some time at the store level interacting with the staff and even a few customers and it added great value to my
project.

❖ What are the things to keep in mind in the internship?

The most important thing is to not get overwhelmed by the expectations the companies usually have from you.
When I first discussed my project with the SCM team, they were like Pinank this a big problem and we aren’t
able to dedicate some time specifically for this and hence you have been assigned this.

The other thing is trying to understand the project from various angles. Being from supply chain, I also worked
closely with operations, procurement and marketing. This would certainly add great value.

❖ What pre-internship preparation do you suggest for juniors?

There is nothing much required as most of the companies have a full-fledged internship program to help the
students. I would suggest understanding the industry in which your company operates (Ex. Retail, E-Comm,
Banking, FMCG etc) and some basics of MS Excel and you would be good to go.

❖ Anything else you would like to add

Interact with as many people you can and get inputs from them. Always be in touch with NITIE Alums working
in the company as they are certainly the best source of help you can have.

All the best!!
