Being a part of a Retail organization like Hypercity
has been a great experience for me. I have learnt
everything from scratch, from Operations to the
Merchandising management. Management has always
expected of great efforts and outcomes which makes
the work challenging and fun. I love such type of
work environment where I always get a chance to
challenge myself. Co-workers were helpful and
joyful.
