Although I had some experience with Muslim culture from living in India, this experience allowed me to learn a great deal about certain customs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His client\u2019s business dealt with various aspects of the paper production industry. As part of his project, Mehta considered the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of each function of the company. Although Mehta did most of his work from the company\u2019s main headquarters in Jakarta, he also enjoyed the opportunity to talk to employees at one of the client\u2019s paper mill facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking in Jakarta, I realized the opportunity for growth in the region,\u201d Mehta said. \u201cThis experience opened my mind to the scope of international business in Asia and how certain factors apply specifically to developing markets. I had to understand the background of my client to get to the root cause of issues to consider which factors impact productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mehta\u2019s team in Indonesia was mainly comprised of locals who were familiar with the language and culture, but the Singapore office had staff from many countries. In both locations, Mehta enjoyed the chance to interact with people from various nationalities and backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoutheast Asia is a growing hub for business, and it\u2019s full of young people making their mark,\u201d Mehta said. \u201cI often met with colleagues and friends for lunch or dinner outside of work to build connections and explore the cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mehta advised that students thinking of interning abroad should research the culture and conditions of the cities they will be visiting to understand the diversity of different places and industries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always looked forward to consulting,\u201d Mehta said. \u201cMy expectations for this internship were that I would have the opportunity meet a variety of people, work with interesting challenges, and have fun. BCG was a dream company for me, and my team was very helpful. It was a great experience overall.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jessica Hirsch This past summer, Vivek Mehta (Class of 2016) interned with the Boston Consulting Group out of their Singapore office.
