Interning at India
Bound was basically taking a glimpse into how the corporate world actually
works. It was definitely an eye opening experience. I realised how is it it to
actually deal with strict deadlines, coming up with impromptu solutions,
managing expectations and so on. More than anything it was a great learning
experience, both in terms of knowledge and personal development.
With regards to
knowledge, we had to work on recent Sri Lanka blasts, terrorism within India,
we archived the news of the last 3 years, and through working on these projects
we gained a very thorough understanding on these issues. We were expected to be
updated on the recent events that are happening all around the world. We also
gained technical knowledge with regards to writing a business report, better
usage MS Office and so on.
At a personal level
almost all of us got into the habit of reading newspaper daily, we learnt to
deal with pressure and also we also realised that we should learn to handle
criticism.
Our seniors and heads
were more often than not patient with us but there were also an occasion where
we were reprimanded but that was all a packaged deal.
All in all, interning
at India Bound was definitely an interesting experience and I definitely feel
better prepared to step into the professional world after working here.
