❖ A brief overview of the project
My summer internship project was about Analysis of
Stressed Assets in steel sector in India. I interned in the
Structured Assets Team at Axis. The domain was Finance
cum Risk cum Strategy. I had to study how the risks
identified while lending panned out, analyse and simulate
some financial models and finally gave recommendations as
to what check points should the bank look for before
lending in steel sector.

❖ How is the normal day at the internship?
You are not treated as an intern at the organization. The

whole setup was made in such a way that I felt as if I'm one
RAUNAK MEHTA among the team. The day started with brief discussion with

AXIS BANK the mentors and then working till you are done with the
day’s work.
