An engineer's triumphant Finance internship

All internships are incomplete without a dash of mentorship in it. I had the honour of having Mr. T R Vijay, Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, as my mentor during this internship. The sheer volume of knowledge and experience he held was an inspiration for me every day, to come to work prepared. Prepared to learn more, prepare to question more, prepared to contribute more, prepared to strive to be a better version of yourself. He never believed in spoon feeding , but to always prompt us to think harder and be creative, he always encouraged the team to be one, to think on our own, to explore more. He worked consciously to break the barrier of hesitance an intern might have while approaching him with any kind of a query or problem. He encouraged me to learn more, to reach out to whoever possible to have my quest for knowledge complete. He also pushed to build my social circle at the work place, an area I previously didn’t focus on. A true mentorship is when your whole work ecosystem is built, ranging from technical to social skills. The internship was what it was because of the opportunities he presented to learn more and contribute more to showcase my potential, and for this I am forever grateful !
