For me, the five months were simply incredible. Someone who has never travelled beyond the state borders went far east (West Bengal), and right from working on 800 cold calls, generating 12 leads, to finally converting two leads, it was truly a hands-on experience. I travelled 7000 km across three states for the RPET project survey and met 150 aggregators. A comprehensive experience like that is only possible when you have sizeable time.

With this internship, I got the field I coveted—Equity Research of listed companies. I was further trained on Algo-trading and non-listed companies in my company, which is an achievement in its own right. This will be a competitive edge to my entry into Finance.

The two major takeaways from this internship are that I bettered my persuading skills and learned how to leave a mark on a client. I am proud that the clients I worked with still know me by my name. This cannot be achieved in a two-month internship. This is only possible when your work allows you to interact in volumes over a substantial period.
