The mentoring team was very supportive, and the content quality was high, which helped me learn a lot in just four weeks. This internship gave me a strong foundation in Data Analytics and helped me build my core technical skills. The VOIS Internship, conducted in collaboration with AICTE, played an important role in strengthening my learning and professional growth by providing structured resources and practical projects that improved my understanding of Data Analytics, Python programming, and visualization techniques. 

A key highlight of the internship was working on weekly industry-oriented projects under mentor guidance. These hands-on tasks helped me gain experience with real datasets, create visual insights, and present my findings effectively. The projects sharpened my problem-solving approach, strengthened my analytical skills, and boosted my confidence by connecting academic concepts with real-world applications. 

The internship also introduced me to applying data analytics in web development, particularly in areas such as user behavior and UX analysis, performance and reliability, conversion and funnels, personalization, security, traffic quality, and business and product insights. I learned about user behavior tracking, basic metrics, analytics tools, event tracking, performance analysis, and conversion analysis through guided hands-on tasks and continuous feedback. This internship inspired me to continue building my skills in emerging technologies and motivated me to pursue advanced learning in Data Science and AI.

Student, Gujarat

“I see a brighter future in IT—it offers comfort and opportunity together,” says Krunal, now working as a Software Testing Intern at Brain Payroll.

 Growing up in a farming family in Gujarat, Krunal assisted his father in agriculture, where he developed practical problem-solving skills. His academic experience did not cover advanced AI and tech concepts, leaving him seeking a structured path into the IT industry. Before the program, Krunal lacked formal training in modern technologies. The curriculum provided him with a strong foundation in Python, AI, machine learning, and IoT, along with specialized SAP tools for analytics and application development.

 The training enabled him to build a Bluetooth-based home automation system, which later won him an ₹1,04,000 grant from the Gujarat government. Employability sessions in resume building, interview skills, and group discussions prepared him for the recruitment process.

 Today, Krunal has secured an internship with a package of 4 LPA, gaining experience in API and regression testing. He aims to continue growing in the tech industry, leveraging the blend of practical and professional skills the program provided. “The guidance gave me confidence in interviews and a clear path from agriculture to a digital career,” he reflects.

“The program gave me deep, practical insights you don’t always get in college,” says Bhavisha, now working as an AI Agent Development Intern at Hex Wireless.

The daughter of parents who run home tuition classes, Bhavisha was a self-driven student. During her engineering degree, she developed an interest in data science and machine learning, exploring through personal projects while adapting to the shift to online learning. Before the program, Bhavisha was seeking structured, industry-relevant experience beyond her college curriculum. The advanced training provided her with in-depth knowledge of Python, machine learning, deep learning, and SAP ABAP, while hands-on projects like building a virtual assistant solidified her skills.

 Mentorship from instructors with corporate experience offered her practical insights and confidence. This preparation helped her secure a six-month internship where she works on integrating AI voice agents into CRM products.

 Today, Bhavisha earns a monthly stipend of ₹15,000, lives independently, and is building a stable career in technology. She aims to one day develop AI solutions to support mental health issues. “The mentors had real corporate experience, and the projects were relevant—it was exactly what I needed to launch my career.”

Student, NSTI Chennai, Tamil Nadu

“I moved from agriculture to building an app for farmers, and now I’ve secured a role in tech,” says Sountharya, now working as a Customer Support Executive at Omega Healthcare.

Coming from a family where her father works as a courthouse assistant and her mother is a homemaker, Sountharya initially pursued agriculture and government exams. When the pandemic affected their finances, she took up freelance writing to support them. Her interest in technology’s role in farming led her to explore AI and ML.

Before the program, Sountharya had no coding experience and faced doubts about learning tech in just months. The structured curriculum and clear instruction helped her build a strong foundation in Python, SQL, Machine Learning, and tools like Power BI.

Creating her “Helper for Farmers” app—which detects crop diseases, recommends crops, and tracks market prices—allowed her to combine her agricultural background with new technical skills. Through design thinking and public speaking sessions, she gained confidence in presenting and teamwork, which shone during interviews.

Today, Sountharya has been offered a position with a CTC of over ₹2,50,000 and aims to become an AI Engineer in agriculture. “This program connected my past with my future,” she shares. “It gave me the skills to build solutions for farmers and the confidence to pursue my dreams.”
