Since then, every evening we updated our Project Guide about the improvements on the research part and the corresponding deck we prepared. By the first week of May, we had almost completed the task that was assigned, so our guide set up a meeting with our Mentor to have a mid-review, feedback about the same. Although we were nervous, the feedback went pretty well and our Mentor who was from the USA was very straightforward in his assessment and sincere with his suggestions. We were relaxed after that review and went about making the changes suggested, had our final review with Guide and Mentor in the last week of May, they were impressed by our work. We even did some further research on the topic since we had time left. Some important lessons learned from the internship were:
1. From the very first day, sit down with your Project Guide or Mentor and have a clear understanding of the project deliverables, write it down and get it sanctioned.
2. Have constant feedback from the project guide, they are more than keen to help you with the task and unless you go and ask for help in the organisation, no one will know what work you are doing.
3. Everyone at Capgemini was helpful and was happy to oblige if you are ready to take the first step. The culture at the company is awesome, instead of waiting for weekends, here employees have TGIM, Thank God, it's Monday where song and dance celebrations are held every Monday from 1 pm to 2 pm.
During our after-work hours, we explored Chennai and during weekends, we visited the beaches and famous temples in and around the city. Lastly, I would like to thank Capgemini for giving me this opportunity and making me a better MBA professional than I was when I joined the organisation. The memories that I have from this internship is something unique that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
