A Summer & 8 Weeks At Sattva Consulting
It had been a long and tiring summer placement season, like every other 'Intellectual' in a B-school campus, I too had to watch with a heavy heart, my batch mates take away the shiny cheesecake placements, with all the bells and whistles, those very coveted internships were very glamorous yet unappealing to me, needless to say, this became a handicap for me, being over selective and picky in B-schools placements often lands one onto a point of no return, but, to my battered yet battling luck, this internship fell on my lap, as easy as it sounds, the falling on the lap happened much later. The process that Sattva used to pick me out of the shiny lot was very different from typical summer placement processes. A live case was floated to our batch, the case was extensive and had a lot of elements borrowed from a 'Management Consulting' classroom, but unlike a classroom case, it's requirements weren't defined, case entailed pieces of information about a skill development center in the doldrums, needing diagnosis and correction almost entirely, my proposed solution contained all the requisites curated by my thought, I stuck to good old Drucker-Fuyol style of management thought but mixed it up with my thought and organised the whole thing as I thought a case like that should be solved. I got through the case round and was summoned for an interview with the founders, The interview went on for a good one hour and I was selected to join the consulting service team as a summer intern.
