My First Innings At Corporate World - Summer Saga 2020

My internship was scheduled to begin from April 1st in Mumbai, and I was looking ahead to the new beginnings. But due to the COVID-19 situation, the internship was declared to be a work from home one. I was pretty perplexed about what effect this transformation would have on my career. With a hundred doubts in my mind, I virtually joined the Business Services department in Capgemini. And as the induction took place, all my apprehensions were dismissed. I am obliged to the Capgemini team for such a warm welcome. Then, we were assigned project titles and were introduced to our guides. My work was analyzing the Hedge Fund & Mutual Fund industry in the European Region. I was not much acquainted with the Hedge Fund industry. Also, my understanding of the European market was limited. But my mentor and buddy helped me in every possible way. They ensured that I learn about and apply the concepts into the project.

I want to say that challenges bring up the best of one's capabilities. My internship was one such opportunity for me. With problems knocking my door every day, I was able to pass all the challenges. My learnings from this internship are immense, and I believe they would help me a lot in all my future endeavours.
