❖ A brief overview of the project
My project topic was “Propose a Futuristic Delivery model to
address customer expectation & align with Business
capabilities”. Wipro had adopted shared services for its SAP
services back in 2018. But the concept hadn’t produced the
expected results, 1 year and it was still in its pilot form. So, I
was given the task to make it futuristic and at the same time
address the issues it was facing so that it could be
implemented in all other sub verticals. First, I started with
doing secondary research. What are the current trends in IT
industry, what are the client expectations? Then I learnt
about the recent developments in the IT industry. It took me

about 2 weeks to come up with the data. Then I went for the
SIDHARTH KHATUA primary research. Here came the difficult part. I took

interviews of all delivery managers and project managers
WIPRO allotted to big projects. It was a very difficult task as they

_________________________________________ couldn’t allot time slots and extracting sensitive data from
them was a difficult task. But my mentor came to my rescue
GENERAL INFORMATION and talked with all the managers and provided me with all the

required data.
Batch: PGDIM 25

❖ How is the normal day at the internship?
BTech: NIT, Rourkela
A normal day at the internship started with taking interviews
Work Ex: Fresher with all the managers and compiling the data at the end of
the day. Initially I was quite hesitant approaching the DMs,
but my mentor gave me a pep talk which motivated me to be
proactive
❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?

Initial days into the internship I was totally confused about how to approach the case given and was quite

demotivated. My guide was travelling most of the time and was unable to give me time. My quarter review

went very bad. But after that I had a talk with my mentor who suggested me how to approach the case and

whom to talk to. That helped me a lot to align my thinking in lines with the IT industry. I maintained an excel

tracker writing my everyday developments and at the evening I used to meet my mentor and present him day’s
work. Staying positive and proactive throughout the internship period helps a lot. If the mid-review goes bad

one shouldn’t develop a mindset that his/her internship is done for. You still have 1-month time to bounce back

and do well in your final review. Increasing your visibility in the company helps a lot.

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

Pre-internship preparation – Brush up your communication skills, power-point and most important of all excel
skills.
