This internship experience gave me a true insight of how family owned businesses work in a Pakistani environment. The authority vested in the interns actually made me realize that interns can also be considered part of an organization. I was not limited to one area or department only but got a chance to work on all the businesses that EGC was operating in. Moreover, it was a nice experience for me as a marketing intern to work on the projects related to finance, audit, operations, etc. This was one big learning opportunity for me.
