❖ A brief overview of the project
My project revolved around Manufacturing Excellence which is
the core competency of Exide. Driving manufacturing
excellence through process improvements by better capturing
of shop floor data and transition of it into decision making was
the deliverable. Also apart from this I was given the
responsibility of formulating Corporate Risk management
document for Industrial Batteries division.

❖ How is the normal day at the internship?
Company culture was a normal 9-5 job. I used to discuss the
work done on previous day with the team who then guided me

with the shortcomings. Every 14 days I had a meeting with my
RAJAN KUMAR mentor who would give a broader perspective of the project

and expectations for the next week or so.

________________________________________ ❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?
The team with whom I was working was very supportive and
GENERAL INFORMATION helped me with all the understanding the business of the

organization. They explained me clearly regarding expectations
Batch: PGDIM 25
from the project. Major hurdles were faced in getting out data
BTech: Birla Institute of from various departments. People in organizations are
reluctant to share data due to privacy concern. Getting prior
Technology hands on advanced Excel and Tableau would definitely help
interns. Preparing presentation skills also helps convey your
Work Ex: 20 months message in an effective manner. So PowerPoint skills are also
very important.

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

Right: Kept myself updated with exact expectations of mentor

Regularly had a talk with mentor and team regarding my progress

Reached out to various departments to gather data

Attended every day of Summer Internship without any fail with punctuality

Wrongs: Did not have fluent skill on Advanced Excel, Tableau
Could have reached out to more fellow batch interns who were doing similar project
