I am a second year Business Economics student in Gargi College, University of Delhi with exceptional communication skills and an intrinsic motivation to learn and get better. At the university, I not only maintained a good CGPA through a well-balanced program of study, but I am also proactively involved in the consulting society of Gargi College - that is, 180 Degrees Consulting Gargi. 180 DC provides pro-bono consulting at an undergraduate level.

Being a member of 180 DC Gargi for the past two years, has helped me enhance the technical skills, which include Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel. I have led the maximum number of projects as a Project Manager in the last year, which has provided me with a good understanding of the client's expectations. It has helped me understand the needs of the clients, get the bigger picture of their problems and understand the requirements of the project. While leading the projects, I have been responsible for planning them in a structured manner, brainstorming sessions with the team and client, timely meeting of deliverables, review meetings, and final submission. This has made me into a better student consultant with improvements in analytical skills, team handling and presentation skills.

I have done two internships at the same time, where I worked in the capacity of a Strategy Consultant Intern. I applied my learnings from the coursework, online certifications and YouTube in the past internships. And I learnt how to construct a basic financial model for a start-up by forecasting revenue and expenses for the next 3 years. I, also, learnt how to conduct industry analysis and competitors analysis using tools such as Porters’ Five Forces and SWOT analysis. This helped me develop my research skills and gain practical industry experience.

I would like to conclude this letter by mentioning that I am hard-working and a dedicated student with a deep interest in consulting. I believe my academic background, knowledge and experiences have provided me with the credentials needed to thrive as an Intern.
