The Chocolate Diaries - Summer Internship at Mondelez

The Chocolate Diaries - Summer Internship at Mondelez

A saga is defined as a long story of heroic achievement. When my internship with Mondelez International (or Cadbury as it is better known as) began, I certainly didn’t feel very heroic. Robbed of my signature French beard thanks to maternal pressure on corporate conformity, I felt quite naked as I walked into the colourful Cadbury Building on Bhulabhai Desai Road. The two months that followed were beyond my wildest expectations, but at that moment, I was trying my best to look manly as hell and failing.

Summer Internship Experience at International Trade Centre, Geneva (WTO and UNCTAD)

Summer Internship Experience at International Trade Centre, Geneva (WTO and UNCTAD)

The first day of my internship, I woke up quite early (not because it was my first day, but because of the time difference), got ready and left for office. There I had my first embarrassing moment: I fell down in the tram, not being used to the turns and breaks of the tram. Finally, I got down at the right stop but still I was lost! Then came my first shot at conversing with foreign strangers for asking the route. After first few attempts I realized I was in a majorly French speaking country where people write R but pronounce it as ‘Kh’, meaning they write something and speak something else. I managed to learn the odd pronunciation and finally reached my destination that was my second home for the next two months – International Trade Centre (Joint agency of WTO and UN, Geneva).

Why only Sex or Sharukh Khan Sells! - Summer Internship in Branding at Mahindra

Why only Sex or Sharukh Khan Sells! - Summer Internship in Branding at Mahindra

The title of my story, notwithstanding its embarrassing nature, is inspired by an off-hand remark by one lesser known member of the tinsel town which gained overwhelming popularity by the sheer juxtaposition of two such poignant terms – Sex and Shahrukh Khan. A few years back when I had first heard it, I perhaps laughed it off, found it lame or could have even fount it witty – I really don’t recall. Today, somehow the significance of the statement is screaming out to me. I owe it to the two months exercise in ‘Branding and Positioning’.
