How can I apply for an internship?
You can apply for Gurukul either through Godrej LOUD or through the internship application process on your campus.
You don't recruit from my business school. Can I still apply for an internship?
Gurukul is currently only open to the business schools we recruit from.
Do you have a preference for people work experience or freshers?
No, our batches are a mix of students with work experience and freshers.
Can I apply to more than one Godrej company?
Yes, of course you can!
Tell me more about the projects offered at Gurukul.
We are very selective about the projects we offer. We believe this is a great chance for you to learn, as well as for us to assess potential for young Godrej leaders of tomorrow. Your project will be real-time (it comes from our plans for the year), and will be key for your project guide to deliver on in the next 6 months or so. We also ensure that we build in a couple of aspects that we think are important for you to be able to assess what a full-time role would be like - like field visits and research or customer interactions or monthly sales target meetings.
How do you assign people to projects?
We base this on then person's profile and our interactions with them during the selection rounds.
What role does a guide play?
Your project guide, as the name suggests, will guide your internship at Godrej - mentor, ask the tough questions, push you to think harder, and provide feedback and input. This is the person who you will work the most closely with, your 'reporting manager' for the 2 months.
Who is a buddy?
Your project buddy is typically someone who we see you growing into in the next couple of years. It could be an alumnus, or someone with a similar background to you. Your buddy is your go-to person to help navigate the more informal channels and figure out if this is the career for you – so get invited to the next team dinner or grab a coffee or catch up over a football game.
What kind of learning do you offer during Gurukul?
We believe the best part of Gurukul is that you get to learn on the job through real-time projects that can have significant business impact. Some of your most valuable learning will come from the interactions with different people – your guide, your buddy, your team members, your customers and business partners and even your batch mates and friends – and a whole lot of self-reflection that we hope you make time for. To help equip you better, we also offer some structured learning interventions like our popular online master classes and interactive sessions with different business leaders.
How do you assess potential hires?
Our assessment process is based on the Godrej Capability Factors, which define leadership capability at Godrej. It has 3 aspects: Leading Self (which is about being self-aware and self-driven), Leading Others (which is about collaborating with and developing people) and Leading Business (which is about acting strategically to deliver results). But most importantly, we look for a match with our values and principles.
Do LOUD winners have any added advantage over other students?
No, once part of Gurukul, all interns are offered the same learning input and assessed on the same parameters.
