Summer placements can be overwhelming. There are tonnes of things to research on, mock GDs, practice tests, and HR questions to prepare for. Wouldn't it be nice to hear from someone who not only got into your dream company but also cracked the PPO? Asian Paints is one of the biggest players in its market, but what is it like to be an intern there?
It is hard for me to believe that I graduated from SIBM in March 2015, packed my boxes, moved to Gurgaon, and re-adjusted myself into the working world. The professors had told me that things would move fast and they did move so much fast, that it was shocking at times while amusing at others.
So, here it goes.
It is one of those times when most of the first year students in the premier b-schools of our country are perpetually high of sleep deprivation and are trying to find a meaning of what is happening to them. And it won't be an exaggeration if I say that few are contemplating about leaving the b-school and going back to their work life, which, for the most, was far easier than life at a b-school. The quest for being the best or rather getting the best (company) is on a high among the over-achievers, and a few like me, are concerned about somehow ending up with an internship. It's the beginning of a long race from places like Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Kozhikode etc., to places like Seoul, Amsterdam, NYC or Tokyo, and no one wants to be the last. If you ask me about my experience, I feel like I am living Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy' in reverse. The end-term is the 'Paradiso', the few days between the SIPs and end-term would be the 'Purgatorio' and the SIPs would definitely be the 'Inferno'.
