Introduction
2

The report is prepared on the basis of six weeks practical experience at Brewed Bros
Pvt. Ltd that helps a lot to learn about the practical situation of an Event Management Firm
and implement theoretical knowledge in to practical and realistic work environment. They
have in the business for not very long but they intend to.

We at Brewed Bros believe that every well known successful organization started
from scratch and become a giant. So similarly we also have equal opportunities to do so. All
we require is hard work and equally concentrated efforts.

Event management, the very topic looks challenging. A concept which gained
importance in India only after the late 90’s. Commitment, leadership and mental & physical
devotion are the core factors needed to manage any type of event. Irrespective of the type or
the scale of the event, the mental and physical hard work that is to be put in, differs by only a
negligible degree of difference.

This terminology is comparatively very new to India, though Indians have been
arranging for wedding ceremonies, naming & threading ceremonies even much before
independence. But due to the lack of proper forecasting, proper material handling they used to
end up in problems like wastage of the food, shortage of food, smaller premises, accidents,
etc.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY


This study is aimed at providing me invaluable practical knowledge with the consideration of
my theoretical knowledge I had gain from BBA Program at Netaji Subhas Institute of
Business management. It will also help me to develop my concept Event Management and it
operations.

The objectives are:

I. To make a bridge between the theories and practical procedures in a real life situation.
II. To understand the terms that has been taught during my BBA period at the University
in a real life situation.
3

III. To present my observation and suggestions to the organization and to increase


knowledge.
IV. To analyze and understand the Customer minds towards the company’s services.
V. To study the behavior of Human Resources in an organization
VI. To study the different problems faced by an HR manager

EVENT MANAGEMENT
“The use of unconventional media / method involving people witnessing a happening within a
capsule of time, for the purpose of communication of a message”

An event is a live multimedia package carried out with preconceived concept,


customized or modified to achieve the clients’ objectives of reaching out and suitably
influencing the sharply defined, specially gathered target audience by providing at complete
experience and an avenue for two way interaction.

The term "management" characterizes the process of and the personnel leading and
directing all or part of an organization through the deployment and manipulation of resources
(human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible).
Event management is the application of the management science of project
management to the creation and development of festivals and events.

Event Management involves studying the intricacies of the brand, identifying the
target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics, coordinating the technical
aspects before getting down to actually executing the modalities of the proposed event.

The recent growth of festivals and events as an industry around the world means that
the management can no longer be ad hoc. Events and festivals, such as the Asian Games or
the Dubai Shopping Festival, have a large impact on their communities and, in some cases,
the whole country.

The industry now includes events of all sizes from the Olympics down to a breakfast
meeting for ten business people. Every industry, charity, society and group will hold events of
some type/size in order to market themselves raise money or celebrate.

EVENT MANAGEMENT AS AN INDUSTRY

‘Event management’ is catching the attention of companies and graduates alike. It


does not have a textbook definition and to try and define it would mean to borrow heavily
from mainstream management and media concepts. It usually consists of conceptualization,
planning, budgeting, and execution of below-the-line activities such as exhibitions, stage
shows, fashion or rock shows, music concerts, celebrity appearances, fashion or charity
shows, conferences, weddings, product or brand launches, and sports shows to name few.

Events begin where the glamour ends. EM is the most intimate form of marketing. It is
a controlled activity aimed at the target audience. Events have always been there. In the past
meeting, organizing and project planning were the form of event management as a profession.
Today it is much more professional and more organized a sector than, a decade ago. Event
management was started, the moment multinationals started pouring in, when our markets
liberalized in the 80s. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when event management broke away
from mainstream course and started carving a niche for itself in the industry. Maybe it was
around 1996 that it rapidly gained importance as a professionally managed niche of
marketing.

Companies realize that through events they can reach out to customers more closely,
more intimately and it is cheaper than mainstream or conventional forms of communication,
say television or print. It can be called as 'experiential marketing', or niche marketing, where
the environment is controlled to suit the needs of the product or

The show being showcased and the output being far tangible that that of the conventional
media. An event is a niche communication medium that allows companies to reach their target
audience directly with tangible outcomes, which are not possible through conventional forms
of advertisement. Through events, we can select and reach out directly to our target audience,
we can control our budgets and at the end of the event tangibly analyze if the event was a
success or not. This is quite difficult, in mainstream communications, where the results are
intangible and we are not sure who is seeing it and whom the communication reaches out to.

