My project involved the digital transformation of the end-to-end
business planning for the Polymers division of the
Petrochemicals function in RIL. This involved devising a
comprehensive business planning platform which would
facilitate enhanced visibility of the planning process & provide a
one-stop solution to all the planning related needs for the
Polymer division.

❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?

Challenges faced:

A primary challenge for me was to ascertain the complete problem statement – understanding the scope and

the deliverables demanded from me. In my case the problem statement was quite open ended with no

definitive scope – so it was imperative that I meet with the stakeholders and identify the expectations on the
project before kick-off. The second challenge was to ensure availability of multiple stakeholders at a single
timeframe – especially since my project demanded it. This was a crucial requirement and required constant
follow-up with the stakeholders to ensure that we could identify potential pain-points in the existing process.
