Over the years, the program has been through a series of revitalizing transformations to meet the demands and requirements of our organization. We support the participants (STRIDERs) in building a career in ABFRL through our leadership programs with varied experiences that are designed to help them leverage the scale, and functional and geographical diversity and challenge themselves to emerge as transformational leaders.
During the first year of their career journey with us, through a series of stints across locations and functions, each participant is imparted with real-time, hands-on learning and development opportunities. While on stints, participants benefit from the mentorship and guidance of industry stalwarts, functional insights from training and the ability to work across multiple cultural paradigms. Currently, we offer multiple opportunities under STRIDE Program - internship programs, full-time programs for graduate and post-graduate students from select fashion institutes and business schools in India.
