BY Internship Programme enters its second year
The Bhavishya Yaan Internship Programme, launched to great acclaim last year, has now entered its second year—continuing its mission to equip young, driven alumni of the BY programme with practical skills and professional exposure to enhance their employability.
This year has seen a notable interest in Finance as a preferred career pathway. Many interns have chosen to work in Chartered Accountancy firms or within the finance departments of various companies, reflecting a growing confidence in navigating complex, professional environments.
Among the interns is Anil Lambhor, an alumnus of the Colaba school and a current BAF student at Lala Lajpat Rai College. Anil has embarked on his internship at RC Reshamwala and Co., under the mentorship of PN Manish Reshamwala. He is gaining hands-on experience in auditing and using accounting software such as Tally. Anil has already begun accompanying his seniors on audit assignments and has made meaningful connections within the firm. His responsibilities include verifying financial documents and handling tasks such as bank book reconciliation, cash book balancing, and checking bank statements and expense vouchers.
Over at Square Foot, Satish Saroj—a Prabhadevi school alumnus now studying at Keerti College—is learning the fundamentals of accounting. His internship has been made possible through the support of Rotarian Abhishek Saraf, who has helped create a welcoming and educational environment. Meanwhile, Kush Rathod, also from Colaba school and a former intern at GEPL, has returned this year to deepen his skillset— this time in the field of coding. Under the guidance of PE Bimal Mehta at Vakils Media, Kush is working as a front-end developer, contributing to real client software projects. He has even embarked on an independent project to create a website, showcasing both initiative and growing expertise.
The programme has also expanded into new sectors, with some interns preparing to explore areas as varied as Pharmaceuticals and Social Work, further highlighting the programme’s growing diversity and reach. We extend our sincere gratitude to our Rotary partners, whose support has been instrumental in shaping this initiative.
Their efforts in facilitating paid internships have provided our alumni with invaluable exposure to professional work settings. This experience not only enhances their technical abilities but also instils a sense of confidence, a renewed enthusiasm for learning, and a stronger drive to grow and realise their full potential.
As Bhavishya Yaan steps into its second year, it continues to be a beacon of hope and opportunity—transforming aspirations into achievements, one internship at a time.
