He felt so consumed by the concepts that the library was not enough. He joined an NGO called Bandhan to understand what happens in the grassroots.

For a large scale company like Tata Steel, it becomes even more important to keep all the pieces of the puzzle in place, and thus an effective communication system is a prerequisite. In the final episode of the summer internship series we did with Tata Steel this year, we have Shradha Kailkhura from MICA Ahmedabad, who learned about the importance of communication in an organization like Tata Steel.

While I connected with my buddy and mentors to understand the culture and role, I could not stop imagining the plans I'd make with my undergrad-friends. I could not attend my engineering convocation, and this internship was an excellent chance for me to have a get-together. Being a travel-enthusiast, I had even listed down weekend gateways from Banglore and 'best places to eat'. But who knew, someone in some part of the world would have a BAT and everything would be ruined.
