Introduction
Kia ora! I’m Devanshi, and I can’t wait to share my experiences about my time engaging in the PMSA Global Internship in Mumbai, India, which I am incredibly grateful to have received.
I am currently a 4th-year Bachelor of Commerce/Science conjoint student, majoring in Marketing, Business Analytics, Biological Sciences, and Marine Science. I love trying new activities, learning a variety of skills, interacting with different people, and overall just exploring opportunities to have new experiences in life. In my free time, I particularly love to engage in creative activities involving music, drama, or art.
I look forward to expanding my business knowledge on an international level by immersing myself in a completely new business landscape. I am eager to see the similarities and differences in the business practices and culture in Mumbai compared to in Aotearoa, as well as connect with my culture on a deeper level and interact with the local community in Mumbai!
Excited for this journey and the learnings I will be able to have and share 🙂
