Jainil would be working with the Strategy and Operations Planning domain and his role would primarily involve research around ASEAN countries and identifying business potential in nations. He says he would love to witness the Subprime Crisis and the collapse of United States of 2008. His mantra for life is to always be passionate about what one does. If granted a superpower, Abhishek would love to go invisible. That one thing that he would miss about his campus during these two months is "BishuDa ka Dhaba".

Whenever I look back at my internship days I feel so sorry for for ABG and its pathetic ABGLP program. So it all starts usually with induction program at Mumbai and on last day people are given their respective internship locations, so those who get foreign locations (third world countries majorly) in the name of branding get too much carried away and feel super elated only to realize in the end that what all they did at those locations was filling random data in excel sheets and doing work on behalf of their supervisors. In the name of monitoring a report is asked 1 months after the initiation and thats all folks. During the final phase everyone will fly back to Mumbai to give presentation about their internship work and for an assessment center evaluation. Now, the misery for candidates arises when the 'esteemed' panelist compare great projects with 'random data entry work' and obviously in the end the latter comes out empty handed without any PPI/PPO. So, all in all what does it take to get a PPI/PPO ...hard work ? Are you serious ? ...... dedication ? Still ? ....... Its just based on your luck, if you are allocated a great project then no one in its entirety can stop you from getting a PPI/PPO and if you get a not so good project at a fancy location then say hi to all your foreign location memories and bye to ABG, I know life is tough but thats how it is here. Every now and the big talks happen about employee motivation, engagement blah blah blah but believe me I have seen people not getting a PPI/PPO because of their hard luck and later get into big shot organizations like BCG, Mckinsey etc. and I have seen some of very good people who lost their hearts because of this randomness and landed into not so good companies. A win or may be a loss for a candidate but surely a loss-loss situation for 'big' Indian conglomerate.
