Are you an Early Bird?
My Master's internship UCAL Ltd. wasn't just my first job, it was a transformative launchpad into the exciting, (and sometimes very demanding!) world of manufacturing.
Waking up at 4:45 AM (Monday to Saturday) for the 6:00 AM shift with my cycling buddy, Padmanaban (Paddu) was an adventure in itself.
His pre-dawn pep talks and shared bike rides kept my energy high, even when the rooster crowed a little too early.
Those early days were filled with enthusiastic learning.
I dove headfirst into engineering drawings, eager to contribute.
However, a few initial mistakes on my individual tasks – a crucial dimension missed here, a minor detail overlooked there – had a real impact on the manufacturing process.
Seeing the consequences firsthand wasn't just humbling, it was a pivotal moment.
It ignited a spark of curiosity within me, revealing the intricate dance between design and production.
Those errors, instead of discouraging me, fueled a desire to understand the process better.
This experience, with all its challenges and triumphs, was a turning point in my career trajectory.
Sure, there were early mornings and learning curves, but the dedicated team UCAL Ltd. fostered an environment of growth.
From my mistakes, I learned the importance of meticulousness and attention to detail.
Perhaps most importantly, I discovered a passion for research in the field of design for manufacturability.
Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful for this first internship eventually turned into my first job :-)
Grateful to my friends and leaders Vijaykumar Rajavelu, Paddu, Vijee, Vasu, Thiru, Balaiah, Kumar anna, SRS, IR, Raman sir during that time.
What’s your First Job / Internship?
Love to Listen :-)
