Everyone here was welcoming and accommodating. The day I reached Pune happened to be Anant Chaturdashi \u2013 an important day during the liveliest and most loved festival of the city. The timing worked in my favour and I immediately began to feel immersed in the culture. At the guesthouse, I met two of my fellow CONNECT interns from Morocco and Algeria. Little did I know at that moment that they would become my family in India. My first day at the office was relaxed as I was introduced to my immediate team members and was allotted a desk where I found a delicious chocolaty surprise!<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28782 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/My-Life-as-an-Extentian.png\" alt=\"my-life-as-an-extentian\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/My-Life-as-an-Extentian.png 740w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/My-Life-as-an-Extentian-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p><p id=\"viewer-cgof6\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">The second week was intense and action-packed as it was time for X24 \u2013 Extentia\u2019s annual Hackathon! Having studied \u2018Urban and Regional Planning\u2019 in university, this experience was nothing short of wondrous. Seeing the concepts of urban planning and marketing come together through the hackathon\u2019s SMART City theme was mind-blowing and affirmed that I was indeed in the right place at the right time. I saw different Extentia houses work together as I excitedly supported my house \u2013 Spartans!<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-e18eb\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">In December 2019, I got to actively participate in organizing the fourth edition of \u2018ApplePi\u2019 \u2013Extentia\u2019s showcase of latest technologies and gadgets, especially for children and young adults. Being a part of the core team that made the event a success, the experience brought me immense satisfaction and joy, especially seeing the imaginative young minds immerse themselves in the world of technology.<\/span><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28788 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_ec1136fdc7054592a708deeffda48114mv2-min.png\" alt=\"X24 \u2013 Extentia\u2019s annual Hackathon\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_ec1136fdc7054592a708deeffda48114mv2-min.png 740w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_ec1136fdc7054592a708deeffda48114mv2-min-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p><p id=\"viewer-be501\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Throughout my stay at Extentia, my mentor and the rest of the marketing team encouraged me to learn a range of tasks. Constructive feedback at each step helped me learn and get better at what I do. I attended various breakfast talk sessions that addressed a range of interesting and thought-provoking topics. My personal favorite was a talk about indoor gardening by Nandan Kalbag \u2013 thoroughly inspired by which, I even purchased a plant later that evening. I plan to continue doing gardening back home. Apart from this, I also participated in various sports activities and even won a medal!<\/span><\/p><div data-hook=\"rcv-block7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28789 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_9c8d9d9e7aa74b69a5730c39288b3df9mv2-min.png\" alt=\"Extentia Breakfast Talk: Indoor Gardening\n\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_9c8d9d9e7aa74b69a5730c39288b3df9mv2-min.png 740w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_9c8d9d9e7aa74b69a5730c39288b3df9mv2-min-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/div><div id=\"viewer-aine1\" class=\"QHjDE rzoRKE\"><div class=\"Q6a5A\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\"><div id=\"new-image8498919\" class=\"vBPBf L9OMM XHhj0\" aria-label=\"Extentia - Breakfast Talk - Nandan Kalbag - Indoor Gardening\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28790 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_20f525aff7c349df9225627214a144e0mv2-1.png\" alt=\"XPL 2020\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_20f525aff7c349df9225627214a144e0mv2-1.png 740w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_20f525aff7c349df9225627214a144e0mv2-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p><p id=\"viewer-62cr4\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">It was never a dull day in Extentia. People here were always willing to help and ensured that all of us CONNECT interns felt at home even in the office. During my internship, I got to work with people from across departments which helped me explore different aspects of the corporate life. I was also a part of celebrating a few of Extentia\u2019s key milestones \u2013 the biggest one being the company\u2019s experience design center, XEN LAB PNQ becoming a member of the SAP AppHaus Network.<\/span><\/p><div data-hook=\"rcv-block10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_0b0626e1be1b4e82b8fca8e3bddf316fmv2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_0b0626e1be1b4e82b8fca8e3bddf316fmv2-1.png 740w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_0b0626e1be1b4e82b8fca8e3bddf316fmv2-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/div><div id=\"viewer-7oa58\" class=\"QHjDE rzoRKE\"><div class=\"Q6a5A\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\"><div id=\"new-image3093\" class=\"vBPBf L9OMM XHhj0\" aria-label=\"SAP AppHaus Launch at Extentia\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><p id=\"viewer-384m0\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\">At the end of a fulfilling five months at Extentia, I could proudly say that I left as a better individual who grew both on professional as well as on an individual level. I not only acquired skills that I did not possess at the beginning of my internship but also perfected the ones that I already had. More confident and assertive, I transformed into a problem solver and a solution seeker over the course of my internship. No matter where I go, I will carry the Extentia spirit of \u2018Do More, Be More\u2019 with me!<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28792 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_1d1be6d947bc4798b5e228b29f9abe22mv2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_1d1be6d947bc4798b5e228b29f9abe22mv2-1.png 360w, https:\/\/web.kalpakprojects.com\/Extentia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/16fa7f_1d1be6d947bc4798b5e228b29f9abe22mv2-1-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Read other Extentia blog posts <a class=\"TWoY9 itht3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.extentia.com\/media-resources\/blog\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\"><u class=\"D-jZk\">here<\/u><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evelyn Musembi, Marketing Intern .
