Oracle interns hit the ground running in India
The best internships are built on opportunity. That’s why we empower our interns to gain valuable experience, forge meaningful relationships, and advance their dream careers. It’s an action-packed immersion into the world of tech—one that can transform your career journey. Take it from our interns in India, who caught up with us to share highlights from their time at Oracle.
First impressions
First impressions can be powerful, especially during a three-month internship. Amit Kumar was particularly stuck by Oracle’s work culture.
“From day one, I was impressed by the company’s values and culture, which truly reflect the importance of innovation, integrity, and teamwork.”
Khushi Sood knew she was going to enjoy her time at Oracle from the moment she first stepped into the office.
“The team was incredibly welcoming, and we hit it off right away. I felt comfortable asking questions and sharing my thoughts. Everyone was always happy to help.”
Collaboration
Oracle’s emphasis on collaboration proves especially important when it comes to tackling technical projects. With plenty of support from teammates,
interns are motivated to take on new challenges and embrace hands-on learning.
“I got to learn new skills and technologies that I never thought I’d be able to pick up,” Khushi says. “It was challenging at times, but my team was always there to lend a hand and guide me through any hurdles.”
Amit adds, “My colleagues’ expertise and willingness to guide me through my projects were invaluable. Their constant encouragement has been instrumental in my growth and development during this journey so far.”
Professional growth
Mentoring is one of the cornerstones of career development at Oracle. While employees at every level participate, it’s especially useful for those at the start of their careers. All interns have access to seasoned mentors, who provide personalized professional support.
“My mentor, Ayush Garg, has been incredibly supportive and helped me grow as a developer,” says Akash Jain.
In addition to learning from his mentor and manager, Akash made the most of Oracle’s training resources.
“I had the opportunity to learn and improve my skills in C++ Advanced, Linux, SIP, VoIP, and object-oriented design. I’m grateful for the time Oracle invests in training, which has helped me assimilate the concepts.”
Though this training fell outside the scope of his internship projects, Amit found a way to succeed at both.
“Oracle’s dedication to work-life balance was commendable, allowing me to develop my skills and learn new things while balancing my project work.”
Letting loose
Of course, an Oracle internship is more than projects and development. There are also plenty of chances to let loose, have fun, and make new friends.
“There was never a dull moment during my internship,” Khushi says. “We had team lunches, played together, and much more. I made some great friends during my time at Oracle.”
Akash adds, “We went on an outing with the team and had loads of fun! It was a great way to bond and take a break from our day-to-day tasks.”
Ananya Thapliyal points out that you can even find fun at work.
“Working at the Oracle Tech Hub has been a highlight—the themed floors, inclusivity initiatives, and games block create a great atmosphere for creativity.”
Inclusivity at Oracle has been a major plus for Amit as well.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to connect with other interns from diverse backgrounds. It provided me with a broader perspective and insight into different experiences.”
Though their internships have come to a close, Ananya, Amit, Akash, and Khushi are looking forward to a bright future in tech.
“My three months at Oracle were a wild ride of fun times and learning galore!” Khushi tells us. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such an amazing team, and I’m looking forward to learning and growing.”
