How It Went
On the first day of my internship, the onboarding process was smooth and seamless. I still couldn’t believe that I was now officially interning at RBI. After all the documentation processes, I hit the ground running. I was given a brief about the banking landscape in India and how banks have evolved over the years, which then paved the way for my research work. I worked on analyzing the financial health of co-operative banks in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, assessing them on various parameters. This also gave me an in-depth understanding of new concepts and ideas which I had learned as a first-year MBA student.
The Way Forward
Working remotely, while it’s not a new concept, came with its set of challenges. An MBA program that interweaves liberal arts into its curriculum helps prepare you for these real-world challenges, and that’s why the whole process of pursuing an education and internship virtually wasn’t as difficult as one would’ve imagined. The internship was research-intensive with the added advantage of mentors sharing their views and guiding me in every step of the process.
Right from insightful conversations to discussing the progress of the research project, I am truly grateful to RBI for giving me the opportunity to interact with some of the brightest minds in the country and help me hone my skills. I am also grateful to all the professors at IFMR GSB for always encouraging us to do better and work towards achieving our goals.
