Finance & Strategy Intern

Abstract

Summer Internship programs is vital part for an individual’s overall development. As summer Internships provide practical knowledge which is not possible through books, it does provide ample opportunity to learn and enhance skills of an Individual. For my summer internship, I got an opportunity to work with Chai Sutta Bar as a finance and strategy intern. Whole of the internship was work from home due to on-going situation. For my first project, I was supposed to do an in-depth research on foreign expansion i.e. to research on the feasibility of expansion of franchisee in Australia. The country was assigned by the team itself. The research includes treaty signed between India and Australia (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement), feasible locations for expansion, various rules and compliances and other tax benefits in Australia. My second project was related to a problem-solving project where we provided them with the solution to their problem of franchise rating system by building a credit rating model in Microsoft Excel. The model includes various parameters and their formulas with their calculation in reference to the data collected from their franchisees. The scores are then generated based on these parameters and summing them all are resulted in the final score of a franchisee. The solution thus provided helped them in reducing their efforts and time. This report also includes methodology, sources of the data and lastly, learnings from the project.
