Throughout my internship, I learnt how companies are valued pre-merger and applied the techniques learnt to individually value and present a Company to the partner of EY.
The highlights of what I learnt through this internship, beyond Valuations, can be summarised by the word ‘PLANS’
-P: Being Proactive, a very important trait if you wish to succeed in a service organisation. It ensured that all my doubts got addressed in time and I did not have any last minute hassles.
-L: A day is as long as you wish to make it (learnt in PGP1 as well! Vetted here)
-A: Articulate clearly
-N: Networking, being that critical bond that nurtured relationships for a life time
-S: Structured thoughts, like a client deliverable, clear, concise and precise
During the final presentations, I realised that all the jargons that were thrown at us in the class were not meant to give us a competitive edge but were essentials to survive in the industry. More or less, all the industry people knew them. (And I thought I had an edge over some :P)
Then came the realisation that two months had passed by. It was a time to bid adieu. The last day was spent with an ice cream party, mimicking people and loads of masti. Not to forget the pen that EY gave me, a personalised pen with my name inscribed on it!
As internship draws to a close, I have to leave Mumbai again. However, the excitement of being a PGP2 takes over the sadness of leaving home and am excited to have a hectic (or not-so-hectic) year at IIMV again.
