Internship Experience At Samsung Electronics Limited - The Holy Grail Of Electronics - IIM Indore

The office had 2 relaxing rooms, equipped with coffee machines, water coolers, fridges, microwaves and a few tables. The office also had a pretty good dining area where lunch was served. The lunch was delicious and consisted of a tetrapak drink (Juice, Chaach or Lassi), 3 main course items, 2 breads (roti and paratha/rumali roti), 2 salad items, 1 snack item (kachori, tikki, samosa or golgappa, Padad and sweet dish).

My schedule would look something like this:

8:30AM-12PM: Sitting in the office, meeting my mentor, reviewing the data collected so far, planning for that day's market visit.

12PM-1PM: Lunch

1PM onwads: Field visit

In the first week, the Area Sales Managers took us to the important markets and introduced us to the people there. After that, we started conducting our independent visits.

We were given freedom and flexibility to proceed at our own pace. During the course of the internship, I got the opportunity to attend product launch meetings. I could see all the marketing concepts learnt in the classroom in action. From STP to delivering the product pitch, everything was immaculate. The entire Samsung team consists of smart, hardworking and passionate people. It is, therefore, no surprise that Samsung is the leader in the consumer electronics division. Dynamism is at the core of Samsung. Changes and innovation take place continuously. No wonder Samsung holds the Second largest number of patents in the world.

On 9th of May 2017, I had my mid-review. My progress was reviewed by the project guide and the project mentor. They suggested a few minor changes here and there, but on the whole, they seemed satisfied. After the mid-review, I got a little breathing room. When the mid review got over, the realization sank in that 5 weeks were already over, and I had only 3 more weeks of internship left.

Now, I am in the 7th week of my internship. My final review is approaching soon. I better start giving finishing touches to my final report. It has been a remarkable experience till now. Wish me all the best for the final review :)

Catch you later.
