My Summer Internship At BCG - Archika From IIM Indore

BCG ensured that we were treated as employees and got exposed to an employee’s day-to-day life. Being a fresher, interning with BCG has given me a first-hand experience of corporate culture and its intellectually stimulating work has made my learning curve steeper. I have learnt the importance of structured problem solving and use of logic to understand an industry without necessarily having a background in it. My work had kept me on my toes every moment since I knew my recommendations would make a huge difference to the client’s business. Taking ownership of my work and conducting meetings with the client to align with him on my recommendations has been an unparalleled experience.

My 9 weeks’ stint at BCG has made me grow as a person both professionally and personally thanks to the constantly available mentors and buddies owing to BCG’s employee support initiatives. I have gotten introduced to some of the smartest people in the corporates and would forever be thankful to BCG for the professional network and close bonds of friendship it has helped me build. I don’t have to hesitate at all for taking any career or life-related advice from anyone from BCG. Everyone is literally just a call away!

Also, apart from getting a flavor of working in the consulting industry, I have  gotten to learn how to communicate effectively with people and convince them. And of course, I have learnt the art of making impactful PPTs!

I couldn’t have asked for more and would always be grateful to IIM Indore for giving me this opportunity!
