INTRODUCTION ABOUT INTERNSHIP

The journey of education is a perpetual exploration, a constant pursuit of knowledge and skills that
shape individuals into adept professionals. The 60-day intensive program on applied business
management, organized by the Central Instrumentation Facility at Cholamandalam investment and
finance company, sambalpur, has been a transformative experience that transcends traditional
learning boundaries. This immersive program has equipped me with a comprehensive toolkit of
skills essential for navigating the intricate landscape of business and management.
An internship at Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company Limited (CIFCL) offers a
unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the financial services industry. As one of India’s
leading non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and a part of the esteemed Murugappa Group,
Chola provides a dynamic platform for students and young professionals to bridge the gap between
academic knowledge and practical application in a real-world corporate setting.

Overview of the Internship Program


Chola stands out as a company with a strong focus on financial inclusion, customer-centricity, and
innovation. An internship here is not just about gaining exposure but also about making meaningful
contributions to a company that empowers individuals, businesses, and communities through its
diverse financial solutions.

Interns at Chola are exposed to a broad spectrum of financial services, including vehicle finance,
home loans, loan against property, SME loans, and rural finance. This diverse portfolio enables
interns to develop a comprehensive understanding of various segments of the financial sector while
working on impactful projects.

The Applied Business Management program was meticulously designed to provide a holistic
understanding of the practical aspects of running a successful business. Over the course of 60 days,
we delved into various facets of business management, ranging from event organization and
teamwork to leadership, patience, managerial understanding, and corporate etiquette. The program
also placed a strong emphasis on honing essential digital skills, including proficiency in Microsoft
Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, as well as effective presentation techniques.

Building Strong Foundations: Event Organization and Teamwork

One of the program's initial focal points was event organization, a skill that is fundamental in the
business world. Through hands-on experiences and practical exercises, we learned the intricacies
of planning and executing events successfully. The emphasis on teamwork was paramount,
highlighting the importance of collaboration and effective communication within a team. These
early lessons laid the foundation for the subsequent exploration of leadership skills.

Leadership Skills: Nurturing Future Business Leaders

Leadership is not just a title; it is a set of skills that empower individuals to guide teams towards
shared goals. The program provided us with insights into various leadership styles and strategies.
Through case studies, simulations, and real-world scenarios, we honed our decision-making
abilities and learned to navigate challenges as effective leaders. The importance of adaptability,
vision, and resilience in leadership roles became evident during this phase of the program.

Patience and Managerial understanding: Keys to Successful Management

In the dynamic world of business, patience is a virtue, and managerial understanding is


indispensable. We delved into the art of strategic decision-making, understanding the importance
of foresight and agility in managing diverse business situations. The program not only imparted
theoretical knowledge but also encouraged practical application through case analyses and
roleplaying exercises. These experiences enhanced our ability to make informed decisions and
reinforced the understanding that effective management requires a delicate balance of patience and
proactive decision-making.
Corporate Etiquette: Navigating the Professional Landscape

The program also placed a strong emphasis on corporate etiquette, recognizing the significance of
professional conduct in the business realm. Through workshops and interactive sessions, we
learned the nuances of professional behaviour, effective communication, and interpersonal skills.
The exposure to corporate culture provided valuable insights into the expectations of the
professional world, preparing us for the transition from academic to corporate environments.

Financial understanding: Budget Handling and Understanding of Stock Markets

An integral part of business management is financial understanding, and the Applied Business
Management program at the Central Instrumentation Facility, Kalinga University, Naya Raipur,
played a pivotal role in enhancing our financial acumen. The program offered a meticulous
exploration into the intricacies of budget handling, where we gained a profound understanding of
resource allocation, efficient utilization, and the optimization of financial decisions. Through
practical exercises and case studies, we were exposed to real-world scenarios, enabling us to
develop the skills necessary for strategic financial management.

Budget handling was not just a theoretical concept but a hands-on experience that emphasized the
importance of fiscal responsibility in organizational success. We were tasked with creating and
managing budgets for simulated projects, where decisions had tangible consequences. This
practical approach allowed us to witness the direct impact of financial choices on project outcomes.
Moreover, discussions and feedback sessions facilitated a deeper understanding of budgeting
strategies and the significance of adaptability in dynamic business environments.

