❖ A brief overview of the project

Project Title – Creation of Annual Rate Contract (ARC) for
procurement of Industrial gases for 3 manufacturing sites of
RIL.

I had to interact with different buyer team(RIL teams
rd
operating from Jamnagar & Hazira), vendors (3 party) and
my own P&C(procurement & Contract) team, and come up
with the quantity of different industrial gases (total 251 kinds
of gases were there) that might be required for the next year
through demand planning. Then I had to get
offers/quotations from vendors and then do negotiations on
the pricing and timelines of product supply. I had to
document the whole process in a form of SOP, such that the
J SHIVA SUBRAMANIAN
rate terms can be used for 1-2 years. Legal part of contracting
RIL was not in my scope. Similarly, I was assisted for negotiating
with vendors, by the team.

GENERAL INFORMATION ❖ How is a normal day at the Internship?

In reliance, we had flexible timing, so I generally reached
Batch: PGDIM 25
office at around 8:30 am and called off the day by around
BTech: SSN College of 6:00 pm. But the amount of work varied, and some days we
had to stay longer, other days we were relatively free.
Engineering Normal day also depends on your team members’ arrival to
office. But it typically required 9-9:30 hours at office.
Stream: Chemical

Work Ex: FL Smidth Pvt Ltd

❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?

1. Proper idea regarding what was the expectation of my manager for this project. Since the project was divided

into various phases, I was not clear of my target.

2. Managers would be higher-ups who would be typically busy, and hence getting their time for guiding us for

our project would be bit difficult. But in RIL, our managers would guide us within the limited time and would try
to clarify most of our queries.

rd
3. Interaction with 3 party stakeholders – This proved challenging as vendors were reluctant to share
information with me, since I was only an intern. But within 2 months, I could create a little rapport with 2-3
vendors over continuous interaction.
