The Selection<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Like all first year B-school students, I sent my internship application via campus recruitments. I gave many interviews but nothing clicked as such. While searching for internship opportunities outside, then a very interesting opportunity by PayU grabbed my eyes. I know this company, I have heard of it. Suddenly I recollect – It’s the company which processes online payments and I have used it, while booking movie, air or bus tickets and my favorite shopping website too! I was all game for it.<\/p>\n

“How was your first year in college?” The interviewer kickstarted the interview<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was the first interview which lasted for exactly 1.25 hours<\/strong>! The interviewer and I spoke about everything – marketing, beliefs, processes, strategies, college, internship experiences, work profile so far and more. PayU’s Khar office in Mumbai is very creative, lively and attractive and that was my eureka moment — I want to work here!<\/p>\n

The Induction<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

I remember this day clearly like it just happened yesterday! Nervousness began to creep in on my first working day when, the IT representative handed me my own laptop and asked me to wait for my mentor to guide me further. Soon, my co-intern and I joined my mentor in a meeting room. In a matter of just minutes, the glass board was filled with payment gateway flow. This was new to me. I never made any efforts to figure out\u00a0how a payment gateway works<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. I was in awe with all the information download in system.\u00a0Our mentor sailed us through:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
