My faculty Guide Pradeep Sadarpatil Sir regularly talked with us, discussed our progress and learnings, guided us on points of learnings and most importantly he regularly discussed how we can extract more knowledge and information from company based on his prior experience from the company. Peers supported in many new learning related to digital marketing.

Careers360: How was your experience with the summer internships? What are the key takeaways that you can look back on from it?

Prabhat Kumar Singh: Reading marketing books, data analysis, soft skills vs practically doing it in real time constraint has a lot of difference.

  1. Practical experience with real time constraint.

  2. Learning multiple new digital tools.

  3. Practically using what I learned.
