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.
