A newly hired graduate has been credited with catching a major calculation error in an important client report on his very first day at work, potentially preventing losses of Rs 30 lakh and possible legal action against the company. The incident was shared on LinkedIn by employer Abhishek Agarwal, who said the fresher had joined from a top business school.
Agarwal said he had asked the new recruit, who was in the final year of college, to familiarise himself with the company’s active client accounts. On the same day, Agarwal reviewed and signed a critical report before sending it to an important client, with the graduate copied on the email.
