With
summers process not very far away, ConSIG continues the commendable job of
conducting experiences sharing sessions. It helps us get a perspective on
kind of assignments given during summers as well as help us focus on key areas
required for successful execution of projects. In this session, Navish and
Anirban from SOM11 shared their summers experiences in consulting profile.
After that Navish, Somak and Mayur shared their experiences of participating in
various B school competitions.
Navish
Dogra did his summer’s internship in Wipro Business Consulting. He started with
a brief overview of structure of companies under Wipro group. He worked on
preparing KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and performed Value-Mapping
analyses for one of the large logistics services provider. We got to understand
some new concepts in freight management process and learned importance of KPIs
and value mapping framework. He also shared the challenge of data gathering
from client and local people.
Then
Anirban talked about his internship in eClerx. EClerx is an Indian KPO based in
Mumbai. His work was to convert “offline data” to market intelligence for a
customer. He had to identify the problem areas and the countries where the
recommendations can be implemented. He used some tool like time series analysis
for fluctuation analysis. He also stressed on the importance of understanding
BPDs (Business Process Documents) for consultants.
In
later part of the session, Somak, Mayur and Navish discussed some general
guidelines for participating in B school competitions. They also shared their
experience of a social B-plan contest held at FMS last year where they were
runner up. They highlighted the importance of providing practical solutions
with in depth analysis to business problems well supported by financial
analysis.
All in
all, it was another wonderful and an insightful session. We learnt some new
consulting concepts and now we eagerly look forward to next session.
