The best thing about working in a startup is - “You’ll get to learn a lot” as stated by our seniors and people with work experiences.
On the eve of my International Economics mid-term, I received a mailer by Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. outlining my project details and its location, Kenya. In an instant, the mid-term was a distant memory and all I could think about was about my project. I was excited about the deliverables of my project yet apprehensive because of what I had heard from various uninformed sources about Kenya.
I could still remember it clearly, the weather was foggy when I set foot out of my college. It was the day of my final exam but I was not relieved about that. Believe me, exam times at an IIM can get pretty hectic (much more than usual exams) and there is a certain relief when they do get over. But this particular day, that was not the case. It was these coming two months that lay shrouded by a fog of uncertainty and doubt in my mind. The excitement due to new opportunities was mixed with doubt about the tasks ahead. With this, I boarded my plane at Delhi and headed to Chennai.
Internship – we had been hearing this word in its various forms, from various sources – friends, PGP2s, Professors, parents for over a year. Coming into IIM Bangalore as a Fresher, I did not quite realise how it would be a life-changing experience, till it actually began.
My Summer Internship experience at Aditya Birla Group was a brilliant mix of indispensable learnings and unique experiences. It would be appropriate to say that Aditya Birla Group Leadership Programs (ABGLP) literally open up all the doors to the World of Opportunities. I was lucky enough to get through the day-long selection process that ABG does on very few prestigious campuses across the co untry.
My Internship at Idea Cellular Corporate Office landed me in Maya Nagari – Mumbai, nothing touristy this time, the feeling and aura was something different. There were indeed a lot of apprehensions to how would Mumbai be, how would the two long months of internship span out, with all these thoughts in my mind I started my journey 45 minutes long journey to my hotel - Idea surely did make us feel special in Aamchi Mumbai with the hospitality they offered. I woke myself early to the Monday, I had been looking out for months and having jitters is well pretty normal. There were 16 interns from all over India at the corporate office. Post our induction we were sent out to interact with our mentors. I was assigned to work with the Learning and Development (L&D) team of Idea; was introduced and welcomed by each and every member of the team. Most of day one went away in settling and buckling me for the journey ahead.
Have you ever been on a roller coaster ride, the one where your heart nearly pounces out of your body? A roller coaster ride seems intimidating and gives you an adrenaline rush but at the end leaves you ecstatic. Well, my summer saga of 2017 at Avalon Consulting Company was akin to a roller coaster ride and probably the best one that I have experienced ever.
