Abstract
In a pioneering initiative to bridge the gap between industry expectations and student performance during internships, MICA, Ahmedabad, has enlisted 20 senior alumni to mentor its students. The Summer Internship Project (SIP) Mentoring program, spearheaded by Sastry Nookala (Class of 1997) and supported by a panel of 19 senior alumni, aims to provide one-on-one guidance from seasoned professionals as first-year students prepare for their summer internships.
Professor Githa Heggde, Dean of MICA, said, “As a business school, we recognise the tremendous value that our alumni bring to the community. They can offer practical advice, industry insights, and career guidance, and give back meaningfully while helping to shape the next generation of leaders.” Indranil Banerjee, Head of Corporate and Alumni Relations at MICA, added, “Until now, our students benefited from the guidance of our faculty and industry experts. Collaborating with senior alumni will help our students gain a fresh perspective on navigating their careers.
