Arindam: - Sir, one client will come today. He used to study with me at St. Thomas Engineering College. His name is Farooque.
Debojyoti: - Is he a good student? Where is he working right now? If he is not a studious kind of a guy, don’t suggest him to go for the MBA Distance course of ICFAI. He will not pass the course after 3 years also.
Arindam: - No, Sir. Farooque is a good student. Before doing B-TECH in IT, he has also pursued B.Sc degree in Physics. I went to his house once to celebrate the Eid festival. He is a Muslim but his family is a very educated family. His father is a reputed doctor and all his family members are highly educated.
Debojyoti: - Ok, ok, I understand. When is he coming?
Arindam: - He will come at 4 PM today. I have an internal exam on Operations Research at 3.30 PM. The exam will be of 2 hours duration. So, I cannot attend Farooque in this SAP office.
Debojyoti: - Aah…don’t worry. I am there, naah…Farooque is your friend, naah…Baash…he will get enrolled in the MBA Distance course of ICFAI within this week. You can challenge my words.
Arindam: - Sir, when you are there in this office as a boss, then hardly any client will reject our selling product.
*********************************
Debraj: - Ei, Arindam, where are you going?
Arindam: - Just going down to have a cup of tea and some snacks from James’ tea shop.
Debraj: - Arrey, you can drink tea anytime. James’ tea shop will always be there for you. Debojyoti Sir wants to talk to you. It is very important.
*********************************
Debraj: - Sir, Arindam has come.
Debojoyti: - Aah! Arindam, there is a good news for you. Farooque will enroll in this week only. Now, as you have given 3 clients for SAP in this quarter, you are eligible to go for the Conference in Ooty. Are you interested to go to Ooty?
Arindam: - Ooty? But, before the semester exams, will it be feasible? Attendance will be an issue.
Debojyoti: - attendance will not be an issue. All the teachers will give you attendance if you are going to attend SAP conference. Don’t worry about exams. If you go to Ooty for 3 days, it is not going to hamper your education. Anyway, you people just study at the night before the exam. So, what’s the big deal if you go for the conference before the exam?
Debarjun: - Ha ha ha…you have said the correct thing, Sir. We study in the previous day of the examination only.
Arindam: - but, one thing I don’t understand, Sir, that what is the purpose of this SAP Conference?
Debojyoti: - What? You are yet to know the purpose of it? My goodness! Ei, Angshuman, why have I recruited you as a SAP Officer? A SAP trainee who has given 7 clients till now does not know what is the purpose of this conference? How funny! Angshuman, please tell about the conference to Arindam in details.
Angshuman: - Sir, I have called Arindam in my cabin so many times, but he is least interested to interact with me. Ei, Arindam, come here. I will tell you in details about the SAP conference.
********************************
Angshuman: - Arindam, first of all, you have to understand what is SAP? What is SAP? Tell me?
Arindam: - SAP means Stipendiary Assignment Program.
Angshuman: - aah…that is just the full form. That is not the definition of SAP. See, you are doing full time MBA degree in Finance from ICFAI Business School of Kolkata. Now, this ICFAI University has a unique system. ICFAI gives the chance to all its full time MBA students to become a SAP Trainee or a Part-time employee of ICFAI. Here, you are a full time student of MBA and also a part time employee of ICFAI. As a part time employee of ICFAI, you are given the opportunity to sell the ICFAI educational products to professionals as an agent. A TCS employee who does not have a MBA degree is always eager to do a distance MBA course from ICFAI as ICFAI has a good brand after IIM, XLRI, IMT and Narsee Monjee. Now, as a full time student of ICFAI, when you sell a MBA Distance course package to a TCS employee at 84,000 bucks, then you get a commission of 7790 bucks.
Arindam: - Aah…these things I also know. Till now, I have given 7 clients. I have already received the money for 4 clients in the last quarter which is around 26,110 bucks exclusive of TDS. But, why a SAP trainee needs to go to a conference?
Angshuman: - Don’t regard it as a conference. Rather it is a meeting on the quarterly results or performance. In this conference, SAP trainees and officers of all the different branches of ICFAI Business School will assemble at Ooty to discuss about their sales figures, targets achieved, any issues regarding the selling of ICFAI products and about their profitable target market potentials. Arindam, ICFAI is just like a corporate body only, which is providing you a MBA degree. Basically, ICFAI was formed by a group of Chartered Financial Accountants (CFAs) only.
Arindam: - Then the conference will be a very boring one. For going to Ooty, at least, there will be expense of around 5000 bucks from my pocket.
Angshuman: - Who told you all these bullshit things? You don’t have to spend a single penny. It is a sponsored tour from ICFAI for all the talented SAP trainees like you. And believe me, the lunch, dinner and drinks are all free of cost; even the lodging also. You will enjoy the Conference of Ooty. So, what have you decided? Are you willing to go or not?
Arindam: - of course, yes, I want to go to Ooty. I don’t know whether I will get any chance to go to Ooty in future or not and that too with our college friends.
Angshuman: - That’s the spirit. Tomorrow, at 5.30 PM, Debojyoti Sir has called a meeting in this office only to make the final list of SAP trainees, who will be going to Ooty Conference. Be present in this office tomorrow within 5.30 PM.
Arindam: - No problem, Angshuman daa, I will be there. Now, I need to go. It is already 8.30 PM. Thakurpukur is very far from this Sector-V of Salt Lake City.
Angshuman: - Oh! My goodness, you stay too far. At least, it will take 1.5 hours from here to reach your home. Anyway, see you tomorrow. Good night.
