Participate In Summer Saga Season 8 & Win Upto Rs. 15,000!
Hi, Tell us about how you got selected for this internship? Take us through the moment you realized you had got the internship.
I was selected through campus placement
It was a dream come true to become a part of the TATA FAMILY
On joining the company as an intern, how has your onboarding experience been like?
The onboarding went quite smooth, with the campus team (Hr managers) organizing tete-a-tete with PPOed interns, conducting leadership meets and engaging all of us via activities. We also received a COVID19 insurance cover of Rs. 50,000 valid till our last date in the organization
How has your interaction with the team members and colleagues been like? How will you make sure to leave the best impression on your supervisors by the end of the internship?
I have received a chance to interact with multiple stakeholders from various teams considering the team I work for acts as a common node thus creating a cross functional network
Owing to the pandemic, most of the senior managers are overloaded considering their colleagues are themselves down with COVID-19 or some of their relative and therefore are on a leave. I tend to respect the time the senior managers allot through appropriate and to the point doubt clearing
I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning and wanted my mentor to be there on each meeting but now I have gained confidence and take the lead to organize conference with CFT single handed. That said, I am still in the learning phase and not quite well versed with all the intricacies but would strive to learn it soon so there is no hindrance to the flow of tasks
Tell us in brief, about the project you are currently working on and how is this project going to help the company?
I am working for Tata Sampann and we are looking at certain new product launches in FY22. The work I do revolves around the same where there is a proper timeline to be followed, from concept ideation, validation to launch stage where multiple teams are involved. I keep track whether these teams are on track and on time through collection of regular updates
