When my batch mates were looking of getting into some big corporate houses for their internship, there were few people in my batch, who opted for Pradan, an NGO for their summer internship and I was one among them. The idea behind choosing Pradan was to get a chance to learn about the rural marketplace and understand the problems faced by the farmers in marketing their produce. Apart from this in my 1st year of PGP, I had an exposure to subjects which highlighted the need for MBA graduates in the development sector and the role played by Pradan.

After being asked to wait until my reporting manager arrived to escort me, I saw two familiar looking men enter the corridor.
