO..Work at KDM is like having your choice of different delicious meals on a rotating server - spicily challenging, chewy educational, sweetly comforting, and others just so undefined in their appearance that you need just to taste them! Anticipating the daily different varieties, you jump out of bed each morning to start out on a new ‘gourmet’ adventure!

So, dump the traditional 9-to-5 job. Instead, get paid to play, create, learn and grow – and being filled up to burping. It’s like being a favoured child again.

But with a full range of choices you love!

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO WE NEED?

1) Individuals with the Highest Energy.

If you can start a conversation with strangers on your own pitch and engage them in a thinking process, you are our man. Value and service-oriented people with a high level of initiative are our best picks. If you have that crucial can-do attitude – you are our man!

2) Unstoppable Desire to Win.

You will not take no for an answer. You will find a way around a maze, even if you have to go through the whole process again. Well, even if somebody gets you by the tail-end, you can still make your brains work, can’t you? Truly unstoppable – you have our admiration.

3) Willing to let someone else in the team win.

Credits are usually for the whole team. No matter who made the fi-nal push, everybody feels big and responsible for getting the contract satisfactorily fulfilled. But the thing is the ship needs every hand on deck. So, if the client clicks with another style in the team, you are gracious enough to give way. Less of ego, more of team play – you are the man!

4) Personally Responsible. No blaming and justifying.

The buck stops here – take the responsibility for your own work. Dishonesty has no place in the team, but rather, transparency is the big order. Do the style you want – but be ready to take consequences. We can do with more honest work – and humility.

5) Has unique talent or ability.

We don’t need copycats. There are enough of those already out there. We give you all the opportunities and the best set-up to accomplish a job’s requirement– so why not return the favor? Don’t undermine your own perceptions. Uniqueness rates high with us. If you have an idea or a way of doing things, why not share it with the team or the top man? You might end up being our winning chip!

KEY DIFFERENCE MEDIA FACTS

THE KEY Difference STORY

KEY Difference is a culture, not a corporation. The basic premise behind all our activities is to create an environment of commercial success and personal fulfillment. We make money because we need money to change the world. We are not idealists; we are realists with very real ideas for an idealistically real world! We are not out to create a parallel world that aligns with our objectives; we use our objectives to align the world to standards of excellence and prosperity that we feel are “normal” and “right.”

Mr.KEY - The CEO

THE KEY STORY

Karnika E. Yashwant (Mr. KEY) is born in Coimbatore in 23 August 1992. He is adjudged India’s “Youngest CEO”, having formed his first company at age 14. Multi awarded CEO of a dozen companies; he is a much sought speaker of international business and civic clubs, as well as academic universities. Perhaps, the best analysis of Karnika can be found in “Karnika – the Alpha Man from India”. This landmark book, acclaimed as one of the books of famous people, holds up a pattern of greatness – emotional and spiritual maturity as basis for Alpha Maleness. There are two ways of looking at this man: he makes you hope to be like him; and two, he makes you want to know more about him. Those who have worked with him will tell you that they have taken from him more than they have given to him. Setting his life as a pattern, our greatest desire is to measure up to his expectations.
