It is said that during internship one does not just learn from the project and mentor, but also from the co-interns. My experience with my co-interns at Mahindra Finance was something very unique and at the same time, very insightful. Though I was more focused on my marketing research and post research analysis, but lunch-time discussions with the co-interns gave me insights about their projects and offered multiple perspectives. I always returned back to my work with a fresh approach. Working with multiple interns in a conglomerate like Mahindra also showed how every vertical is unique in itself but belongs to the same common parent.
The project ended with presentations to the business heads of various sectors at Mahindra Learning University (MLU) Nashik, which was yet another memorable experience. It was followed by a grand party because at Mahindra, we believe in working hard but celebrating each success harder.
M&M was my first exposure to the corporate world and it could not have been better. I was handling a project for the first time and to my surprise, I was given all the freedom and space I needed to work on the project. Though I reported and updated my mentor time-to-time, but all the major decisions related to the project were in my hands. I was allowed to choose the locations I wanted to go for my field visit. I was allowed to frame my project timeline. At the same time, I was also allowed to mold the project details as per my convenience. At Mahindra, you are never a follower. Mahindra aspires to make everyone a leader.
To sum it up, the experience was full of challenges at every step which instilled great leadership qualities in me.