Meaning of Event Manager

The Event Manager is the person who plans and executes the event. Event managers
and their teams are often behind-the-scenes running the event. Event managers may also be
involved in more than just the planning and execution of the event, but also brand building,
marketing and communication strategy. The event manager is experts at the creative,
technical and logistical elements that help an event succeed. This includes event design,
audiovisual production, scriptwriting, logistics, budgeting, negotiation and, of course, client
service. It is a multidimensional profession.

There are an increasing number of universities which offer Graduate Degree/ Diploma
in Event Management, especially in cities like Bangalore where they have been quick to catch
on to the new interest and many are now offering certificate, diploma, degree and masters
courses.

Role of HR in Event Management Industry


Human resources play a crucial role in the planning of an event or conference, no matter how
big or small the attendance is.

This specific department is the go-to team for organization and support on a number of
elements that all contribute to the smooth-running and success of an event.

Many debate the importance of budgeting for a dedicated HR team when it comes to an event,
they assume it’s a job that can be managed by one person or responsibilities can be delegated
throughout other departments – but that simply isn’t how it works.

We at events management company have been responsible for the management of a number of
successful events throughout the India and from our years of experience, we absolutely value
the need for dedicated HR before, during and after events have taken place.

For example, let’s imagine that you work for a conference centre that has admin, sales,
marketing and an events team all on site.

It’s the HR professional’s responsibility to ensure that all of the named departments have the
right support, training and facilities needed to perform in a safe environment which all
contribute to the smooth-running of an event, especially in the initial stages which are often so
important.

Event Manager

An event manager is in charge of planning, organizing, and executing all types and sizes of
events, like musical concerts, food festivals, and conventions. You'll meet with clients to
assess their needs and determine the purpose of the event. After setting an objective, you'll
meet with organizers, vendors, and other event specialists to develop an agenda. Financial
management is also an important component of this career; an event manager must work
within budgetary constraints set by the client.
14

Task of an event manager

During the process of event management, the manager is required to focus on some factors
that would help them to carry out the process affectively. In planning of the event, the entire
process needs to be followed in an organized manner.

EVENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS

There are 2 stages of event management process namely, Event planning and Event control.

1. Event Planning
To plan an event we must consider the following areas of an event, i.e. feasibility, promotion,
site choice/design, staging, shutdown, site map, event proposal.

2. Event Control
To control an event we must look on the following areas logistics, negotiations, costing &
cash flow, event manual, I.T., decision making and change, risk management.
15

1. Planning The Event


A significant part of event project management is the planning. It is a process of mentally
fitting all the components together. It includes foreseeing any problems and solutions.
However, to see all the problems is impossibility.

It is more realistic to regard event planning as a method of reducing the number of problems.

In this sense the aim of event planning is to plan all the tasks that can be planned so that
changes and unforeseen problems can be dealt with in a focused way. Although most aspects
of the event can be organized, the fluidity of event preparation means there is always the
unexpected.

Feasibility Study

A major element in a feasibility study is to provide a choice of various models for the event
and discuss the implication of these models.

 Setting out the aims of the study


 Choice of time and place
o Factors in Site Choice
o Draft of Suggested Places
o Factors in the Choice of Date
 Logistics
o Sourcing
o Transport
 Costing
 Revenue
o Ticket scaling
o Ticket distribution
o Funding sources - sponsorship, foundations, grants
 Event Content
 Event Options or Models
 Comparison of Event Models
16

 Administration including contracting and organization structure


 Risk issues -including possible insurance
 Assessment of similar events
 Recommended Option

Event Promotion

As with all areas of event management, event promotion must be dynamic and able to respond
to opportunities as they arise. Other areas of the event planning should also be able to respond
to the unforeseen products of promotion. A good bit of PR can result in a surge of interest in
the event and the event company needs to be able turn the response to the advantage of the
event.

The promotion schedule is only a tool to assist the planning of the event - not the
event's master.

