National Outdoor Leadership School who was a Trainee Pilot at IAF by profession. The Director
at OELT, Ms. Priya Venkatesh is a freelance consultant and has been a part of 2011 International

accredited by Bangalore Little Theatre, and professional outbound trainers.

clientele networks of over 200 organizations across Asia. It is through Immersion learning, cutting

Contribution & Approach Objective My duty as the Business Development Executive is to generate leads through strategies and draw
out the analytics to understand the business flow in the organization.
Work at Hands On I was recruited into the Sales & Marketing Team for the day-to-day activities that are mainly
circled around lead generation through various accomplished strategies. As an intern at Ozone, I
was under the supervision of Mr. Aman, Business Head, Hands On.
The typical day activity is to look into the present scenario of the events that are happening in
the organizations regarding the events.
Purpose The purpose of this report is to explain what I did and learned during my 2 months internships
period with Ozone Experiential Learning Technologies Pvt Ltd (OELT) in the section of Hands On.
The report is also a requirement for the partial fulfilment of ABV- Indian Institute of Information
Technology & Management Gwalior Summer Internship Colloquium. It focuses primarily on the
assignments handled, outcomes, future endeavors, and comments on the working environment
and conclusions.
Duties & Responsibilities Supported the marketing team of Hands On by being active generator of leads.
Completed the Sales & Marketing Analytics for due course of June & July aka my stay as
an Intern. The outcomes are something like the below:
The main duties over here are the construction of excel and dashboard for the
total financial year and the same has been compiled and made ready.
Analytical Study through the help of all the employees was done for the duration
of April-June.
Data has been arranged for the month of July that is to be kept under review for
analytics
Basically, this is to understand and reconstruct the arrears that are entering into
the system without knowledge.
This analysis is also to know one’s individual performance and share in the overall
output.
The analytics also helped the organization in knowing the process funnel and the
number of leads that could be generated in a due course of time.
12 ©2014- OZONE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
The backlogs that made a few leads/ prosperous clients drop are to be studied so
as to prevent further damage.
To collect reliable data that shall help in the future for assessment and comparision of the
costs that are to be incurred based upon the vendor to which the event management
duties are outsourced.
Scheduled meetings with concerned HR/ Training Lead and co-attended the same along
with the Principal consultant/ Business Head/ Director/ Manager at Hands On.
Arranged rekkie for the confirmed clients as a part of demonstration of the flow of events
and arrangements.
Gave some valuable insights of how to incorporate technology & internet into training
and activities. This shall really give a push because more or less all the organizations in
the present-day world are trying to be corporate. So, its better if we can provide them
with everything’s that is expected from us.
One of the suggestion was to live stream the video i.e., being continuously captured
during the program as a part of repository as well as memories’ for the clientele. If
the same could be streamed on YouTube, their near ones could watch these
corporates dress up in mud, dirt & enjoying to the fullest.
Business Generation A most implemented and widely accepted methodology of cold-calling has been replicated and
tailored according to the training requirements of various fields.
Key notes in Business Generation:
Identifying the target segment in terms of field and locality of the organization.
Locality is taken into consideration for optimal utilization of meeting time.
Collecting the requisite amount of data on a daily basis and comparing it with the master
database of Hands On so as to check for the inputs that might be available from co-
employees.
After removing the outliers accordingly, targeting an organization in such a way to make
an impact about Hands On.
Arranging a meeting with the prospective client Incharge that shall be taken by the
Principal Consultant/ Business Head/ Director/ Manager.

