Most of us are aware of the American technical giant, Apple and the high market value and reputation they have generated over the years. Among its many popular products, Apple iPhone have contributed hugely to company’s revenue.
The campus of IIM Calcutta, or ‘Joka’ as we fondly call it, is beautiful in its own way. Well, to set the record straight, despite being the biggest campus among the Holy Trinity in terms of area, it certainly is not as well-maintained as the other two. Though that in no way means it is any less beautiful, after all it is the campus of The Seven Lakes, the lakes which were envisaged to symbolize ‘cauldrons of knowledge’. The lakes, like almost all other significant structures on campus, have a great deal of history behind them. The Seven Lakes symbolize seven of the most legendary professors of the institute. Myth has it, whenever the lakes overflow, the placements skyrocket for that year. Besides, the campus is essentially a bird sanctuary, and provides ample opportunities for budding ornithologists, or photographers,(or perhaps even mere admirers of natural beauty) to sight birds of different species. And to add to that, one gets to see some rarely sighted animals such as the Monitor Lizard(whom we affectionately call ‘Monty’), swans, and ducks.
I don’t claim to be a clairvoyant. But everyone at some point of time experiences something deep and raw about an expectation. That was how I felt when I cracked my Axis interview. The interview in itself was peculiarly ravishing. It was like a normal discussion with friends. Reminded me of my IIM Calcutta interview. Anyways, I was flown to Mumbai (extra leg space, complimentary meal) for the internship and being a fresher, I was quite skeptical about the work. But I was in for a surprise.
Dynamic, stylish, technologically advanced are a few words that would define Tesla’s iconic cars. But have you wondered who’s behind developing and assembling these beautiful machines? It’s none other than Wolverine, Storm, Vulcan, Xavier to name a few. Does that sound familiar? Well, that’s because they are your very own X-men characters at work at Tesla’s largest manufacturing plant.
With due respect to Piet Klinjveld, I would like to describe my experience in KPMG as a beautiful association of Knowledge and People who help each other grow. So my internship started on the 4th of April,2016 in the Mumbai office of KPMG. I must admit that I was nervous as this was my first job. On the first day I was greeted by my mentor who then introduced me to the rest of the team. That same day I met another intern from XLRI (Let's call him V) who was my partner in crime for the next two months.
