Project Everest Ventures India

Across the summer months, I have been lucky enough to intern with Project Everest Ventures (PEV) on the Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) project in Bhubaneswar, India. While on project I lived and breathed India! I was based in a small village 35 minutes out of Bhubaneswar, ate traditional Indian meals every night (chicken dopiza and samosa’s were a stable!), experienced the craziness of Indian public transport and was able to explore what makes India so special and unique on the weekends.

Each day of project varied drastically day to day; however throughout the month I was able to experience empathising with farmers in the local communities, developing my business skills and knowledge by running workshops, building my soft skills by increasing my EQ and integrating knowledge from my university degrees back into the project.

My internship with PEV has been a once in a lifetime opportunity where I have been fortunate enough to develop my leadership abilities in an environment that is supportive and stimulating. My month interning with PEV was inspiring, challenging and I’ve never met a group of individuals as wholesome and committed to long-term and positive change as the team at PEV. I can safely say that my involvement with PEV is hands down the best decision I’ve ever made as a university student.
