Small Fish in a Big Pond – Internship Saga

First of all, I’ll like to write this saga anonymously to provide greater details and to cover my shortcoming of burping more than allowed. My internship was with a laaaaarge Indian IT firm that made a good transition from being a Vanaspati company to IT. The internship seemed fine but I was more excited about the location because most of the people got absorbed in Bangalore and that is where best buddy lives. It was a chance for a reunion.

Internship experience at Microsoft India, Sales and Marketing Division

The initial excitement... The most awaited internship tenure with Microsoft Sales and Marketing Division began with a bang. I was invited to stay at the ‘Taj’ for a brief period of 15 days. Excitement had already crept into me as I went through the project briefing. It was a customer facing project that involved a lot of field work. I braced myself to enjoy the next two months, I was eager to be challenged against my strengths. During this internship tenure, I had a very unique experience in many ways,

Joy of the little things - Internship in HR

My summer internship experience started with the onset of the summer placements season at IIFT. It is usually as very stressful time for all the candidates who are vying for that perfect summer internship. In such an environment, I found that I was remarkably calm and unaffected by the atmosphere around me. This was perhaps because I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be among the last ones to get placed. Such low expectations were probably the result of having failed in 12 of the last 13 interviews that I had appeared for during the final year of engineering. So it came as pleasant surprise when I found myself selected for one of the more coveted profiles on campus very early on in the summer placement season. The next two trimesters were spent in pleasant anticipation of the upcoming internship.

Journey through the road of Digital Marketing - Internship at Innoserv Solutions

Like many other IIM participants I expected to do summer internship in a big company which will give me a stamp of big brand. Like others I also wanted to leverage my internship company’s reputation during final placement. But few got everything whatever they want. So yes I did not get a chance to do internship in any multinational or for that matter any big brand company. Rather I did my internship in a start-up working on digital marketing. I did not have any expectation prior to joining but whatever I learnt and experienced during those 2 months were noteworthy and much above than my expectation. It helped me to find a new interest area where I really want to start my career. So I wanted to share my extremely enjoyable and lovable journey and this write up is an entry for the Summer Saga 2014 Contest.

Shenanigans at Stryker - Internship in Market Research

Dr. Gregory House. That was my aim for as long as I remember- from his brilliance to his smirks- I was enamored and infatuated! I was determined to be a doctor with the panache of Dr. House and the humanity of Dr. Wilson. My path was set… Until, I decided to do an MBA to gain insights to revolutionize the Indian health system. And stepping into Stryker office on the 1st day of internship, I felt as bewildered and as intimidated as Mike Ross (Suits) felt on his first day at Pearson Hardman!!!
