My summer days with Reliance at Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City



“So when’s your last day again?”

I pause for a moment, hoping that by delaying the answer I also delay the inevitable truth that I’ve hoped would never come. Being an intern means that a semester of school and classes are waiting for me back in the Mumbai City. It will be exciting to be back at work at school, but I still need some time to context switch, if you know what I mean!

There are so many things to look back upon this summer, and there’s no denying that the people I worked with make a large part of the powerful experience that comes with working at Reliance ADAG. Everyone at Reliance works to make things better for their users.

Still I can remember, 2nd January, 2012- the first day of interview- Goregaon to Koperkhairane, Route no 123 of NMMT. Reached DAKC gate no 1 from Koperkhairane on taxi after paying a huge buck of Rs 300/- just for 1 km.

Conferance Room 3- 'B' Block, my interview venue.

After few minutes, interview started with Regional Head HR. 15 min gone, 30 min.... ooff... a cup of coffee..than again started, after 45 min interview.

I thought "interview eisa hei to kam keisa hoga yaha... god".

Now its the time for Result. waiting.....waiting........

Next day, on College Notice Board, I saw a new notice, its read "Jibon Jyoti Changmai has been selected for doing Summer Internship at Reliance Human Resource Services Pvt Ltd(ADAG)."

Reliance HR Services (RHRS), a part of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (RADAG) that needs no introduction.

But, I have to wait till April month...the only thing I can do is counting of remaining days.

9th April, Destination: 'B' Block, DAKC, Navi Mumbai

After collecting the Pass, I continued my walk though a huge greenary campus, really its a City.

And from here, my summer journey started >>>>>>>>>>

The Project which was given to me was "Mapping of Employee Retention Techniques"

Lots of New Joinee with their lots of problem, documentation, interview, maintaining of daily new joinee tracker, Appointment Letter, Exit Formalities, induction program, lunch at 'A' block canteen, bunking working hour, daily crush etc etc.. oooff... From 9-30 to 6-00.

25th June, I can't forget this day only for two reason.

One is, I did retention that day, at least one employee.

Second is its my last day at DAKC.

that day I didn't do anything except a Goodbye Email to my senior colleague.

Dear All,



I wanted to let you know that today is my last day at DAKC. For me Reliance has been a home away from home. Growing with RHRS was fun. I see this journey of a young immature boy who have transformed into a little bit mature person in the course of these 3 months. Met some really wonderful souls. Formed some impregnable bonds and have got tones of memories to cherish forever. I wish you all the best of luck in the future and I truly and deeply thank each and every one of you for all that you have taught me, all that you have given me, and all that you will always mean to me. Though our path diverges but our heart will remain together forever.



Below are my personal details. Do keep in touch.

I clicked the SEND button with tears in my eye.

Officially "Summer Internship" finished.

It was a great voyage of 3 months when I sailed through the ups & downs of the ocean like Reliance ADA Group.

I have worked with some of the most brilliant people I’ve met in my life and yet they were always humble and open to opinions and suggestions from someone like me, who had been in the team just for a few weeks. It is truly amazing how everybody’s opinion is not only respected but taken into serious consideration. This encourages everybody to throw ideas to the table no matter how long you’ve been with the company or how crazy the idea is. It is fantastic.

I’m sad to leave, but school starts soon. As I pack my things all I can do is thank to Team RHRS for an amazing summer.

I came, I saw, I learnt....still waiting to conquer!



 
Internship at Reliance ADAG: A Summer of Growth and Gratitude


There are moments in life that leave a lasting mark, and my summer internship at Reliance Human Resource Services (RHRS), a part of Reliance ADAG, was undeniably one of them. What began as a long commute from Goregaon to Koperkhairane for an intense 45-minute interview turned into a life-changing experience.


When I first stepped into Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City (DAKC) on April 9, the campus felt more like a mini-city than a corporate office. Lush green surroundings, sprawling buildings, and the sheer scale of operations filled me with awe. I was ready for a journey that would soon shape me personally and professionally.


My project, Mapping of Employee Retention Techniques, placed me at the heart of the Human Resource function. From handling new joinee documentation, exit formalities, appointment letters, and induction programs, to maintaining trackers and resolving queries, every day offered something new. I understood firsthand how people form the core of any organization, and I was proud to contribute—even if it meant dealing with daily chaos, juggling documentation, and grabbing a quick lunch at the ‘A’ Block canteen.


Among countless memorable days, June 25 stood out for two reasons: I successfully retained an employee, and it was also my last day at DAKC. The mixed emotions were overwhelming—one part of me proud of what I had accomplished, the other reluctant to say goodbye.


My farewell email to colleagues wasn't just a formality—it was an emotional expression of gratitude. I had entered Reliance as a student with curiosity and walked away more self-assured, mature, and inspired. Every person I met added something to my journey. What struck me the most was the openness of the team—the culture that encouraged even interns to share ideas and be heard. The humility of seasoned professionals was not only refreshing but incredibly motivating.


The 3 months at Reliance weren’t just about HR processes or corporate jargon—they were about growth, friendships, learning, and inspiration. While the internship has ended, the memories remain etched in my mind. I came with a dream, and I left with purpose. School may be calling me back now, but a part of me will always remain with RHRS.


I came, I saw, I learnt... and I’m still waiting to conquer.