Tools of Promotion

o Advertising
o Public Relations
o Direct marketing
o Word of mouth

Staging

The staging of an event involves bringing together all the event elements around a theme. It is
where the 'action' takes place at an event - where the audience looks. Staging is the heart of
event management- it is basically the 'show'. All other aspects of event management surround
it.
17

EVENT CONTROL

Event control is how the steps are implemented in the correct order fort the event to be
successfully completed. It consists of various steps. They are given below:

Logistics

Logistics is both a science and an art. It is also a convenient way of classifying an aspect of
event management.
In logistics the areas of importance to the events are supply, transport, linking, flow control,
and information network.
18

Contacts

 Event coordinator mobiles


 Emergency Services - police/ambulance/fire numbers
 Lost children procedure
 Lost property
 Headquarters - where and when open
 Police - where on site
 First Aid - where on site
 'On the Day' Event Contact List (one page)
 Road and Traffic Authority
 Venue Management

Risk Identification

Part of the knowledge gained by event experience is the ability to identify risks. The
managers should be aware about the problems that could arise before or during the event.
They should be able to identify problems before they take the form of crisis. Brainstorming is
a common method of identifying risk. The brainstorming meeting can apply itself to the
whole event or to particular sections.

Prepare a blue print

It may be useful to prepare a blueprint which outlines your project timelines and the people
responsible for tasks. This will help keep track of your progress. This will let the concerned
individual track what next step has to be taken or the sequence of jobs to be done. This will
help the management track the status of the jobs to be done. By this it could be made sure that
no important job or task is left undone or something that could cause chaos during the event.
19

Monitor event progress


The Event Coordinators role is to monitor the teams progress against milestones and ensure
the event runs smoothly. Regular meeting dates for progress reports are advisable, to keep
members feeling connected with each other, report on progress or problems, and map out next
steps for the project and address contingencies.

Event delivery
Event delivery day requires a clear understanding at the event of each member’s
responsibilities. It’s good to have back up plans in case of changes. A script sheet for the day
distributed to all involved is an excellent guide for a smooth event. It also provides context for
an individuals tasks. Information on this schedule should include person, task, timing, those
involved, location and contact information to reach the relevant people. All activities, no
matter how small, should be included in the script (greetings at the door, set microphone up
and test, present gifts). Throughout the planning and event delivery stages, it is important to
keep records of all activities, promotional material, media coverage, transactions and
sponsorship agreements.

Post event
Although the event is over, a number of wrap up tasks still need to be done.
These include:
 Obtain feedback from participants.
 Thank and recognize all involved in the event including volunteers, sponsors,
 Media and participant
 Send out event reports to all sponsors and key organizations
 Ensure records are kept in a central place for running the event in the future
20

Responsibilities of HR

Work Allocation
Many assume that the event management team will allocate the work, but human resources
often work very closely with coordinators to ensure that:

 The budgets allocated for third party involvement aren’t exceeded

 Departments are aware of their objectives leading up to the event

 Tasks are allocated to the right employees

Not to take any credit away from event organizers, but without HR staff, the smooth running of
an event before, during and after is never 100% guaranteed – which is why experience always
pays off.

It doesn’t matter if the event involves 50 members of staff or 500; the HR department have to
make sure they work together with other relevant figures to ensure that performance levels are
managed correctly.
HR professionals therefore have to work closely with an internal finance department or third-
party to monitor that employees are being paid the amounts they’ve been quoted.

For permanent employees of a company, rewards are often used as a way of acknowledging
and thanking team members for their hard work. Human resources are counted on for creating
the right prizes for the right departments, using their judgments based on employee interests.

Time Keeping
Often events are allocated a very strict time allowance, depending on the venue or the nature of
the gathering.

This means that schedules and patterns are created for employees to make it clear where they
need to be and the tasks to be carried out at given times.
21

In order for this to be a successful process, labour laws have to be adhered to which includes:

 The limitation of hours that employees are allowed to work

 Any overtime requirements for staff members

If hours are not correctly delegated and regulated, the company in charge of the event could
face legal action either

a.) Working employees for too long or

b.) Not giving them the appropriate compensation

Managing Performance & Expectations


We touched upon it very briefly in the last section, but managing both the performance and
expectations of employees is crucial to a winning event.

It doesn’t matter if the event involves 50 members of staff or 500; the HR department have to
make sure they work together with other relevant figures to ensure that performance levels are
managed correctly.

Talent is the lifeblood of every organization.


In order for a lighting technician to improve upon setting up times or to ensure that the head of
catering is properly managing their team, performance needs to be monitored realistic
expectations need to be set.

HR professionals are the ones that plan and maintain performance management along with
working closely with employees and their authorities to create expectations that are
challenging and that will help them to further their skill sets and enhance their experience
within the events industry.

