'You Cannot Separate Knowledge From Contact With The Ground' - Summer Internship Experience At TAFE Limited - IIM Trichy

'You Cannot Separate Knowledge From Contact With The Ground' - Summer Internship Experience At TAFE Limited - IIM Trichy

Sitting on a flight to Lucknow after my induction at the Company Headquarters in Chennai, I was trying to develop a systematic phase-wise plan for my Project. I was interning at TAFE Ltd - the third largest tractor manufacturer in the world, and had received my project brief from my mentor the day before. Half-excited and half-nervous, the one thing I was confident about was that the extensive field work that the project involved would provide enriching experiences of a kind hitherto unseen. My project required the collection of data from tractor customers and dealers in Eastern UP and Bihar and thus, involved extensive travelling.

Trysting With Tata Steel - Rupali Patro's Internship Experience - IIM Lucknow

Trysting With Tata Steel - Rupali Patro's Internship Experience - IIM Lucknow

As I gaze into my keyboard to pull together words expounding my brief tryst as a summer intern with Tata Steel, this intense quote spoken by the divine Billy McMohan in the movie “The Internship” keeps reverberating in the canaries of my mind, “And I want to have you get out there, salsa'ing and grinding up against a complete stranger that you don't even know, having a pretty good time doin' some wrong things. Okay? Are we on the same page?” This line has pretty much harboured all the source of inspiration I ever needed for the most of my summers. Because that’s what Tata Steel is! Here, the foremost focus remains on people development, growth, and employee relations, which is deeply ingrained in the culture of caring for their people. Tata Steel has always held the view that people are its greatest asset. It has adopted the finest of standards for employee well-being and quality of life, strongly promoting workforce rights. The other focal point is the upholding of Tata values through transparency and fairness in all its practices and policies.

Summer Internship Experience At Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail

Having heard that a sales stint is unfailingly always a tiring experience, I had an opposite view of it being an enjoyable learning experience. This thought process- of enjoying the travelling and thereby getting to learn from the unique experiences helped me land in "MADURA FASHION & LIFESTYLE" as a summer intern.

Oscillating Between The Extremes At United Breweries - Abhideep's Internship Experience

Oscillating Between The Extremes At United Breweries - Abhideep's Internship Experience

As the days of my internship were inching closer, I became restless to know where I would be posted for the two months. In my heart, I was hoping for Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi —and still deep inside—Goa as my job location. I was not unreasonable in dreaming so as this is a company that launches most of its new brands during international festivals at Goa. But to my misfortune, I was given a project in Udaipur. It came as a shock to me but somehow I gathered all the energy I had to venture into the unexplored territories of Udaipur. As a silver lining, I, along with my co-interns, was invited for a two-day induction program at UB City in Bangalore. The hospitality at Ramada and the Jet Airways with extra leg room over and above the salary can win hearts of most Indians and pump them up enough to work sincerely for the company. We were briefed by the Head HR of the company about the various manufacturing facilities, upcoming brands, senior leadership team and finally our projects at our respective locations. Previously I had met him during my interview for the position. I could reminisce that my interview had revolved around very simple yet conceptual topics of sales and marketing. Nevertheless, most of my interview was a casual conversation around topics of my interest and a lot of small talks. The ability to talk on any topic and extraversion are two key aspects of your personality that HRs look at while hiring for a sales role. And this was quite apparent when I met my peers from other IIMs, NM, and IMT.
