Read edited excerpts:
Tell us about your internship experience?
So, I interned with Communique Marketing Solutions as a Client Servicing Executive. This is an experiential marketing company and the experience I had here was great. I have been a part of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny Media drive event, and during my time as an intern I also handled numerous big brands. It was a great learning experience which opened the doors of the industry for me.
Why did you choose this nature of work?
I love coordinating and managing things. Interaction with diverse people also interests me a lot and so does the thrill of handling different brands.

Are you employed full time currently?
Yes, I am employed full time at Communique only. I now work not only as a Client Servicing Executive for different brands but, I am also into influencer marketing. I am expanding my work horizon and learning more about my capabilities.
That’s wonderful and inspiring! How was your time at AIMC?
It was a great experience, I learned many things there which helped me in building my personality. I owe a big thanks to my classmates and professors. The time I spent at AIMC was indeed special in shaping me.
Finally, where do we see you in the next 5 years?
I see myself working at the top advertising company. That is the bullseye!