HR management software is fast becoming one of the most popular ways of managing the
performance of employees, setting new goals, managing employee leave and much more.
22

Payment & Rewards


Although research by the Harvard Business Review states that the majority of employees are
money driven, ensuring that employees or contract workers are paid fairly for the work they
produce at events is important for a number of reasons.

The reputation of the event, the company associated and the reputation of sponsors could be
tainted if employees aren’t paid on time or with the correct amount.

The association between salary and job satisfaction is very weak.


HR professionals therefore have to work closely with an internal finance department or third-
party to monitor that employees are being paid the amounts they’ve been quoted.

For permanent employees of a company, rewards are often used as a way of acknowledging
and thanking team members for their hard work.

Human resources are counted on for creating the right prizes for the right departments, using
their judgment based on employee interests.

Methodology
24

Methodology
For every research, few assumptions will have to be made. The assumptions are made with
the respect to the respondent’s, organization, market and its conditions hoping that the result
will be as that of the presented objectives.
Collection of data through personal interview with structured questionnaire is easy and
correct.

Research Methodology

 A questionnaire was prepared to systematically collect data.


 Survey has been done by asking questions from employees of Brewed Bros Pvt. Ltd.
 The question was asked in one to one interview with each of the respondents.
 Responses of the concerned persons had been thoroughly analyzed.
 Conclusions had been arrived at using the response of the concerned persons and
not on questionnaire alone.

Sampling procedure
A total of 15 respondents from Brewed Bros Pvt. Ltd, are taken as sample for the present
study. The sampling procedure used in this study is non probability sampling namely
convenience sampling. Convenience sampling technique is used because it is the least
expensive and least time consuming of all sampling techniques and sampling units are easily
accessible.
In this context the questionnaire was not a fully fledged one and was made with an intention
of getting the main information as employees don’t have that much time to spare and also a
long questionnaire may irritate them. So the questionnaire used in my research was really
crisp and was aimed at getting the required information in the least time, also the
questionnaire was used for primary purpose only.
25

Research Design
Research design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study. A
research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of the data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to their search purpose with economy in procedure.
Research design is broadly classified into three types as:
 Exploratory Researeh Design
 Descriptive Research Design
 Causal Research Design

Descriptive Research Design


Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with describes the
characteristics of particular individual. In descriptive as well as in diagnostic studies, the
researcher must be able to define clearly, what he wants to measure and must find adequate
methods for measuring it along with a clear cut definition of population he want to study.
Since the aim is to obtain complete and accurate information in the said studies. The
procedure to be used must be carefully planned. The research design must make enough
provision for protection against bias and must maximize reliability, with due concern for the
economical completion of the research study.

SAMPLE DESIGN
A Sample Design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to
the technique to the procedure adopted in selecting items for the sampling designs.

SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size has been 15 employees. Conclusions had been arrived at using the response
of the questionnaire.
Data Collection Method
Primary Data: Primary data means data that are collected by different techniques
like questionnaire, Depth interview, Survey. Schedules, etc.
In this project primary data has been collected by the means of questionnaire.
26

Secondary Data: Secondary data means data that arc already available i.e.: they refer to the
data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. Usually published data
are available in: Various publications of the central, State/local governments or foreign
governments, technical and trade journals etc. The secondary data involved in this project has
been gathered from the medical journals, literatures and internet.

Limitations of the Study

In course of my internship I have faced many problems that may be termed as the limitations
of the study. These were:
1. Could not spend sufficient time required to make an in-depth study on such an important
subject because of time constraint.
2. To get the actual information have been very difficult
3. Sufficient records, publications were not available and some questions were avoided or not
exactly answered by the respondents may be because of lack of clear idea.
4. Although everyone have tried their best to help me, their nature of job is such that gives
them little time to discuss.
7. Secondary sources of data relating to Brewed Bros Pvt. Ltd. are very limited as sufficient
books, publications and journals were not available.
Despite all these limitations, I have given the best of my efforts and tried to make the report as
informative and comprehensive as possible.

This means that the management is not just control oriented and asks for suggestions from the
employees. This could be a sign of a good management of the firm.

and cant come up with an answer. So from a wide viewpoint I would say that majority of

regarding the correct placements for the employees.

