Hi Saurabh,

Nice to know your experiences @ Marico.

You hit the bulls eye - customer is not the king , for us BOSS is the king Evil or Very Mad

Could you post in some more detail about your project, how the field which you are in functions and what were your learnings. the objective of this community is to learn from other's expereinces , so it would make a difference if we could learn more specific details about your expereinces Idea

well my experience in HUDCO during the internship is pretty gud.....i learned a lot ther n also came to know tht the practical implementation of the things we learn in classrooms are very differnet..............Also it was fun working in the GOVT. Organization coz ppl there are not that much professional as in case of private organizations which made it easier for me to mingle wid them easily..........overall its Great to work in Govt Sector Guys.............................

Hey Mudita,


Well what i feel is that internships is all about getting real world exposure so while your summer intern @ Hudco is a good experience do u think it prepares u for private sectorwork culture?

Also do you think goven sector is attractive enough for MBA's as a career option? paypackage must be pretty low so most of us have educational loans to repay....but i admit job satisfaction would be higher Smile

so wht is ur work @ Hudco about and what were your specific learnings and observations

Hi people,
I am presently doing my internship in lifestyle stores international.

Now, my experiences has been really good. My learning has been quite good which is the real motive behind the internship program.
Now, in retail, whatever we talk, the destination is only one. Which ever route u take, it is ok, but u gotta reach the destination and that too successfully. And no prizes for guessing, its the CONSUMERS. WHat i found out what being a consumer is very very easy. They are pampered with best of the products. So it was really a revelation to see what it takes for being a successful store.

Also, I worked as a consumer service rep for 2 weeks and i had an oppurtunity to interact with loads of consumers. So that was kind of enriching my knowledge and restated many of the myths that I had. Also most importantly, the thought that the consumer doesnt have much knowledge would prove fatal for the organization. Thus this is the aspect we have to keep in mind and shoo away with what ever loop holes you find in your product.

Also it was a great experince working wit the marketing team evaluating their loyalty program. Thus it was a exhilirating experince, but just that it is too long. Just as the saying goes, anything should be a like a mini skirt. "Short enough to arouse interest and long enough to cover the subject". A little masala to end it, eh? Wink
