Expecting big names on the recruiter list in your college this year? Do you want to intern at big consulting firms or as a product management intern at consumer internet companies? One of the things that makes these companies stand out is their recruitment practices. Case studies, application-based scenario questions, market sizing and guesstimates, etc. are some of the most common questions asked.
This week, find out how to choose your ideal internship company right before summer placements with the help of our panel featuring an IIM B alum who interned with Flipkart and bagged a PPO, but chose to work in consulting, an IIM A marketing student who got a PPO with Bain and an MDI Gurgaon student who switched from Investment Banking (intern with D.E.Shaw) to PwC!
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable - Helen Keller Long before I could pack my bags, wait for the final call from an IIM, and feel the trepidation, a nationwide lockdown happened. It took a while getting used to this at first, but the 'online MBA' had made its mark and was here to stay. It has been a rollercoaster ride since then, with all the highs and lows. Of course, parents have to bear my tantrums all the time, and this could be considered as one of the perils of doing “off-campus MBA”. Despite all of these, I try to make it a point to have dinner with my family and take a day off on weekends. Sometimes that even means staying up late or waking up early to finish assignments.

Bond with Pidilite saw a huge response from B-schools across the country. Thousands of entries later, we finally have the 7 teams who have moved forward to the Grand Finale of Bond with Pidilite. With their innovative and unique approach to the cases provided by Pidilite, these 7 teams made it to the last hurdle to form a Mazboot Jod Journey with Pidilite. Who will be the winner at the end! Who would be able to form the longstanding ‘Bond’ with Pidilite at the end of this ultimate B-school Case Study Competition?
2020 has been a tough year, but it has once again proven to us the true extent of human adaptability. Despite the world having to isolate themselves, work has continued to happen. While many companies this year decided to cancel or defer internships promised to students, many others made good of their promise. Mahindra recognized the importance of internships for MBA students, and therefore quickly adapted their set processes to accommodate their interns, albeit virtually. Since most interns had already received their projects before the lockdown was imposed, these projects had to be modified based on limitations arising from a work-from-home setup.
The one sector that has seen a positive GDP throughout the lockdown and this pandemic is agriculture. And why not, because everything else is not as important as food in a crisis situation! So why are farmers protesting? In today’s news bulletin we discuss those bills passed by the government recently which has led to farmers' protests. We also look at the Tata group in the news for conflict negotiation and glance at the Babri Masjid demolition case. Check out these highlights now!
‘‘We have modified our environment so radically that we must modify ourselves in order to exist in this new environment.’’ —Norbert Wiener, The Human Use of Human Beings This quote by the father of cybernetics sums up the challenges that we face today and what we must do to sustain and thrive in this pandemic. My summer internship, similar to most of my peers from the batch of 2021, seemed like a once in a century experience. Interning amidst the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has been a revelation in its own right. In the next few paragraphs, I reflect upon my experience as an intern at Piramal Enterprises Limited.
