It offers an excellent platform to kindle your ability to take on business-oriented challenges while collaborating with seasoned leaders and achieve the unthinkable, perfectly shaping the early years of your career.

Leaders Views

I have been one of the supporters for the E.L.I.T.E. community since the inception of the program. In the mentorship program, I have really enjoyed our interaction with such smart and hardworking talents who take most proactive initiatives. It has always been a pleasure to work with them to try to find their own space within Capgemini, and to guide them in discovering most productive career development within the organization. I strongly believe the E.L.I.T.E. program is solid platform for Capgemini to shape up our aspiring leaders.

The E.L.I.T.E. team has been actively participating in CSR initiatives. These young minds have helped in designing implementable strategies for our NGO partners and also interacted with our digital academy students to know about their journeys. Keep up the enthusiasm and great work. CSR team really appreciates their efforts and looks forward to working on more such projects with the E.L.I.T.E. team.

E.L.I.T.E. folks clearly bring in the business understanding of technology and digitalisation with a sector focus. Various E.L.I.T.E. folks have worked on market assessment, scoping and other such projects which have created business impact and a push on the global workforce to think more from the business end of digital transformation. I am very confident in their ability to bring in a new business perspective and enrich our capabilities in serving the clients.
