Mahindra Logistics is a portfolio company of Mahindra Partners, the $ 1 billion private equity division of the $ 20.7 billion Mahindra Group. They create integrated solutions which maximize service levels with the minimum logistical costs. I have always been fascinated by the field of Artificial Intelligence and Electric Vehicles. When I finally landed an internship at Mahindra Logistics, I knew that I was in the right place.
The selection process at Mahindra Logistics had two rounds:
The topic for GD was “The weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." I presented my views in a well-organized manner and was, thus, selected for the next round. Personal Interview was a one-to-one interaction with the employer. They asked basic questions that revolved around my area of interest.
The area assigned to me for work was the Business and Strategy department. My project required me to work on Market Analysis, Competitor Analysis, Market Segmentation, Positioning of Mahindra Logistics in the People Transport Solutions (PTS) and create a value proposition for the same.
My internship at Mahindra Logistics allowed me to hone my technical skills such as Excel and Data Analysis. I also got a chance to implement the Research Analysis methods. I had conceptualized a battery testing station for Tata Motors during my engineering days. So, I was able to spearhead its implementation during my internship with Mahindra Logistics. I also came to know about the ground realities of a B2B Business during my stint as an intern with the company.
I did not have to move to another city to pursue my internship at Mahindra Logistics. The work culture at Mahindra Logistics is very warm, welcoming and rewarding. I was able to forge a lot of new friendships. Our first office party was on the floor! I was awestruck when the entire floor was turned into a Live dance floor with a DJ. Everyone, including the senior management, hit the dance floor on the occasion. The food, dance, and competitions were engaging. It was a great opportunity to mingle with my fellow interns.
If given a chance, I would definitely love to work with Mahindra Logistics. Supportive staff, work-life balance and scope for all-round development are some of the features that have enchanted me the most. These definitely are plus points for any individual who is looking forward to being associated with any organization.
I gained a lot of invaluable experience and insights from my internship at Mahindra Logistics. My mentor and team members always guided and supported me. Some of the key takeaways were:
To sum up, I would just say that my internship at Mahindra Logistics was a well-rounded experience. It was an amazing experience which gave me lifelong friendships and some of the sweetest memories of my life.
