Just a few days before the internship was about to end, we were informed that 6 of 17 total interns had been selected to present their project to MD of ICICI Lombard. Three of us from IIM Nagpur were amongst those selected interns, and I was one of them. I felt ecstatic but at the same time I was worried- one last deliverable, and I had to make the most of it! I was all confident for the work I did during my Internship, but the presentation to top management involving MD, VP - Wholesale & Retail & Head – HR made me nervous. Finally, it went very well, much more than what I expected. Series of questions from MD, made me realise that he is looking at how far my ideas/suggestions can go. Some recommendations and new business opportunities were very much appreciated by him. In the end, it was this appreciation that made me realise that hard work is always rewarded. My time at ICICI Lombard was nothing short of an adventure – reviews, feedbacks, deliverables, appreciation, and meeting some of the sharp minded people there.
The best thing I liked about ICICI Lombard is the seriousness by which they look at the projects allocated to Interns. Days after Summer Internship, I am still in touch with my colleagues at ICICI Lombard discussing my research work and about how things can be taken forward from where I left. I think no work can make you more contented! The way I understood what things the top management expects when it comes to meeting with them, was a great learning. My summer internship experience or “Anubhav” (Internship Programme at ICICI Lombard) as they put it, was definitely enriching and something that helped me understand or at least gave me a heads-up on what I wish to pursue in the long term.
