❖ A brief overview of the project
They are two projects I worked on during my internship
tenure. First one was “Identification & Analysis of Profitability
metrics for Alternative Investment funds and Mutual funds”.

structure of the company and built a excel model to quantify
the distributor expenses. The model helps to make decisions

was “Analysis of European private debt landscape”. This

conceptualize formulas, having brainstorming sessions with
GENERAL INFORMATION senior management and other days it is doing mundane excel

work. So, on average the day looked something like this:
Batch: PGDIM 25
8:30 AM: Reach office by this time. Talk with my

7:00 PM: Meet the guide once again in the evening to clarify the doubts and work on any updates.

Leave the office around 8:00 PM

❖ Challenges faced during internship:

Time management is one of the major challenges, as there are lot of projects to do and I have to prioritize. At the
end I could not complete one project which I agreed to do so.

have any knowledge database and every time, I need to
Data gathering is a challenge because they don’t
approach someone, and it takes almost half a day
to get that data. And again, its my responsibility to verify
whether that data is correct or not. If incorrect , there goes my entire day of work. Its my responsibility to keep
everyone in loop and keep them posted on the work completed. The challenge here is asking guide to take time
