My Internship At L’Oréal - Archit From IIM Indore

I am currently pursuing Integrated Programme in Management at IIM, Indore. I had the opportunity to work with L’Oréal India in summers as a ‘Marketing Intern’. Usually FMCG brands are the most coveted internships for marketing enthusiasts & it undeniably increases the glamour quotient when it’s the cosmetics & fashion industry.

'My Project Title Had The Word "IPL" In It' - Rohit's Internship Saga At RPG - IIM Ranchi

In retrospect also, I cannot imagine that my summer internship at CEAT Tyres would be this life changing. It started out with the email with my project title. My fellow interns got projects in CRM, Supply Chain, etc. I was also expecting some run-of-the-mill project like that. My project title had the word “IPL” in it. And common knowledge suggests that IPL happens in the months of April and May. CEAT sponsors the strategic time-out. I connected the dots. A kick-ass internship in marketing which involved cricket. Perfect. My joy was unbound.

As Britain Puts It “The things I Do For Love” - Aman Jindal's View On Brexit

Britain in an historic referendum voted to exit the European Union ending its 40 year old love-hate relationship with Europe. This is the first time a member state has decided to exit the EU. Sterling witnessed its biggest one day drop since 1945, as world markets went into a tailspin. A frenzy of put options (options that bet on a stock underperforming) were sold in derivatives markets on UK stocks. Article 50 of the European Treaty which details the mechanics of how a nation can exit the EU is sketchy at best. A messy divorce is imminent.

My Summer Internship At BCG - Archika From IIM Indore

During the first year, getting used to doing pre-reads, burning the midnight oil, adapting to the rigorous routine and juggling among classes, quizzes, summers’ preparation and attending company presentations took time and effort. But in the end it was all worth it since I got placed with the top recruiter at my campus, The Boston Consulting Group, during summers.

Summer Internship At SnapDeal : Where Passion Meets Chaos - Sharath Kumar's Story

“Now do a sales pitch in Hindi”, The HR told me and leaned back in his chair. I was dumbfounded because I had already told him that I didn’t speak much Hindi. Being from the south of the equator, I am not used to conversing in Hindi and doing a sales pitch in Hindi was definitely not my thing. However, determined to nail the interview, I gave it my best shot. The end result was a pitch that barely qualified, one that was dotted with English and gratuitous use of hand gestures. I was dejected, I’m sure it showed on my face. After working tooth and nail to get into an e-commerce company, my lack of proficiency in a language was to stop me. It did not though. I was offered the internship after two more interview rounds and accepted it with a beaming smile. Later on, at Snapdeal in Gurgaon, I asked the HR personnel who interviewed me how my sales pitch was.