This is rather a big problem for the firm as the thought of not being paid enough could be a
major reason for employee dissatisfaction and could result in higher employee turnover. Lack
of payment can also demotivate the employees and their efficiency and effectiveness could be
effected.

is a positive sign for the core management team as this process makes the employees feel like
a part of the firm and highly motivates the employees to perform for the firm. This should be
kept in mind that only 2 individuals disagreed and the reason for this should be found out and
corrective measures to be taken.

Analysis: Another positive response from the recipients. 13 out of 15 individuals (86%)
agreed that the firm makes due payments of salary in time. Inspite of having contractual as
well as temporary employees, the salary of the permanent employees are being paid on time
and there is no complaints regarding the matter. This is a healthy sign for the firm because
payments made on time makes the employees feel motivated as one of the basic motive to
work in an organization is to earn. And timely payment of wages does exactly that. Another
advantage is that employees retention ratio increases and the goodwill of the firm in the
market also increases. This makes hiring new and eligible candidate not so difficult.

created among the employees. Having this sense makes the working environment less hostile
and more productive. If the colleagues considers themselves a part of the team and work
together to achieve a single goal then the can prove to be more productive for the firm. This
also makes the management’s job a bit easy.

why an employee chooses to leave the firm could prove to be a negative factor for the firm. If
the management can understand the reason, they could reduce employee turnover ratio.

Chapter – IV
Results and Discussions

Work Finding
As an intern at Brewed Bros. Pvt. Ltd., I have gained crucial experience that I will use moving
forward in my career. I have had the privilege to work with different employees and
departments throughout the program, which has been very beneficial because I was not
restricted to one specific line of work and I was able to gain a well-rounded perspective on
how each department operates. This was my first experience in the “real world,” and I was
given real world responsibilities such as managing small projects throughout the program and
assisting with various clients campaigns.
Some of the responsibilities allotted to me during the time as an intern taught me many things
including dealing with clients, vendors, as well as the concerned authorities of the place.
I worked in various departments including finance and customer handling.
But the main responsibility was to Work Allocation to different employees including
temporary workers and volunteers. For instance if a particular event required more technician
then I was supposed to redirect that workforce to that specific place. Allocating work to the
right employee is the key for the success of any event. Some of the event was small scaled
and was easily completed with few staff but few of them was large scaled and required a large
number of workforce. These instances were complicated and required a lot of dedication and
focus by us. I observed that under these conditions, few of the employees became nervous and
stressed. They were not that capable in solve the problems thrown to them spontaneously.
I would say that the management team was good at managing small as well as complexities of
the firm and were confident with the decisions they took. One of the best thing that I observed
while working there was that the employees were considered an integral part of the
organization. They were included in decision making process and were asked for advices and
suggestions on matters they were good at. The senior management team was not control
oriented and made room for improvement within the organization. The employees were
encouraged to work co-operatively whose outcome will be better profits which ultimately lead
to employees prosperity.
Appreciating good work was a regular task of the core management team and each month an
employee is chosen as the “Employee of the month” which motivates the employee to give
their best of efforts.
43

As far as I was concerned, they really did not discriminate with me. They taught me anything
and everything they could within the short time. They used to include me on various meetings
and would often ask me for “something out of the box”. I got to deal with few clients and my
job was to collect the preliminary data regarding the requisites of the events. Sometimes I was
asked to accompany our representative to meet the vendors or contactors that used to provide
us with extra workforce. Sometimes we need to get some stuff on rent.
It could be said that the firm has well defined goals and objectives and they are working
gradually towards the objectives. The core management team tries their best to keep the team
spirit alive and treat the employees with respect and gratitude. But it must be noted that if an
employee is constantly not able to perform, intentionally or unintentionally, he/she is warned
and if no improvement is seen within few days, then he/she is sacked from the firm. It is done
to make sure no employee is taking advantage of the gratitude of the management team.
Payment of salaries and wages along with due bills is another major advantage for the firm.
As stated earlier, most of the employees think that payment of salaries is done on time, makes
them highly motivated and gives them a reason to stay on the job for a longer period of time.
And all this is possible because of effective leadership. The 3 partners of the firm have high
sense of duty and morale which effectively guides others working underneath them. They
themselves work together with the team to achieve all round development. Since the line of
authority and responsibilities are not long, the chain of commands is shorter in length and is
actually implemented in as shorter period of time. There is no major lack of communication
between the management and the employees. This is one of the reasons that I think the
organization could prosper in the near future.
Overall working in this organization was a great deal for me as I learnt a whole lot of things
not only in Human Resource department but Finance as well as Marketing. I learnt Personal
Management as well as Project Management from some of the sharpest minds I have ever
met. I learnt that each and every event can be made a success if and only if the planning is
proper. All we needed to do was to plan each and every thing beforehand and does not leave
any variable on just sheer luck. Another thing was that we could not achieve everything by
going on the rules of books. Sometimes we have to make our own rules.
44

