It is one of the largest players in the burgeoning consumer finance segment in India and a pioneer in introducing interest-free EMI finance options in more than 50 categories, ranging from consumer durables to lifestyle products to groceries. The main reason why I wanted to do my internship at Bajaj Finance Limited was because of its fast and challenging work environment. It also has a positive work culture which helped me in developing my personality.

What is the selection process for an internship at Bajaj Finance Limited?


The selection process for the Internship at Bajaj Finance Limited had the following components:

  1. Group Discussion

  2. Personal Interview


We had a campus pool drive for our internship selection at Bajaj Finance Limited (BFL). Students came in from different Bussiness-Schools from all over Pune. there were two parts of the process. The first stage was a group discussion. 15 students survived this round. The next stage was a personal interview. Only 3 people were selected for the two-month internship at Bajaj Finance Limited and I was lucky to be one of them.

What did I learn during my internship?


My role during my internship at Bajaj Finance Limited was to achieve operational excellence in HR Shared Services. I was able to develop my skills in Time management, Vendor management, Operations management, Analytical Thinking, Problem Solving, Process Streamlining, Planning, Projection, Execution, Teamwork, Systems & HR Audit among others. Developing these skills gave me a huge boost in my future works.

The title of the project assigned to me was: ‘Life does not pause at Bajaj Finance Limited, it keeps moving’. This project had me interacting with my manager a lot. This instilled motivation within me and convinced me enough that it was Bajaj Finance Limited that I wanted to join. I would definitely love to join Bajaj Finance Limited if given the opportunity. It is every management student's dream organization as it compensates its employees well. It has a good incentive structure and offers its employees a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. Bajaj Finance Limited makes sure that as a family, all its employees grow together.

What were the key takeaways from my internship?


During my internship at Bajaj Finance Limited, I worked from three different offices rotating as per the needs and requirements of the situation. So, I got to meet a lot of people. Further, vendor management was something that was something very new to me as was HR and system-process audit. For HR audits specifically, we traveled to the other side of the city for a week to the vendor's location. The few other memorable incidents were when I shouldered critical responsibilities and tasks during my journey and when the management trusted me by enacting the recommendations I made. Overall, it was a truly enriching experience.

My mentor was my pillar and support system for these 2 months at Bajaj Finance Limited. She turned my weaknesses into strengths. During the Internship at Bajaj Finance Limited I learned a lot of valuable lessons. I learned the value of hard work. To always be in high spirits, to always have a thirst for knowledge and to keep your spirits high, to keep in touch with the connections made and to constantly update and upgrade oneself were a few takeaways. These lessons helped me in shaping my personality and made me the person who I am today!
