Foreign Students Attracted Towards Internship Offers From Small Firms

A lot of overseas students are heading towards India to take up internships in Indian companies. But it is not only big names, including the Infosys and Tatas, which are attracting talent. Smaller companies are also becoming attractive for foreign students. A Pune-based IT company, Extentia is inviting youngsters from Europe, the US and the West Asia to its global internship programme. Foreign students have been competing with each other to work with this firm. IT giants such Infosys and Tatas have been running internship prorgrammes for a long time. Infosys has been doing the same for 10 years and Tatas have been doing the same since last four years. But a much smaller company like Extentia Information Technology too has been into it for the last eight years and has now built up its own fan following. The firm has had 80 interns from 10 countries – UK, Germany, France, Italy, US, Canada, Singapore, Egypt, New Zealand and Morocco.
