Wishtree - UN Relationship: One step further

Abstract

This report reflects the invaluable experience I gained from the summer internship which began at Wishtree Technologies, Ahmedabad in the month of May. I was Associate Trainee in Business Development for the Wishtree Services division. In 2010, when two co-workers cum friends at Infosys started their own company, Wishtree Technologies was founded. Since then, they have been in the business of providing its corporate clients with customized app-based and software solutions. The technology team at Wishtree is specialized in web development, app solutions, cloud services and other digital services. In this 10 week of Internship, I carried out Business Development Activities which facilitated sales and increased brand awareness of Wishtree Technologies. One of the objectives of the task was to generate leads using different social media platforms like, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. After gaining experience in data collection and data scrapping I was given the task of finding new business opportunities in terms of procurement opportunities provided by various International Agencies and Development banks. Apart from that, lead generation activity using remote portals was also consigned to me, which included intensive data scraping and search. Lead generation and sales in the service industry is quite unique experience, customer engagement plays a major role in it. Overall learning during the internship was enriching. The experience provided an opportunity to apply the theoretical concepts learned at IMNU on the workplace practically and also to learn new tools and techniques. It provided valuable professional and personal learning to assist in future career pursuits.
