My Learnings From An Internship

Following my plan of working in a company as a trainee, or as an intern was finally put into action, when I had taken up an internship in a start-up company before two months. The total internship period was of two months, and I was selected after undergoing a rigorous selection process, in which there were more than 20 students who were screened. I had done this internship during my summer vacations, and now the final year of my graduation has commenced.

While selecting the internship, I primarily focused on the learnings that I would be able to extract out of the same and not on the money part. Many of my other friends were just looking for a Paid Internship in India, and didn’t prefer the ones which only gave a small amount of stipend. But I, on the other hand was not interested behind just running after the paid summer internship in Delhi, and agreed for doing this internship at just a stipend of Rs. 3,000 per month.

I learned a lot by working in the company in which I took an internship in. My friends also realized that, when they compared my learnings with theirs after the internship period ended. This was the point that they also realized that there is no point in just running after the paid internship, but learning is what counts the most.

As my company for internship in Delhi was a startup company, they didn’t have separate departments or huge teams for handling the various operations of the country. The total strength of the company was of 6 members, and it was these three members, who handled everything. By working with them, I also got a chance to do everything. The team of members led by their dynamic promoter motivated me in all the aspects and also taught me all the things that I was not aware of. Secondly, the challenges that the company was facing as a startup were humongous! Being able to face those challenges required great dedication, will power, commitment and wits. We all were inspired by our leader and by directly working under the promoter (who was also the owner of the company), I was able to not only explore my potential to the fullest, but I was also able to develop the right kind of dynamism along with an improved personality. I would really like to thank the online portal www.makeintern.com, which had actually helped me to get linked up with such a great company. I can surely say that with the kind of an approach they have they certainly have very bright career prospects.
