Internship Experience-India Bound-Sreetama Chakraborty


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.
