From Campus to Corporate: My Journey as an Intern in Eucloid Data Solutions!
Not long ago when I was in college, I thought of wearing formals and going to the office, living a fancy life in Gurgaon, a corporate life where you work and you get paid — sounds so simple, little did I know that I was in for a journey of a lifetime, perspective of life was going to be changed, here is a short account of my experiences as an intern in this decorated corporate world.
I was the first from our batch to get placed, and fortunately I got placed in a start-up which values the work done by its employees, I got selected as a Trainee Data Engineer and I was quite excited to begin the new chapter of my life, I started preparing for my new role as I was new to the field of Data Engineering, on a personal level I was always fascinated by the power and capabilities of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in general and had wished that I get to work in the field of ML, still I was looking forward to the opportunity I had in front of me.
My work location was set as Gurgaon, a new city for me, I always thought that the whole of Gurgaon is like DLF Cybercity and only the rich live in this city, but I was proved wrong on the day I arrived, like every other big city Gurgaon also has an aesthetic side which is shown to the world and a not so eye-catching side where majority of the people live, I was happy as I was getting to experience a new culture, a culture which is very different for someone who comes from a typical Maharashtrian family, I felt that everyone here was very accepting and welcomed each other with open arms, most of the people that I met were staying away from their families and mostly in the same field of work. Everyone can understand the situation, and everyone has been nothing but friendly and understanding.
I eventually joined my internship and for the first few days I experienced an unbelievably bad back pain as I was not used to sitting and working for the entire day, I fortunately started working on core ML tasks rather than Data Engineering tasks as I was assigned on an inhouse product which is a data extraction tool to extract unstructured data from any sort of document, I somewhere liked the work that I did, all the theoretical knowledge which was accumulated and saturated in my brain was being actually used, my organization had also given me the access to try and implement new things and research for the best techniques, try them out and bring those solutions to production level, this gave me a sense of freedom to explore and learn new things, during the past six months every day I feel that I know a thing or two more than the previous day, a better version of myself every day, I got the opportunity of working on State of the Art algorithms and each day felt like a challenge, eventually the challenge would subside as I always had people to help me and get me out of the situation that I was stuck in. Overall, I would describe my internship as a very great learning experience.

Living alone in Gurgaon taught me a lot about life and everyone should take such an experience at least once in their lives, living far from your home, feeling independent, taking your own decisions at the last moment and believing that the ending would be good. Sometimes you would feel so good that your happiness would have no boundaries, similarly at some point you would feel so low that you would feel like quitting going back home. A balance is very necessary, going with the flow and experiencing whatever comes in front of you is the best option, considering the worst-case scenario and taking the decisions always helps, believing that God has better plans for you ensures a ring of safety around you. Having faith in yourself is the top priority; there are many people to pull you down, ultimately, it’s you who must be in that position, so firm belief and faith are necessary. I feel that it is equally important to respect and value all the things that you have, I have felt that the regret of not doing certain things even when you have the opportunity of doing them hits harder later. I missed certain opportunities and feel guilty every single day and believe me living in guilt every day is not a good idea.
I know that it is very early to generalize a lot of things and it doesn’t take a lot of time for the situation to completely change, but even in this short span I understood the value of people in my life and what difference it makes to have someone around you. A big metropolis city can feel empty if you are not with the right people. I started believing in the saying “places are nothing without people”. If not anything, I have learnt to deal with things more calmly and have got a different perspective of looking at the world, I feel grateful at times for all the things that I have and keep thinking about what more can be done, past six months have taught me a lot about life in general, not only about work but about living life on my own terms. I have found answers to many questions, but many more remain unanswered that I’m eager to explore, with a never-ending bucket list of experiences waiting to be checked off.
One positive which I have looked up to in the past six months is the fact that there is still a lot undiscovered, unseen and unknown. I need to keep looking forward and hunting to make everything work. I need to step out of my comfort zone and explore this beautiful life. Little did I know when I stepped into this internship how drastically my perspective would shift. What started as a simple opportunity became a profound journey of self-discovery that has forever changed how I approach life’s adventures and possibilities.
