Summer Internship Experience At Ninjacart | Arvind Kumawat

It is still hard for me to believe that I just completed my summer internship with Ninjacart as a Satara City Manager. It was one of the very few internships from SBM, NMIMS that gave their interns an opportunity to learn and work ‘on the field’ during such unprecedented times. This was indeed a very special project for me as I started operations in this city right from scratch under the guidance of my mentor Kunal Bhatia. I still remember, when I was assigned to this city project by Abhinaya, Kunal and I had our first conversation on the night of 17 May with an immediate action plan that included looking for a Micro Distribution Center (MDC), hiring Sales Executives, Operation Executives, Drivers and Labor to get our operations started as quickly as possible. Having no idea from where to start, the hustle began and never stopped until the last minute.
