Internship at Mumbai! The dream of almost every student who has spent their life in a non-metro city! Yes, I was one of them. An over-excited over-enthusiastic IIM Sambalpur Student who had got her first chance to live in Mumbai!
My 2 months stint with Bajaj Auto Ltd as a management intern was truly enriching and is one of the most inspiring corporate projects I have worked on.
Hi, I am Riddheish Seth, and this is my story.
A few months ago I was a fresher pursuing MBA and eagerly waiting for the first corporate experience. My summer internship #Octane2018 at Bajaj Auto Ltd was more than what I had imagined. It transformed me into a person entirely, all thanks to the learning and collaborative culture at Bajaj. I was allowed to take decisions independently with a good amount of responsibilities at such an early stage of my career. I was allowed to fail and improve, which has helped me in doing my project in a better way. Managerial capabilities were explored at it's best. Everyone helped and guided me towards my final goal and soon I became a part of the Bajaj family. Special thanks to my mentor and the team members who helped and motivated me throughout the journey.
When I began my MBA journey, I was quite perplexed about the direction in which my career should steer. Determining what job function, role or company I should aspire to during my search for a summer internship seemed like a mammoth task. An internship is that beginning of a career when we are so eager to apply everything you’ve learned in a real job. However, with my past experience in the automotive sector as R&D engineer, I wished to explore it more. Also, I wished to step out of my comfort zone.
I still remember it was during the time when I along with few of my batch mates were busy challenging each other in the game of table tennis in our college common room that I got a call from the placement committee. I was informed that I was given an opportunity by ‘CP Milk and Food Products’ as a Brand Management Intern in Gyan Dairy for a period of 10 weeks. Though I had already done a thorough research about the organisation and the responsibilities as a brand management intern, being a fresher, I still wasn’t certain if I would be able to give my best and add a value to the organisation. After 3 months, Here I am, getting back to my college as a refined person, with a bag full of enthralling moments and a lot of learnings and experiences.
Whenever I look back at my first year at TISS, the one word that always comes to my mind is…summers! Every now and then, I think of how it all began with the official batch photoshoot: me and my batchmates dressed in sombre suits, grinning ear-to-ear, clueless about where we would get placed or how challenging the journey would be. Before long, we were rushing from class to Pre-Placement Talks, reading up on companies, resisting the urge to bunk lectures because who knows what might come in handy for our summer project?
They say internships create a foundation for a successful career in an organisation. But mine went a step further and created a launch pad which shot me right into the sky among the busy stars! My two-month stint at Bajaj Auto was a journey full of excitement, exuberance and emulsification under the continual guidance of senior leaders and the HR team.
