Platinum

Part I: Ideating

11 trainees as many credit card companies. So we were the chosen ones. (So as we thought).Hence we applied. PLATINUM. Before the salary account is opened our platinum card application is ready for processing.

Part II: Conceptualization

After the strategic decision about the business development. The follow up act commenced.Gaurav started his Kismet Konnection wd ICICI...Abhishek with Standard Chartered, Sukhad with Kotak. Vishal Wd Barclays.

Part III: Discoveries

Jaiswal realized he lives in a non service area, Gaurav discovered that he had applied earlier ( ugh he din knew dt ) and cannot apply any more. I have been telephonically verified so many times that even telecom providers would wonder. After tracking the ever absconding prabhaker (the Sales guy who filled d form for us) we made the greatest discovery – most of the application hasn’t even reached. Howzzat for starters

Part IV: Fire Fighting

Calling and recalling the bank. Calling and recalling prabhakar.attending verification calls. Finally writing to our buddy KV KAMATH and top honchos of all major banks to the effect that I am sure in the next quarterly meet of banks this topic will surely be raised. And all this for the elusive sight of a silvery black pass to hell (read platinum)

Part V: Aftermaths

Platinuuummmm finally happened after 2 months of rigorous and focused action.1 out of 11 did manage to get the card. Our single minded ambition paid fruits and will be termed as great victory of teamwork and collective effort.
