Mumbai in the monsoons - My New Muse, My New Inspiration

Mumbai in the monsoons - My New Muse, My New Inspiration

Serenity is the last thing that one would expect when he lands at a place where chaos rules the roost. With curious eyes scanning the millions who were juggling their lives between local train platforms and figuring out the right proportion of work-life balance as well as bhaji-pav balance in their breakfast, I prepared myself to be one with Mumbai –‘the city of contradictions’ and boarded a local train to have a glimpse of what awaited me.

Beaches, Rain, Fun and Work- Of course- Summer Internship at P&G, Goa!

Beaches, Rain, Fun and Work- Of course- Summer Internship at P&G, Goa!

The days that led to the most exciting and highly anticipated part of every first year’s life at a B-school in India are actually a haze in my mind right now, the Summer Internship Placement process. I remember running around for the process and the fact that my first interview was with P&G. Before entering the room for the interview I was not nervous and that worked in my favor. All I would like to say to future aspirants is never think or say you can’t and go in believing you can conquer Mount Everest! My interview was smooth and once done I had a really good feeling about it and sure enough I had an offer from P&G.

Internship at Citibank in Operations

As Delhi reels in the heat, with a look towards the sky with the hope of monsoons, for its people, the summers are not yet over. But if you ask any second year B-school student in India, the summers are done and dusted with. So is the case with me, as I finished my internship at Citibank in Banking Operations profile.

Connecting the dots! - Summer Internship in a Global Foods Company

Connecting the dots! - Summer Internship in a Global Foods Company

A typical night during my summer internship, yeah right not day, would consist of scrambling through heaps of data and excel files to find sourcing opportunity for one of the world's biggest and most reputed Foods company based out of USA. I never experienced working in a start-up before, but now I can very well relate to the experience having to chart out every objective and every strategy to tackle it, on my own. Since, I was tasked to find out the most economical supplier of a particular agricultural commodity with the best possible quality, there were no quantifiable goals set for me by my mentors. "Welcome to the club! Global Sourcing is a really niche function where you will be untangling a labyrinth of filters and sub-filters as to why NOT to choose this supplier or that. If anything survives those filters, you just got your million-dollar supplier!", I remember one of the previous interns telling me, with characteristic solemnness, on phone during my first week of internship. He couldn't have been more correct.
