Summer Industry
Immersion Report
Undergraduate Class of 2027

Former Country Head, Softbank
Former CEO & MD, Bharti Airtel
Message from the Chairman
This report reflects the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm our students have
demonstrated during their summer immersions at some of the top companies across
industries. At Masters' Union, we emphasize "learning by doing", and these immersion
programmes allow our students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings.
During their first summer break, they gained exclusive insights into how rapidly
growing companies operate. I am immensely proud that our first-year students
worked at companies that have long been accessible only to final-year students from
premier Indian colleges. For example, one student played a pivotal role in launching a
major airline’s loyalty programme, while another contributed to the expansion of a
leading electric mobility company by helping design new services.
They faced challenging situations, took end-to-end ownership of work streams, and
were treated as full-fledged employees. From corporate strategy and social media
marketing to sales optimization, operations management, and brand management,
they gained hands-on experience across critical business functions. This immersion
was invaluable in helping them grasp the fundamentals of a professional work
environment, including time management, task prioritisation, and managing
stakeholders. I look forward to seeing them achieve many more milestones and
greater success in the future.
