Have you ever dreamt of working in an industry which will triple its market valuation to USD 150 billion in the next 5 years? If you have your eyes set on a career which will take off like sail to the wind, you’re looking at FinTech. The growth trajectory of India’s FinTech sector has been exhilarating with 2100+ companies in India alone, of which a whopping 67% have been set up in the past 5 years. It is in fact, the 2nd highest funded sector in India after E-Commerce.
If you're looking for a consulting job, you already know which form of an interview to expect: a case interview. A case interview is a type of interview in which you, the interviewee, are given a business challenge to solve (“How can Burger King quadruple its growth?”) or a brain puzzle to solve (“How many ping pong balls fit in this room?”). Cases have a reputation for being intense, quantitatively heavy, and downright terrifying. But they don't have to be—at least not the scary part. So, let’s talk about the tips that you should keep in mind while giving a consulting interview.
We bring to you, the personal Summer Internship Diaries of the students of IIM Shillong, PGP 20. The accounts belong to domains like Marketing, Finance, Consulting & Strategy and General Management. The students share their preparation techniques for the significant 2 months, their internship experiences at the largest MNCs of the world (Google, ITC, PepsiCo, Deloitte, YES Bank, Nomura, Titan, Pidilite, Aditya Birla Group, Amazon, etc.) and their personal learnings, applicable to not just their future organisations, but also their day to day life.
Sandra Anil, Deloitte Prep: Over the few months leading to the internship, I contacted a few alums from our institute who had also interned with Deloitte in the past, to understand the nature of work and how best I could prepare myself. The internship kick-started with a jam-packed induction week. The induction week encompassed sessions on consulting skills such as Storyboarding and Research Methodologies. The sessions were conducted by various senior practitioners in Deloitte and in addition, each team was also assigned a practitioner as a mentor for the Case Study Simulation. This provided a stellar platform for us to interact with other practitioners across the firm.

Divya took up Healthcare Management as her preferred choice, when it came to taking a decision on which course she would like to take up from WeSchool. A decision that a lot of aspirants can’t take easily. Whether to opt for a specialized MBA or go for a general one! For Divya, the decision was a bit easier, as she followed her interest and passion. Joining Glenmark, a leading pharmaceutical company in August, Divya spilled the beans of her success and the role of her B-school to make her a confident individual who is ready to take on challenges head on. This is the excerpt of the interview:
Choosing which domain to start their respective careers in becomes a decision that a lot of students struggle with. There are pros and cons associated with each of the domains out there and the first decision always remains crucial for many. This can go on to decide what your career looks like three, five or even ten years down the line. So which career path does India's crème de la crème lean towards? What sectors and roles do IIM students see themselves in, and why? That’s what we discuss in this episode of Basics of MBA with Sarah Gajbhiye.
