'Re-Imagining Finance' - Summer Internship At AkzoNobel - Sumeet Mohapatra, JBIMS

'Re-Imagining Finance' - Summer Internship At AkzoNobel - Sumeet Mohapatra, JBIMS

When you dream a career in Finance and land at the right place and the right college. Here the place is Mumbai and the college is JBIMS. As soon as I joined JBIMS, preparation for summer interviews started in full swing. Our seniors and alums helped us a lot in building a solid resume and also took several rounds of mock interviews. I brushed up all the current affairs, read "The Hindu" and "Business Standard" line to line. The scope of career paths in Finance puzzled me a lot. I narrowed my focus to companies which offered Corporate Finance role. As Corporate Finance provides a multitude of career paths starting from Treasury to General Management. Luckily, after 2 rounds of interview, I got an internship offer from AkzoNobel (famously known for its "Dulux" brand), the world's 2nd largest paint manufacturer. I think going through the annual reports of a company helps a lot in knowing your target companies peers, strength, weakness and of course the core values.

Summer Internship At Ferrero, An Italian FMCG Giant - Shruthi Sharma, SDA Bocconi Asia Center

The month of September began! It was the month of Summer Internships! The air was filled with anxiety, efforts, hard work and CV preparation! Unfortunately or Fortunately (You are free to decide!) I headed the Placement committee and I was responsible not just for myself but the entire batch of 84 students at SDA Bocconi Asia Center! With a heap of responsibility, I worked all day long with the Learning and Development and Corporate Relations team and all night long for my own summers. It was tedious but I knew it would be worth every penny of effort! Then came Day 0 of Summer Internships where we had to manage the whole show! Running between recruiter's desks, taking care of classmates, interview round coordination and reviewing my own CV, there I was.
