From Struggles to Success: My Internship Diary @PMCPL

If I were to describe my entire journey at Pioneer Management Consultant Pvt Ltd, it would just suffice this statement“Cry cry itna cry karte kaiko hum” XD. Just like that, all my pain and agony behind not just work but also things in life was taken away with this short and cute statement by Sarla Ma’am, and mind you, it’s not just a remark she probably doesn’t even remember, but it’s going down with me for the rest of my journey.

Although I began my work on the 15th of May, this rollercoaster ride truly started around the middle of April, when I and the students of my college mates were concerned about the recruitment for the summer internship. The environment was filled with eagerness, nervousness and excitement, but mostly nervousness about whether or not we’ll make it somewhere. Exactly around that time, I get a call, namely from a person called Shivani More( an important name for the point of reference of the story that I’m sharing here), asking me to send my CV and a suitable time for an interview. It wasn’t a strange statement for a person like me who had been back and forth with multiple internships at that time, but just like everyone else, I was having butterflies too. Not knowing what to expect, not knowing how will I answer, I just assumingly went to the doors of  ‘Chat GPT’, seeking help. So that happened, and I sat down for the interview, but little did I know, this experience would go about changing my entire life…

I was absolutely famished to see the conduct of interviews here. Unlike the usual panic rooms of interviews I had been to, this felt like a fresh breath of air. And the interviewer in my case was none other than our very own Sarla Ma’am, and although loads of mishaps and confidential ifs and buts were brought to the plate, I was really glad to make my way in. Now jumping back to the 15th of May, the first day of work, like everyone I was excited too, but for some reason, I was overwhelmed. It was absolutely distinct yet fortunate for me to be in this place since your girl was working from a home office, which back then mostly comprised her bed and a laptop. All of this behaviour started getting to me and I would overthink, constantly about how maybe I’m not getting appreciated for my work, thinking little about how I could do better. It was the toxic ‘Give me a shot I know it all’ attitude consuming my thoughts, and the minute it started reflecting onto my work, Ma’am and I both mutually agreed on how maybe this isn’t for me, and I was fired, just within 5-6 days of my joining. Heartbroken, and melancholic ( not in a Devdas way, but for reference you can consider that as an example) I was back to square one, again searching for things, I even didn’t have my dinner that night. One thing they say about HRs is that they know and understand people in the organization better than anyone else, and I was lucky enough to witness for myself how PMCPL just has the right fit, who’s none other than Shivani. A gem of a person, Shivani More I’ll forever be grateful to you. As soon as she heard the news, she immediately called and you know how the story ends. Every fallen dream was put right into its place again, and with a heads up from Sarla Ma’am, I came back into the team.

But this second grant of opportunity wasn’t just the beginning of my chapter 2 here, it indeed felt like a moment of recovery, a moment of revival, and a moment that fueled my soul to give everything that started from that day to this organisation. It was only then that I realised how significant holding up to bonds is, and how one can have all the talent and guts and knowledge in the world but still stand irrelevant if they don't have the heart to give, cannot lend an ear to listen, and cannot selflessly think about others. Humans make us, and if we don’t reciprocate the energy, support and luck destiny gives us, it can easily be taken away, with or without causing us pain. It filled me with rage that I literally have it all, and I wanna give my all to this very organisation. And trust me when I say this, since that day, I haven’t looked back. Although I and Sarla Ma’am look back at things with a laugh now, how we’ve had a ‘breakup patch-up and then falling in love again’ scenario, I couldn’t be more grateful for the fact that things are finally this way. Thank you PMCPL indeed, for providing me not only with a great opportunity, or a great place to share my ideas, or a great team to execute them with, but also for granting me with one of the most important lessons one can learn in life.

And with that my friends, we’ll pause right here since the word limit constraint ( Although I can go on and on about the intricate details of soo many things I’ve just mentioned here, but we’ll wind this up for now.)
