\"Nitisha\"Nitisha Pandey has been with Internshala for about 10 months. She recently left her super-amazing internship with Internshala for a job at TCS. But we still love her, and admire her for her strength, resilience and general awesomeness. She has been behind the success of many of Internshala’s endeavours, and here she writes about her time at Internshala:<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been thinking pretty hard about what to exclude from this write-up, because they are so many things to say. Ten months is a very long time and one article wouldn\u2019t be enough. So I will exclude the being thankful, the things I learnt and what I did at Internshala part. The next section will tell you why.<\/p>\n

Internshala has given me both power and freedom (with expert guidance, of course). How?<\/p>\n

Remember the innumerable times you\u2019ve given up on yourself and said \u2013 \u2018I don\u2019t know this\u2019 or \u2018How can I do it?\u2019 Well, Internshala changes that. It gives you the power to do things which will make you treat the company as your own, to make people win, to judge others based on your experience and capability and in no time your thinking will turn into \u2013 \u2018Hell yeah! I can do it\u2019. There\u2019s nothing to which you won\u2019t say yes. Internshala has given me the freedom to challenge myself, to implement my ideas practically and receive feedback, to choose what I wanted to work on and take a break when I wanted to.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d think that working with a start-up has its advantages, but let me point it out very clearly that the people in the organization matter the most. Being a work from home intern isn\u2019t easy, not when your entire team is only virtually connected from all the four corners of the nation. Incredible, right? So, believe me when I say that the IS team is spectacular. There\u2019s Sarvesh \u2013 the founder\/CEO and Mr. Perfectionist. The amount of insight he puts into every single detail (from a comma, a space to the entire format of a post or an email) will certainly amaze you and so will his tricks at poker (this I\u2019ve only heard of). Ruchi is like the elder sister I never had. She\u2019s the Head of Employer Relations and a sweetheart. From work to personal relationship advice, you can discuss anything with her. Then, there\u2019s Jaai (Yes, I\u2019ve spelled it correctly and it\u2019s the name of a girl). She is a younger version of me, but way smarter. She\u2019s the social media expert at IS and the one who\u2019s constantly trolled. Abhinav is the geek God who manages all the technical details of the website and keeps it rolling. Sonal, Sidharth and Suthirth \u2013 the three musketeers of Internshala deserve a special mention. Let\u2019s just say that they keep Internshala alive. Not to forget, that there are many hidden faces too who are responsible for Internshala\u2019s success and its present glory.<\/p>\n

You would want me to stop with the bragging, but I\u2019ve not mentioned the great stuff yet. Internshala helped me afford an Android smartphone for myself (yes, we\u2019re paid good and to our worth), gifts for my parent\u2019s birthdays and pamper myself with a few new dresses too.\u00a0 The surprise contests between the team members with mobile recharge as prize and the Internshala tees make you feel special and will get you eager to indulge in a little show-off.<\/p>\n

Now that it\u2019s time to say goodbye, I feel proud and fortunate to be associated with Internshala. It has helped me through one of the toughest times of my life (waiting to get my joining letter :P) and given me an amazing experience to cherish. I will always owe you one Internshala. Wishing you all the best and success in all your future endeavors.<\/p>\n
