Be Wise; Live WiSE (Wipro Summers’ Experience) - Sumana Saha - XAHR

Nervous jitters every now and then, excitement at its peak, calling up numerous friends and juniors and taking a look at the checklist of onboarding documents a hundred times. This more or less says it all about the morning of my first day of internship. Of the numerous times that I wore business formals during MBA, never before had I thought of actually flaunting it. I was taken aback by looking at people all around me so normal and casual? Am I the only one who is over-excited? Probably yes, and I had all the reason for the same. It was my first corporate stint as a fresher. The first ever of my life. A lot was at stake. I had heard so much about it – both good and not so good. Looking at my excitement, my fellow interns would say “You’re new to the corporate setup, we’ve been there; we’ll take a look at your excitement a week later.”

When You Are High On Work

When You Are High On Work

Have you ever experienced a high while working? Yes, I am talking about you! I have been, and I have enjoyed every bit of it. Why shouldn’t I? I am young; I have all the time and energy to put into my work. Why shouldn’t you do the same, after all that growing up listening to “work is worship” you are still not putting efforts to get that high. After all your work is your legacy and that is what is left behind when you leave the world. The work high I am talking about gives you a rush of ‘chemicals’ inside you which make you feel better; it’s a feeling of euphoria and fulfilment which drives you further into knowing yourself.

My Two-Month Long Association With SVEP - Ashutosh Satpathy - XSRM

What is Rural Management? This question popped up in my mind, exactly a year ago when I wanted to make a career change from being just an engineer.  Have I made a wise career choice? I asked these questions while joining Rural Management Programme offered by Xavier School of Rural Management (XSRM), XUB.

Heyday At Network18 - Saswati Mahapatra - XAHR

Heyday At Network18 - Saswati Mahapatra - XAHR

Having been an IT professional for a couple of years before joining XAHR, I had walked in with a completely different set of experiences, work culture and corporate knowledge than what my summer internship at a media house was going to offer. Network18 being one of the largest broadcasting houses in the country, it is easy to assume that I got a pretty big team to work with! But even with over a 3000 plus employee strength, Network18’s HR team comprised only of around thirty-five Human resource managers (the amazing work culture makes this much more exciting than it sounds). For if not anything else, as an HR intern, I walked out with a pretty diverse experience to boast about!

Why Summer Placements Are More Important Than Final Placements

Why Summer Placements Are More Important Than Final Placements

June is that month of the year where a batch comes out of a ride and a new batch looks forward to the same for the next year. Summer Placements. When I was a b-school student I used to hear and over-hear casual remarks about this like “It's just SIP (Summer Internship Placements)”,” 2 Mahine ki to baat hai”, “go wherever you can and get out of this race”, “Finals me faad denge”. As a fresher (Or even as a lateral), you don’t have much idea about the processes and maybe you lack confidence, you feel less-than-prepared, or cant decide where to go. By the time you understand these while also settling into b-school curriculum, activities, committees, etc. SIPs start. So first thing first - I believe SIPs are more important than Finals. WHY?

XInternship At SPI - Rishabh Maheshwari, XIMB

Always thinking out of the box and looking out for passionate people to join their organization, the process that we went through for our selection was definitely something which we had not expected. After 3 days of interesting yet mind-boggling activities, which were fun, while at the same time made us think about the intricacies of business, I was very lucky to be selected as one, to intern with them.

Reckoning With Royal Bank Of Scotland - XIMB

Reckoning With Royal Bank Of Scotland - XIMB

Three terms after, in filial obligation to MBA,  I had persevered with obsequious patience and labour to witness the fruits of ‘firmness of purpose’. The exams drew to a close! And an obstinate zeal of interning was running high in me, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) was beckoning. The zeal was rocketing but so weren’t my psychic powers for Chennai, a city uncharted. In the months that were harbingers to my arrival, the City was singeing, the Kaveri water dispute had taken toll of normalcy. The immediate casualties were the CSK matches! Notwithstanding, with a heart fortified, a mind patient, and an understanding simple and schooled, for what we know must be, I packed my valise.
