It has been fulfilling, exhilarating, eye-opening, questioning, re-evaluating. I have come 360 in my view. From being a retailer consumed with challenges of my business to understanding the challenges of pipelines. It allows me to understand it is(entire operations) bigger than me.

I learnt a lot from the managers and directors of the technology companies. I realized that business model of BDB is very different than Shanghai Diamond Exchange so I would think about how I can improve the Shanghai Diamond Exchange.

The group was represented with full pipeline right from miners, retailers to dealers. I got to learn what is happening from each level what are thier challenges and what do they plan to do in future. We as buyer group can provide solution to our retailers for certain challenges that they are facing.

It was unexpected to see the culture of giving back to the community and the respect of the worker that you see in these companies not from just management but also from worker point of view.
