AIESEC INDORE
Hello On the 12th of May 2010 I’ve landed in India. Now, after spending some time in Indore and having my traineeship completed, I’m filing my report. Generally speaking, it has been quite an experience, indeed! AIESEC Internship in India IS a life-changing exercise, if you ask me. Give me some free time, some blank paper and a pack of pencils – and you will get a fascinating book on India, its education, business style; you will get a vivid still-life picture plus philosophical reflection. It is a mid-term feedback because I’ve stayed in India and currently working as a Spoken English & Personality Development Trainer in Indore. So, India is my present location and, one might say, my state of mind.
First of all I would like to thank AIESEC Ukraine team for information and support provided on-line. Up till now Belarus has no AIESEC presence, therefore everything’s happened with the responsiveness and assistance of: • Liubov Shlapai • Svitlana Kohut • Daria Kohut
Special thanx:

and …
MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING
Including: Meetings and marketing speeches with potential students and their parents ‘Educational Fair’ three-days exhibition A hoarding and newspaper ads using my name and picture
How to Become a Global Leader in Just 7 days Actually, I’ve never thought of myself as of a global leader in Management Education.
Many times I’ve been thinking that it is rather a Marketing Internship rather then an Educational one. But in Indore Education is Business.
How to Become a Celebrity in Just 2 Weeks
What I disliked about my name and picture usage for advertisement: This activity is supposed to be paid for. I had never been neither asked nor informed
about my appearance in media. Both my name & surname were misspelled. The information displayed was false.
Front View is of Strategic Importance
Campus & Office The light side of the internship was about the positive attitude of most students & faculties of the School, as well as of the Marketing Dept. specialists.
Other pleasant detail: Accommodation was provided on my choice A mobile phone was provided Regular safe food was provided Transportation was provided, sometimes V.I.P. Relative curriculum freedom Special attention by staff
… please remind me if I have forgotten something
Negative office admin detail: Complete failure in planning: all activities are
performed on the spot Rapid personnel changing policy Preference to quantity rather then quality of employees Problem of delegating tasks and caste style seniors-juniors relationships Poor organizational skills of office staff Impossibility to reach an executive via e-mail and mobile phone
Negative campus admin detail: Need to stay in the campus for the whole day Against the agreement: no fixed working place was provided no fixed computer system was provided
Constant electricity and Internet failures Lack of fans/ACs in the heat peak of the year No shower: impossible to use the gym
Negative curriculum detail: The internship started in the end of semester No prior information on cirriculum Russian was a part of Soft Skills (PGP), not a
subject No tests after the courses Full academic freedom in Project Management No attention to an IT specialized student
Positive campus detail: Library updated in July 2010 Interest of some students Friendliness of most faculties Academic freedom Free tea provided 3 times a day Garden
Enough about the internship Now about India & Indore
Indian Rupees
USD 1 = Rs. 46
This is just for tea, OK!
by the way, for tea/coffee in India they use milk instead of water
!
Pollution There is nothing religious in this piece of fabric Anjali is wearing. It just protects skin from dust on the street.
Religion Yes, there were struggles in the past. Not in the future, I hope. I am especially interested in Sikhism tradition, if you ask me. To understand it better, one needs a visit to Amritsar.
Indian transport
They DO ride bikes.
And sometimes bikes are out of order‌
I also tried riding.
Shopping does good.
Going Out Also
Dhaba
is a restaurant out-of-town. Not really a secure place. Mainly for truck drivers. Very democratic atmosphere.
This is how they make chapattis
and this is how they eat it
Night Life
Night Life is Forbidden, OK!
This is evening, OK!
Pubs Clubs Restaurants etc.
close at 12 (apprx.)
It is always a pleasure to meet a Russian speaker: one will not forget his mother tongue!
Indian Wedding is an event you MUST visit Otherwise how can you say that you have been to India?
Wedding preparatory traditions are sophisticate d
Mehandi is an art of body drawing.
You will meet lots of authentic people‌
‌ and have fun!
Indian Hospitality ‌
and ‌
Indian Hospitals
Be Aware of What You Eat & Drink, OK!
or else ‌
Anyway, your friends are always near!
They are on duty.
Festivals, of course! Shamefully, I hardly remember the names of Indian festivals, let alone Gods. There are lots of occasions to sing and dance, really. For instance, this is Shree Ganesha’s Birthday.
India is waiting for you!