Recommendations
Working in Brewed Bros Pvt. Ltd. for around 45 days, I learnt a great deal about the
company. Not everything but a lot of it. Some things were as good as could be but there were
some that could be improved or something new could be introduced to make this firm achieve
great heights.
The major form of marketing and promotions for the firm is Social Media. Others forms of
promotion include word of mouth, pamphlets, and influencers. The firm should use other
forms of promotion to make the world aware of their existence. Relying on social media alone
is not a very efficient. The firm should make sure that the clients are so satisfied that they do
recommend Brewed Bros to others. The firm should use some resources for marketing. It’s a
false hope that a customer will discover you, unless you make concerted efforts to grow
them with a properly structured plan to promote your firm.
Finding the right people for the job is a tough job and in today’s dynamic business
environment, dynamic employees are needed who could tackle business problems efficiently.
So having a proper structured interview is needed to hire such employees. Having
employees who looks good on paper but is not able to perform could be a severe bottleneck
for the organization. So proper interview along with a well diverse personal interview
should be conducted to make sure correct employee is hired for the job.
Prioritization of work should be encouraged. This means that those jobs should be
categorized in such a way that some important job is left behind and the not so important job
is done beforehand. So jobs should be prioritizing. This can be done in a most simple way. All
we need to do is to ask ourselves: Which job is to be done today and which one can be
postponed for tomorrow? This will give you the answer for which job to be prioritized first.
As a currently growing business it is true that there is a lot of scope in event management
industry, but it is also true that there is a whole lot of hardcore competition also. Well no one
said it is going to be easy but the firm should be ready to compete with the rival firms on day
to day basis. The competition could only be tackled with effective future planning and proper
implementation. The strategies should be formulated carefully and the management should
be flexible enough to cope up with the ever changing environment.
Another factor is financial management. Money begets money. Remember the fact that to
increase revenue, money must be spent. Some firms tend to find it difficult to properly
manage their finances and they bog down against the pressure. So taking advices and
45

suggestions from financial consultancy firms may really help out in managing financial
issues. Having a properly experienced employee in the finance department in the firm could
really help the firm avoid financial issues.
Customer trust is one of the major advantages this firm has against rivals. So the firm should
use this factor as a competitive advantage over others. They should put their efforts to
increase this trust level and work more on customer satisfaction. This would ensure that the
satisfied customers will bring more customers to the firm. This could prove to be a rather
advantageous for the firm. They should become more customer centric and work towards
making a loyal customer base.

Conclusions & Scope of further work

Conclusion

Working as an intern in Brewed Bros Pvt. Ltd. was an opportunity that I will never forget in
my life. This was the first real world experience for me and I would say that I got to learnt a
great deal about how an event management company operates in the real world. I also got to
know about the challenges they have to face in day to day activities and the harsh competitive
environment that they constantly had to survive. Working there as an intern for 2 months was
a life changing experience. I always wanted to work in an event management company and
through this I got to fulfill my wish. This experience has convinced me to pursue my career in
this field after completing my studies.
As far as Brewed Bros is concerned, I have rather high hopes for them. I sincerely think that
they can sustain themselves in the market and will surely become a firm that could compete
hand to hand with the existing rival companies. They have realistic goals and are giving best
of their efforts to achieve their goals.
As an intern, I got to learn the basis on how the Human Resource Department works. But my
superiors wanted me to explore the other fields as well. I got to learn about the marketing
strategies of the firm as well as how the financial department works in the firm. So I could say
that there was a heap of knowledge to be acquired and tried to accumulate as much as I could
within the short time.
I would, with all my heart, thank my mentor Ashish Dutta and Iman Roy for mentoring me
during my internship. Next I would thank Professor Gautam Ghosh for helping me throughout
my project. I would say that without his constant efforts and support this project would not
have been completed. He provided help and support whenever I needed it.
