❖ A brief overview of the project
My internship was in Mergers & Acquisition department at
Deloitte and I was a part of 3 projects during my internship. In
all three projects, Deloitte was appointed to conduct either
commercial or operational due diligence of possible target
companies, for the client. Apart from the projects, we had to
work on firm initiatives, which were designed to help the firm
function in a better way, I was a part of 3 FIs during my time at
Deloitte.

❖ How is a normal day at the Internship?

On a normal day, the Indian team would get a touchpoint call

ask if we could speak regd. that. It might sound very trivial, but it really helped me a lot to do networking at the
firm.

❖ What did you do right and what did you do wrong?

I think I never panicked during my internship, despite the workload, especially given the fact that we were
