Experience shared by Summer Interns :)

Vandana R



When I began my MBA journey, I was quite confused about the direction in which my career would steer. Internship at NK Capital Inc helped me get a clearer vision. This summer internship opportunity gave me an exposure into an entirely new area of work. I am now well versed with various disciplines in the field of finance. This experience has no doubt helped me enhance my professional career.

Interning at NK Capital Inc helped me understand investments better. As I did my research on financial planning, I got an opportunity to understand various investment alternatives that are available.

NK Capital Inc is a one stop shop for all financial planning. Thus I got a brief idea about all the investment alternatives. However for my project I concentrated on the four main asset classes- Equity, Debt, Gold and Real Estate. I understood the criticality in making investment decisions as every individual is different from the other in various aspects like income, risk appetite, financial goals etc.

At NK Capital Inc I also understood that relationship building is most essential for a business to prosper. Here, each client is important no matter how much business he generates. Going for a few client meetings, I have learned how to interact with the clients and also learned the skill of analyzing their need.

Apart from all this, I would always cherish the relation I made with the founders of NK Capital Inc, Nupur and Komal. They helped me widen my knowledge and skills not just about the financial market but also assisted me to take right decision in the upcoming future.

A drastic shift from college routine to professional timing, from faculty guidance to being answerable at work place, from discussions regarding weekends to the movement in Nifty and Sensex, from assignments to targets, this summer had a bag full of surprises. These two months could not have been spent in a better way other than an internship at NK Capital.

At NK I was given a wider picture of financial markets. NK being a wealth management firm, every discussion and task that I was a part of has enhanced my knowledge. NK’s mission to be a one stop solution for all financial needs of an individual introduced me to different investment opportunities available for an individual at his disposal. Each individual being different from other and his needs being totally different, to tailor an investment opportunity as per that was a great learning.

I was provided the apt guidance for my future endeavors in life. The experiences of being a part of this small but family like team, the excitement, the thrill, the tension and the strategy building to meet targets have instilled in me a sense of being responsible and a readiness towards being more  professional in my dealings.

There are few things that I have learned during this short span of industry interaction which I am sure my MBA textbooks would not teach me. Primary take away for me would be the lesson that one needs to compromise and set priorities in life to see their dreams turning into actions. I learnt that there was one major thing that drives this business or even every business is the personal interaction that is built with clients.

At NK what I always found was the ever smiling faces of two entrepreneurs Nupur and Komal, the founders of NK Capital. Without their help and constant support this summer would not have been fruitful. The freedom that was given to me to put in any queries was very helpful that shed away my hesitation. This experience at NK was a small step in right direction in achieving my future goals. My time spent at NK was one of the best investments I ever made in my life.
