How was your overall experience?
What I heard from seniors that 9 weeks internship duration would be the most hectic and rigorous. What I want to clarify further is that it is hectic and rigorous if you don’t like your work. I used to plan the whole day which helped me a lot. Work allocation in Xoriant Solution is preceded by a couple of knowledge and training session, which makes the employees comfortable with the upcoming task. Moreover, a senior mentor is appointed for any sort of guidance and support. My daily task was divided into majoring doing research, making decks for clients and planning marketing strategies to engage prospects.

What was your project and how did you execute it?
My project was to identify potential prospects for Xoriant Sales team by doing market research, & mapping with the right offerings. For this, I was trained to use multiple tools for doing in-depth research. These projects extract all digital marketing of mine. Another task was to enhance the Knowledge Management Portal of the Presales team by identifying & indexing case studies and use cases needed by Presales team on a daily basis. This required lots of research from client records and referring online.

How was the work culture at Xoriant Solutions?
The best thing about Xoriant is its welcoming and warm nature. Department head will never question if you are coming late. What is expected is your working and its quality. Quality is given the most importance. Xoriant organises multiple employees’ engagement activities. Unofficially your boss will pull you out a couple of times in a week for team lunch or outing. In this company, you can rely on your colleague for any kind of support. I was lucky I got this type of people around me during internship!
