I'm thrilled to share that I have completed an incredible summer internship at VARUN BEVERAGES LIMITED one of the world's largest PepsiCo bottlers! This experience has been nothing short of transformative, and I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to delve into the intricate workings of a multinational beverage company. Throughout my internship at Varun Beverages Limited (VBL), I had the opportunity to work closely with various departments, including accounting, operations, inventory control, and shipping logistics. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, I learned the nuances of financial management, witnessed the rigorous pursuit of operational excellence, and gained insights into VBL's intricate supply chain dynamics. I was particularly impressed by the company's commitment to sustainable practices, such as inventory control techniques that minimize waste and maximize resource utilization, as well as the shipping department's efficient logistics management, strategic order placement strategies, and unwavering commitment to documentation and compliance, which foster trust and confidence among stakeholders. But the real highlight was the amazing mentorship I received. My supervisors were incredibly supportive, providing guidance and challenging me to think critically. They fostered a collaborative environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning from experienced professionals. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and continuous improvement left a lasting impression on me. Here are just a few of the eye-opening lessons I learned: 💰 How financial ratios, cost analysis, and variance analysis can paint a vivid picture of a company's financial health and operational performance. 🚚 The importance of optimizing supply chains for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, ensuring a seamless flow of products from manufacturing units to consumers. 📦 The intricate dance between inventory management and customer satisfaction, where proactive strategies minimize waste and stockouts while meeting market demands. 🌐 The complexities of shipping logistics and the meticulous attention to detail required for timely and compliant deliveries across diverse markets. A huge thank you to the entire VBL team for making this summer unforgettable! Your guidance, mentorship, and unwavering support have ignited a passion within me to continue learning and growing in the dynamic world of business. #VarunBeveragesLimited #PepsiCo #SummerInternship #Mentorship #LearningExperience #BeverageIndustry

As I complete my 10th week of my Global People Internship at Walmart, I am grateful to have had abundant opportunities and incredible experiences. One of my most impactful experiences was a tour of Walmart Store 5260 that I embarked on with my fellow Global People Interns. This tour not only broadened my understanding of my project but also offered several key takeaways: 1. The importance of inclusion Did you know Walmart offers a sensory friendly environment during the hours of 8 AM to 10 AM in all Walmart U.S. and Puerto Rico store locations? This is to provide an optimal experience for all customers, regardless of their needs. This is just one of the many displays of “service to the customer” I witnessed while touring Store 5260. 2. The power of associate ownership Walmart is actively involved in giving back to communities, and I got to discover how Store 5260 encourages their associates to take ownership of fundraising initiatives. Store 5260 decided to take on the challenge of raising money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in many creative ways, such as selling snacks and t-shirts next to the breakroom. It was such a unique way to learn about how associates can play a direct role in supporting their community. 3. The value of growth opportunities The leadership board stood out to me on the tour. The board has associates' faces on the wall to display the store hierarchy, helping to put names to faces, and showing associates what their next growth opportunity at Walmart might be. What was most impactful about the board was when Store Manager, Carlie Dodge highlighted that almost every person in a leadership role on that board had been recently promoted, and that the leadership team reflects the diverse community they serve. This is a great example of how associates can see leadership from people who look like them and recognize potential roles they can grow into, all while encouraging associates to “strive for excellence.” Of course, a special shout-out to Matt Meyers, Ph.D. for putting this internship experience together, and Cody Katzer for giving insight into the customer and associate experience. Witnessing these initiatives firsthand has truly reinforced my admiration for Walmart’s commitment to inclusivity and community support.

Young professionals are the future of supply chain. Growing young talent and giving us the resources to learn and develop into experts in our fields is critical to shaping the talent pipeline. Join Sam Nunez and I as we discuss our time at Purdue University School of Industrial Engineering, entering the workforce while navigating the pandemic, and how the supply chain career outlook has changed even in our short time in the workforce! Thanks so much to Ellen Wood for taking this idea and running with it!
