Bio
Poojan Shukla
I joined Grey-Box as a Digital Marketing volunteer. I would highly recommend Grey-Box's Volunteer Program for their exceptional work-integrated learning work-culture. Their unique approach of combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience helped me invaluably to enter the workforce in the starting of my career. At Grey-Box, I was welcomed with a supportive and an inclusive environment for learning, and their commitment to their volunteer's success is truly remarkable. I was actively involved at all steps in the Marketing team and it also allowed me to take up initiatives with great help from Valentin and the team, that accurately aligned with my interests at the time.

I vividly remember the day Valentin was scheduled to do a workshop for our cohort of social entrepreneurs. He was stuck in an airport, in another timezone, facing delays and lots of complications. He went above and beyond! Not only managed to do the workshop on time but also delivered superb content. The cohort went out of the workshop with concepts, best practices and tools that boosted their scale up strategy. You're a bundle of commitment and knowledge Valentin! Looking forward to working with you again.
