Rakesh's Bullish Journey At ATS Pvt Ltd - IFMR

It was November then and the second trimester of the first year has just ended and I was waiting for a few trading companies for internship. I have heard about people becoming a billionaire just by investing in the equity market for a few decades. Ace investors like Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Warren Buffet, Raamdeo Agarwal, Ashish Kacholia to name a few have been role model for budding investors. I received a mail about Aditya Trading Solutions (ATS) recruiting for an internship. The selection procedure had two rounds profile based and telephonic interview. Before joining I had to learn the fundamentals of Option theory, Technical Analysis, and Fundamental Analysis. For this, I took the help of Zerodha varsity modules and NISM study materials. My joining was on 2nd April in Chennai. The job profile was “Junior Analyst”. I was surprised to see a separate system assigned to all the interns with a name on it. Within 15 minutes I received a welcome mail from the HR. This eased my nerves. Then the work was assigned which was a mix of various disciplines of Management i.e. Finance, Marketing and Strategic Management. I worked on the analysis of Indian Listed Company and simultaneously predicted the share price and financial health of the company three years down the line. This was applicable to sector analysis also. All these were assigned keeping in mind the client’s requirement. Towards the end, I worked on Knowledge Management. The Risk Analysis team gave regular reviews and gave a proper direction to the project. I also got a golden opportunity to attend a seminar in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It was on Cross Currency Derivatives. There I interacted with some of the best minds in the field of finance and they provided inklings on trading as well as on career opportunity in this field. It was a good value addition for me.

Khemant's Summer Internship Ride At Thermax - IFMR

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. The only thing I was clear about was that I wanted an entirely different work experience compared to that of my previous work experience. This summer internship opportunity was indispensable in giving me exposure to an entirely new work area and also in helping me foresee my career path post b-school.

Gurukul At Godrej - Saoumyabrat Tiwari, XIMB

From the very day, I set foot in XIMB, there was one name that seemed to be abuzz. GODREJ. The first company on campus for the summers that not only paid a handsome stipend, but offered one of the best profiles. I was part of the flash mob that welcomed the Godrej team on campus. As I huffed and puffed and crawled up to my seat to catch a breath, the shortlist was announced. I had got the shortlist in the very first company!

A Roller Coaster Ride Of Experience At An HR Start-Up Autogram - Anisha Kanjilal - XAHR

It all started last year when I joined XAHR, erstwhile XIMB-HRM,  with my hands full of baggage and eyes full of dreams. The journey was a bit rusty at the start but once the MBA life sinks into your veins, every day is an experience worth cherishing. And now coming to the most important event in the first year of my MBA – “Summer Internship”. The experience of sitting through the placement process was not new to me because I had 2 years of work experience but this time it was a whole new ball game.

Decoding GEnius : An HR Sojourn At GE Digital

1st June 2018. It was when this riveting journey of 8 weeks reached its official ending. The HR leader for GE Digital India had arranged a small farewell meet-up for me in the afternoon where she had invited all the HRMs in her team. It was however conspicuous by the absence of two very important people in my journey – my mentor, who had delivered her second baby just a couple of days ago and the HRM, an alumnus of my college, with whom I shared my cubicle and was almost like a sounding board for all my innovative as well as ‘not so innovative’ ideas – busy with one of his never-ending strategic meet-ups with the business leaders.  Nevertheless in the meeting, we ended up exchanging a lot of light-hearted moments that we shared with each other over the course of my internship and the takeaways from them in the form of continues and considers (The GE terminology for encouragement to continue good work done and constructive criticism for areas that can be improved). One HRM remarked that the presentation I had prepared was amongst one of the most aesthetic ones that he had seen in his entire career. That coming from a person who has served in prestigious companies like GE, EY, and Tata Steel over a long career was a real shot in the arm for me. The HR leader for GE Digital jokingly recollected about me taking the program managers through almost 50 slides in just 29 minutes in almost a single breath. Well, that was something that summed up the story of my internship – fast, frantic, so less time – yet so much to achieve!
