My internship at Give Grants as a Product Intern was a highly practical and impactful learning experience. I built 25+ Power BI dashboards, which significantly strengthened my data visualization and analytical skills. Beyond technical work, I collaborated with multiple stakeholders, gaining hands-on exposure to product thinking, cross-functional communication, and real-world problem solving. This experience greatly enhanced my confidence and industry readiness.
Working at Dentifrice Pvt. Ltd. was a highly enriching learning experience that gave me deep exposure to healthcare marketing and business strategy. I learned how to approach investors, build investment narratives, and market AI healthcare solutions effectively across digital platforms. Interacting with senior leadership, dentists, medical practitioners, and nurses helped me understand the realities and challenges of the medical industry. As a marketing team, we faced issues related to trust, adoption, and regulation, which we tackled through data-driven communication and strong relationship building. This project significantly enhanced my confidence, strategic thinking, and practical understanding of healthcare marketing, and our collective efforts delivered strong business outcomes.
