STAMP- Summer Training At Marico’s Pace, the 8 weeks summer internship program at Marico, is one of the most intensive yet enriching experiences that one can have. It is a phase where one’s learning curve shoots so high that the very knowledge you gain from this internship is a catalyst of your transformation from a student to a Marico intern. My internship at Marico has been an incredible one, and I’d be thrilled to share my experience and tell everyone I can about how well Marico treats not just its employees, but its interns as well.
Freedom is not concerned just with me but with each and every girl child of my village. I am Ankita Patel and I come from a village called Singharwa, near Ahmedabad. Pursuing my education had been a challenge since my school days. Due to lack of proper educational infrastructure at my village, I had to travel for 2 hours in a crowded bus, daily to reach my school during my 11th and 12th standard. After high school came college and this is when the entire village had taken it upon themselves to deny me the higher education I aspired to pursue. Several attempts to persuade my parents to prevent me from studying further were made by the village folk who always had so much to say like, “Who will marry your daughter once she’s educated?”, “Why spend so much on education when you use it for her marriage?”, “She will develop a big ego which will be detrimental to her marriage later on…”. But thankfully, my parents did not get swayed. They understood the importance of education and allowed me to go to college.
This woman’s day, a huge realisation struck me. My experiences and my endeavours to try to enter the corporate world have matured me a lot. I am no longer the twinkly-eyed girl that I used to be, but I have grown to be a much more confident woman. Of course, this is just the beginning of my journey, and there is never an end to it. But it has been beautiful however it has been, and it feels empowering to share these experiences.
Aastha Sneha Pathak is a 2nd-year student at IIM Lucknow. Besides living the hel(L)ish life, she loves to read. She is also a member of Forty Two, the literary and debating club on campus, as well as, Team Disha, the committee of placement mentors.
Walt Disney’s famous quote, ‘When you are curious, you find a lot of interesting things to do’, fits perfectly for Roshni Khatri! Being from a business family, she always had an interest in doing business. Her father has been a huge impact on her. She gives all the credit to him for helping her become the type of person she is today and also help shape her career goals.
With the whims and fancies of our likes and dislikes, a lot of us who end up in a Campus are similar in a way. If I talk about me, I met a lot who had spent a good amount of time questioning their decision to do an MBA. And surely all of us thought about the dream organisation we wanted to work in. We knew the rankings of IIMs and alike, we even knew what specialisation they were known for. But actual curriculum and pedagogy were something we had the least idea about. Somehow, we chose to be conveniently unaware of two years of rigorous training at the college. Almost everything that comes after Term 1 registration was a surprise.
We conclude our Recruitment Survey Results with the announcement of this year's list of Dream Companies. These companies have been declared by Aspirants, Business School Students and Alumni as their Dream companies across all sectors, functions and locations. We asked all three categories of respondents to name their top 5 Dream companies. They were asked to type the names of companies and no list was provided to choose from.
