21 Jun 2023 01:11 PM By Vaishnavi

Greetings to everyone! I've been a non-tech project manager for seven years, and I'm keen to break into the technology industry. The thought of entering into the technology industry felt like stepping into uncharted territory. However, fueled by a desire for growth and determination to expand my horizons, I mustered the courage to take a crucial first step to join as a Tech Project Intern at Abhyaz. Abhyaz's offer of a remote internship/returnship is really appreciated.

My name is Vaishnavi Venkatesan. Join me as I share my transformative internship experience at Abhyaz and how it shaped my perspective on the intersection of technology and project management.

A Leap of Faith and Learning:

Joining Abhyaz as a Tech Project Intern was a leap of faith. At Abhyaz, learning and growth are highly valued, and newcomers are warmly welcomed into a culture of continuous improvement. During my internship, I had the privilege of gaining real-time work experience on various Zoho applications like CRM, Desk, Forms, Projects, and Survey, actively participating in projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

 

Following the completion of assigned tasks, it is necessary to present the knowledge gained and skills captured with H5P presentations and screen recordings, which aid me in honing my presenting abilities, fostering creativity, and cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing. Apart from the tasks, I have been motivated to dedicate time to certification courses available in Zoho LMS, which allows me to evolve both personally and professionally within the organization. 

Nurturing Guidance:

I wholeheartedly embraced mentorship and support during my internship, valuing and implementing all the recommendations and feedback I received from my esteemed mentors, including Ms. Sashi Sairam Ma’am, Mr. Krishnakumar Thangamani Sir, Mr. Chetan Huilgol Sir, and Ms. Keerthy Thankan Ma’am. I am immensely grateful and consider myself privileged to have received direct advice and guidance from these seasoned experts.

Conclusion:

The hands-on experience and exposure to these Zoho applications during my internship were transformative. They equipped me with practical skills and instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of technology in optimizing organizational efficiency. The lessons learned and the knowledge gained during this internship will undoubtedly serve as a solid foundation for my future growth in the tech project/operations management field. Grateful to Abhyaz’s mentors, and my teammates for their invaluable support.