Business flow During the course of internship I could generate leads that belong to various fields and
organizations that are based out of Bangalore
The first meeting was with the HR of Karnataka Antibiotics Pvt Ltd, a government
enterprise where we have discussed the present-day situational problems among the
leadership cadre employees and the way they are to be trained. The training modules do
change and thus they are tailor-made according to clients’ requirements. The meeting
was quite successful and they are yet to be the prospective clients of Ozone Experiential
Learning Technologies Pvt Ltd.
The next lead was Ms. Shanthi of Lotus Labs Pvt Ltd, a pioneer in Bio-medical, Bio-
technology in India. They being a company of huge work force primarily the younger
generation who work in a 24x7 environment. They were in need of basic
communicational, and technical training.
The next lead is Mr. George, HR of BHEL Ceramics, a PSU based out of Bangalore. Their
requirements were completely different from many others. BHEL Ceramics being a
company with large work force belonging to various categories have various
requirements that can be solved on a regular schematic basis. The people at BHEL
Ceramics, received us with comfort and it went on well for us all through our stay in the
campus. It was my first experience of entering a PSU.
Another one was with Mr. Bhaskar of Bio-Medica Pvt Ltd. A private company in the field
bio pharmaceuticals. This is an organization that is trying to increase in number in fall
2014 through mass recruitment of prospectus students. So, the training requirements are
in general for the class IV employees or the trainees that are to be recruited.
Ms. Milee Mathew is Altech UEC is the prospective client who is highly interested in the
range of products of Hands On that are diversified and that shall meet all the needs of a
regular corporate organization. Their requirements were highly customized reason being
the team network is as so in that organization. A proposal was also sent according to the
requirements of Milee then & there with sufficient corrections that went on for the next
day or two.
Ms. Shobha Chandrashekara of Pramati Technologies based out of World Trade Center,
Bangalore is a software development company with maximum of their clients based out
of US. They have software engineers and budding trainees on a huge scale working on
various platforms aka JAVA, Android etc., they do have their own in-house training for all
the technical requirements. But, they were interested in having some outbound
interventions which are both large group and small but high-level based.
The next one in-line is Ms. Swati Shukla, Lead, H&M. She is overall Head for the training
department and she looks after the India, Sri Lanka offices. A very famous brand for
14 ©2014- OZONE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
accessories and other requirements basically for the fairer sex. They have even launched
into the male section. This is one of the best meetings I could have ever been a part of
during my stay at OELT. She is interested in knowing about the TEAMJAMTM,
CITYCHALLENGETM interventions as they are highly matching to their requirements. She is
completely satisfied by the way OELT has dealt with HomeShop18 for the same kind of
interventions. The reason for the categorization is the workforce similarities that can be
drawn between HomeShjop18 and H&M. So, the proposals were sent accordingly as
requested by Swati.
There were many more lead generations that happened during my stay as the Business
Development Executive and to name them through Organization. They are:
Molecular Connections Ltd
Medreich Sterilab Ltd
BaeHAL Software Ltd
Bhoruka Power Services Ltd
Brigae Hospitality Sevices
Euromonitor International
Mytrah
All the above mentioned companies are based out-of Bangalore and are dealt with the same
concerned offices.
Job of Analytics Need for the automatic updating of the values that are related to the marketing aspects of OELT.
This is just to use a reference to know understand the individual contribution of each & every
employee right from the Principal Consultant to the Interns. This shall also help for the looking at
the funnel of Business Flow in the week/ month as required. This is to know the problems that
are to be rectified and to know the reasons before in advance and thus acquire some time in
studying the backlog areas thoroughly.
For better understanding and healthy internal meetings, this helped a lot. The dashboards were
used to depict all the required numbers in graphs for clear picture and realization.

Assignments
Book Review:
An assignment was submitted in the form of a Book Review over “The One-Minute Manager” by
Kenneth Blanchard, Spencer Johnson and a presentation is also given over the same to let the
other employees understand and get the concepts of the book. It is definitely a worth read for
all the people what so ever the stream they might work in.
Comparative EXCEL regarding Quotations:
A detailed excel has been made to compare the various costs that are implied for a service by
various event management companies so that it shall help for the future reference of OELT. A
comparative excel has been for this where a conclusion can been made at least in terms of
financial matters of organizing an event for a client. This helps in cutting down the time that is
generally incurred in requesting for the quotations every now & then for various events that
happen or taken-up by OELT. So, it’s like a locally hosted quotation which is compiled in all
respects.

Results & Conclusions Impact of my work I believe my contribution had a lot of positive impact towards achieving the overall objectives of
Hands On and other related OELT subsidiaries. For example, my work related to analytics was
widely applauded in the internal assessment meeting and even my inputs were given value by
immediately accepting them as well putting them to work in all their future endeavors.
I am very glad to have done my internship at Hands On (Bangalore); it has given me a firsthand
experience with experiential learning which turned out to be quite diverse.
Summary of Hands On Internship Experience My experience with Hands On, Ozone Experiential Learning Technologies Pvt Ltd was amazing,
and it is the one that I will certainly never forget. The chance to interact and network with at this
level, providing an insight into the workings of Experiential Learning, HR Products & their
importance and other developmental programs was an unparalleled opportunity.
The internship provided me with an opportunity to familiarize myself with a variety of issues
ranging from the organizational behavior to training and personality profiling.
Above all, I obtained a certificate as a token of appreciation and even a free True Colors
assessment of mine that was provided by the Director of Hands On, Ms. Priya Venkatesh.
Comments on Assignments/ Business Development The working is friendly and everyone is kind, fully supportive and helpful. I had an overall
supervisor (Mr. Aman Jain) but at the same time I was working closely with other managers and
Director at Ozone depending on which activity I was assigned.
There were challenges sometimes especially the way Ozone does its business such as office
procedures and regulations. But, on a lighter note; I even can say that they are highly
unconventional working to bring out conventionality in the corporate works through their unique
HR products. The amalgamation of the work is the one that created a zeal in me and it is the one
that made me feel privileged.
I enjoyed working with the team. Surprisingly I was not referred to as intern by all but as Business
Development Executive at the meetings I co-assisted and represented OELT (Hands On). This gave
me a lot of confidence and exposure.
Being an intern of OELT, the only organization in India to run True Colors. I had the privilege of
being put under the True Colors Assessment Tool. My True Colors Report initials are as follows:
