I still remember the day when I got the news that I will be interning with “The Aditya Birla Group” and the thoughts of the Grandeur Welcome at ITC Grand started flooding through my mind. Indeed, it was a dream come true but what followed was something that I had never even dreamt of, presenting the story of ABG’s “Intern of the Year”.
When Rajan said, “You’re so lucky to have bagged a PPO from Unilever”, I gently nodded my head in agreement, but deep down I knew that it wasn’t just luck. It was luck meeting the meticulous execution of an ardent marketer’s dream. A dream that I had envisioned close to a year back. A dream that fuelled me to do my best, a dream that made me out perform, a dream that came true. Today, as I see scores of freshmen ablaze with the fire to crack summers at the doyens of marketing world (HUL, ITC, P&G, RB, Nestle, Marico, among others) I feel the need of sharing my preparation journey with them. What follows is months of planning penned down into a brief set of words, here it goes:
How do you know you have had a successful internship? By cracking a PPO? No, that's just the result. Development Assessment Centres exercises are the key to gauging your performance. With exercises like Presentations, Role-Playing, Consensus Building, etc which are customised for each intern, you can expect a fun yet informative measure of your performance. Watch two b-school students in conversation about how they fared the assessment centre activities.
This NMIMS student was one of the 4 interns at Reliance who spent some time at the Jamnagar plant as a part of her internship. A new place, a new role, but that didn't stop it from being like a family. A small group but increased cohesiveness. And what better way to seal a new friendship than with icecreams? And with colleagues like that, who needs friends? Watch this video to know more!
What if we told you that your internship needn't be the most boring 2 months of your life? You can go for cricket matches in stadiums, you can experience the crazy life of the Maximum City - Mumbai, you can learn how to swim, you can have a perfect work-life balance, and you have the freedom to do your project the way you want to do it. Sounds interesting? That's exactly how this IIM Kozhikode student spent her summer at Reliance. Watch this video to know more.
The transition from being a student to an intern can be a challenging one. But that's where the real learning is. Unlike what the b-school culture would have us believe, it's not about competing, but about the art of collaborating. Exchanging ideas, pitching new ideas, working as a team, etc is what you learn as an intern. And that's exactly what this IIM Ahmedabad student learnt at his internship at Reliance Industries Limited this summer. Watch this video to know more.
Exposure and Opportunities are the two things that any b-school student expects from his/her internship. But can you imagine the kind of exposure and opportunities you can get when your mentor is the CEO of Reliance Digital? Can you imagine the learning experience? Imagine the responsibilities you could get. While you can imagine it, one b-school student from IIM Bangalore, Manjari Agrawal, actually experienced it.
What could be the similarity between this NITIE student and Lord Varys? Lord Varys and his little birds are famous for procuring information from the entire land of Westeros. Like Lord Varys, this NITIE student is a part of the procurement and the contracts team at Reliance.
