Overall Internship experience
My internship experience was amazing. I got to interact with the senior management of the company daily and the best thing about Maersk GSC is that they invest time in their interns. My team included 4 other members and they always made sure that I got all the information and guidance needed to implement the task. One of my team members Preeti Dalal was always there to guide and take the project in the right direction. She also made sure that I get to interact with other employees and see if I can contribute to any of the tasks. My manager Vidya Padmanabhan made sure that I got enough exposure by the senior management. Utkarsh and Swati Parikh were my mentors and their guidance and inputs always helped me. One of my seniors Mr. Balasubramanian V.K. who is working at Maersk GSC guided me to know what tools and technology I have to prepare before joining as an intern and how I should approach and have an open mind to work on any project or tool which is given to me.
Key learnings and takeaways from the internship
I learned how Machine learning and data science can help solve complex problems faced by the supply chain business. Maersk GSC is using machine learning algorithms to solve complex problems. I feel the future of analytics will be in the supply chain industry and working with Maersk GSC gave me a chance to explore this field and to find out how analytics can solve such problems.
Learning from the first year of your MBA and how it helped you during the internship?
I think apart from the normal studies in the college, we all should keep asking for more from the college. I never hesitated to ask any question in the class and my teachers never hesitated to answer it. They made sure that our doubts are cleared and we have enough hands-on experience before our internship starts. The interactive classroom coaching cleared all my doubts. This kind of education makes us more diligent towards our objective. This is one quality that I always wanted to show to Maersk GSC.
What advice would you like to give your juniors?
Have a focused approach. Find out your weaknesses and work on it and never miss any class.
