Internships & Global Leadership Development in India

Bangalore and Facilities

Bangalore

Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India, the BPO capital of the world, and within India, as the "Garden City," famous for its groomed parks, flower and tree lined streets, cosmopolitan flair and ideal climate, comparable to that of Southern California.  Filled with museums, temples, palaces, art galleries, and theaters; golf courses, restaurants, luxury hotels, pubs and clubs, it is more comfortable and welcoming to a Westerner than any other city in India.  Bangalore hosts one of the greatest concentrations of Fortune 500 company operations within this city of 7.7 million in the world.   MBA and PhD graduates number in the thousands, making it the ideal location to study, work and learn about the India phenomenon.

Campus

We share our campus with the International Centre for Management and India Studies (ICMIS), whose core business uses the reverse model of IndiaInternships.com by preparing and sending Indian business and IT students to study in the United States.  In addition, it is one of the premiere training locations for multinational corporate management, having built and conducted custom training modules for HP, Novell, Intel and others.  Completed in Spring 2005, the campus is situated on five acres and is outfitted with Wi-Fi access, a computer lab, library and modern teaching facilities and equipment.

Housing and Accommodations

In the case of scholarship-funded internships, host companies typically arrange for appropriate housing accommodations. However, IndiaInternships.com may assist the company upon request.  Housing options include living with a family or renting a service apartment.

Homestays typically include a single bedroom with breakfast.  Students have the opportunity to experience India as a local by living with a family and participating in daily rituals.  Service apartments typically include a bedroom with two beds, desk, lamp, private bath and common facilities.  When possible, staff will arrange opportunities for participants to discussing sharing accommodations.  This has proven popular as it provides an immediate support network with whom to share your India experiences. 

Orientation & Excursions

All participants will attend a city orientation upon arrival so that students become oriented to life in Bangalore.  Optional, 2-5 day excursions to major religious, cultural and historic sites in southern Karnataka may be available for an additional nominal fee.

Transportation and additional costs

Transportation to and from the IndiaInternships.com campus, the internships and around town will typically be by taxi, of which there are thousands, and IndiaInternships.com will have preferred arrangements with select companies that deal primarily with foreign business persons.  These and other incidental costs during your semester will be minimal.
