Design Researcher in a recently established venture capital startup meant doing a lot of auxiliary work in addition to my primary role.

Something between you missing 100 percent of the shots you don’t take and leaving no stone unturned. I might not have pursued my career in such a prestigious company, but it sure did tell a lot regarding my future aspirations and career goals!

This was when I had some spare time and I had a friend tell me about content writing being an actual well-sought after role. I tried my hand at it, and it was quite frankly, good.

As an electronics engineer, this was my first technical internship where I was exposed to the real life applications of the tools and devices that we’ve used in our practical labs. It was a very hands on experience, and definitely one of a kind of internship.

This was just a training but the way big organisations work, their workflows, their failsafes etc is what intrigued me.

My first internship as a graphic designer, where I actually was on the team that produced creatives that were sent to the clients. I got a very good exposure to the industry during this period.