Furthermore, the program provided us with a comprehensive overview of the stock market,
unravelling the complexities of its functioning and the intricacies of trades. The exposure to stock
market dynamics went beyond mere theoretical knowledge; it encompassed practical insights that
were crucial for navigating the volatile world of financial markets. We engaged in simulated
trading sessions, enabling us to apply theoretical concepts in real-time situations. Understanding
the factors influencing stock prices, the impact of economic indicators, and the dynamics of market
trends became integral components of our financial literacy.

The knowledge gained not only broadened our understanding of financial markets but also
equipped us with valuable insights for making informed investment decisions. We delved into the
analysis of stocks, assessing risk factors, and understanding the nuances of portfolio management.
This hands-on experience was complemented by interactive sessions with industry experts who
shared practical strategies and insights derived from their experiences. The program fostered a
holistic view of financial markets, empowering us to comprehend the interconnectedness of global
economies and markets.

The application of financial knowledge extended to our understanding of corporate financial


management. Through case studies and practical exercises, we explored scenarios involving
financial decision-making within the corporate setting. The program emphasized the alignment of
financial goals with overall business objectives, highlighting the role of financial management in
driving organizational success.

As a recommendation, the program could further enhance its financial management module by
incorporating real-time financial data analysis and case studies based on contemporary business
challenges. This would provide participants with exposure to the dynamic nature of financial
markets and ensure the applicability of their knowledge in real-world situations. Additionally, guest
lectures from finance professionals and industry leaders could provide valuable insights and
practical perspectives, further enriching the learning experience.

Digital Proficiency: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Effective Presentation Skills


In the contemporary business landscape, proficiency in digital tools is non-negotiable. The program
focused on enhancing our digital skills, with a particular emphasis on Microsoft Excel, Word, and
PowerPoint. We engaged in practical exercises to master these tools, ensuring that we are well-
equipped to handle the digital demands of the modern workplace. Furthermore, the program honed
our presentation skills, teaching us how to articulate ideas effectively and present data in a clear
and compelling manner.

The digital skills component of the program was a cornerstone in preparing us for the dynamic and
technology-driven nature of today's business world. The in-depth training in Microsoft Excel
equipped us with the ability to manipulate and analyse data, create complex spreadsheets, and
generate insightful reports. This proficiency is not only crucial for data-driven decision-making
but also enhances our efficiency and productivity in various professional roles. The program's
emphasis on Microsoft Word provided us with advanced document formatting skills, enabling us
to create professional and polished business documents. Additionally, mastering Microsoft
PowerPoint empowered us to craft visually appealing and impactful presentations, a skill that is
invaluable in communicating ideas persuasively within corporate settings.

One of the program's strengths was its hands-on approach to learning. Through practical exercises
and real-world scenarios, we were able to apply our digital skills in simulated business situations.
These exercises ranged from creating financial models in Excel to developing comprehensive
business reports and delivering persuasive presentations. The practical nature of the exercises not
only reinforced our understanding of the tools but also instilled a sense of confidence in our ability
to navigate and leverage these digital platforms effectively.

Moreover, the focus on presentation skills went beyond the technical aspects of using software.
The program delved into the art of effective communication, teaching us how to structure a
presentation, engage our audience, and convey complex ideas with clarity. We were guided on
techniques to enhance our public speaking abilities, including voice modulation, body language,
and audience interaction. This holistic approach to presentation skills ensures that we not only have
the technical prowess to create compelling presentations but also the interpersonal skills to deliver
them convincingly.

As we move forward in our professional journeys, these digital and presentation skills will
undoubtedly be instrumental. In an era where remote collaboration and virtual communication
have become the norm, the ability to leverage digital tools for effective communication is a
distinguishing factor. Whether it be crafting a detailed financial analysis report or delivering a
persuasive pitch to stakeholders, the skills honed during this program will serve as a solid
foundation.
