My Enthralling Journey At ICICI And Valuable Takeaways - Shilpa Shrivastava, XIMB

I spent the first month understanding my project process and various channels related to it. Thus, I met many Relationship Managers, Sales Officers, RHS and learned their perspectives on my project. I further visited several companies, met important stakeholders and other ICICI offices which dealt with different processes to determine bottlenecks, customer requirement and this gave me requisite field exposure. I liked the fact that whenever I approached my guide, he always took time from his busy schedule to review my progress and provided me with important insights.

The following month, I spent time with various other technical teams to understand the feasibility and technical perspective of my recommendations. There were regular reviews with my mentor and I felt humbled and appreciated when my guide liked my recommendations and I got the opportunity to interact with certain teams for further implementation.

The final day was concluded with a trip to Lonavala organized for interns and it was an enjoyable experience. Thus, I realized that ICICI has a friendly culture with a great work ethic and professionalism where learning and innovations are encouraged, new ideas are appreciated and hard work is valued. My key takeaway would be the invaluable learning I had, the industrial exposure I got and the amazing people I met.

Thank you ICICI for the valuable experience!
