INTRODUCTION & COMPANY PROFILE

Meaning

An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of


time. Internships are typically undertaken by students or recent graduates who wish to gain
relevant skills and experience in a particular field. They serve as a bridge between academic
learning and the professional world, offering interns the opportunity to apply theoretical
knowledge in real-world settings.

Definition

According to the Oxford Dictionary, an internship is “a period of time during which a student or
new graduate gets practical experience in a job, for example during the summer holiday.”

The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as “a period of time spent doing a job as part of becoming
qualified to do it.”

Focus of an Internship

The focus of an internship can vary depending on the field of work and the organization. However,
general areas of focus include:

1. Skill Development: Providing hands-on experience and helping interns develop practical
and technical skills.
2. Industry Exposure: Introducing interns to industry standards, tools, and workplace
culture.
3. Professional Networking: Giving interns opportunities to build connections and gain
mentors.

7
4. Career Exploration: Helping interns understand their career interests and options through
real work experiences.
5. Academic Application: Allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge gained from
academic courses to real-life situations.

Objectives of an Internship

The primary objectives of an internship include:

1. Enhancing Employability- Internships provide practical experience that enhances a


candidate’s employability. Employers often prefer candidates who have prior work experience,
even if unpaid.

2. Skill Acquisition- Interns gain new technical, interpersonal, and organizational skills,
improving their overall competence in their chosen field.
3. Professional Development- Internships teach time management, accountability, and
communication skills, which are essential in any workplace.

4. Career Clarification- Interns can confirm their interest in a particular career path or discover
areas where they may not wish to continue.

5. Academic Integration- Internships allow students to link their academic studies with
professional practice, often contributing to better academic performance.

[Link] and Ethical Understanding- Internships expose students to workplace diversity,


ethics, and organizational behavior, helping them understand real-world dynamics.

Scope of an Internship

8
Internships are applicable across various industries and educational backgrounds. Their scope
includes:

1. Industry Versatility

technology, education, and more.

Limitations of Internships

Despite their many benefits, internships also have certain limitations:

discourage economically disadvantaged students from participating.

2. Quality and Structure Variability- Some internships lack clear objectives or mentorship,
reducing the learning experience to menial tasks.

3. Exploitation Risk- There is a risk that some employers may misuse interns as cheap labor
without offering real learning experiences.

4. Limited Role Responsibility- Interns may not be given substantial responsibilities,


limiting their ability to fully experience professional challenges.

5. Short-Term Duration- The short period may not allow interns to be fully involved in
projects or to see the long-term impact of their work.
6. Mismatch with Academic Goals- Sometimes, the internship role may not align with the
intern’s academic background or future career goals.

OVERVIEW ON SALES, ACCOUNTS & BILLS

Sales, Accounts, and Billing are three of the most crucial pillars in any business organization. They
ensure a continuous cycle of revenue generation, financial recording, and cash flow management.

2. Dependency on Local Markets: Being heavily focused on local markets could limit
growth opportunities outside the region, as there is less brand recognition in other
areas.

limited audience, reducing potential customer reach compared to more generic jewelry
businesses.

nationwide delivery, attracting more customers.

2. Collaborations with Spiritual Communities: Partnering with spiritual institutions,

demand for such items.

Threats:

20

larger marketing budgets could pose a challenge to AMMA'N in attracting new
customers.
2. Economic Instability: Economic downturns can affect the discretionary spending of
customers on luxury items like custom jewelry and spiritual products, leading to
potential declines in sales.
3. Changing Consumer Preferences: Shifts in consumer preferences, such as a move
towards fast fashion or cheaper alternatives, could impact demand for high-quality,
handcrafted jewelry and spiritual items.

DAY 3 – 7/03/2025 - (3 hrs)

OBSERVATIONS: Assistance to staff in writing bills and recording in system. ( Excel ).


During my internship at AMMA’N G&D. I began providing staff member an assist for billing,
which includes both hand written and digital entry. I observed how crucial product details such
as weight, purity, design, and HUID/ID were meticulously recorded in invoices to ensure
accuracy. Additionally, I gained an understanding of how GST calculations, making charges,
and discounts were applied in jewellery billing, which helped me appreciate the financial
aspects of retail operations. I observed how crucial product details such as weight, purity,
design, and HUID/ID were meticulously recorded in invoices to ensure accuracy. Additionally,
I gained an understanding of how GST calculations, making charges, and discounts were
applied in jewellery billing, which helped me appreciate the financial aspects of retail
operations.

LEARNINGS: On day of 7th March, internship at Amma’n Gold and Diamonds, I began
by familiarizing myself with the company’s background, product offerings, and
organizational structure. I learned that the brand masterfully blends traditional and
contemporary jewellery designs, offering personalized pieces through casting services and
innovative techniques like light stamping. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and

24
cultural craftsmanship has built a loyal clientele since their inception in 1997 in
Kayamkulam, Kerala, later expanding internationally to Manama, Bahrain.

As I assisted the staff with billing and system recording, I gained hands-on experience in
writing detailed invoices, ensuring accurate entries of product descriptions, weight, purity
(such as 22KT or 18KT), HUID (Hallmark Unique ID), and applicable taxes like GST. I
observed that while handwritten bills were still used for customer interaction, all transactions
were systematically recorded in Excel for inventory management and sales tracking. I learned
essential Excel functions, such as SUMIF and VLOOKUP, to automate calculations for totals,
discounts, and taxes, reducing manual errors. Additionally, I helped maintain daily sales
reports and customer purchase histories, recognizing the importance of precision in data entry
to avoid discrepancies between physical stock and digital records.

One key takeaway was the significance of compliance in jewellery billing—ensuring HUID
and GST details were correctly documented to meet legal standards. I also noticed
challenges, such as occasional manual entry errors and delays in updating digital records,
which led me to suggest a dual-verification system where one staff member prepares the
bill while another cross-checks the Excel entry. To further streamline the process, I
recommended using standardized drop-down menus in Excel for product names and
exploring billing software like Tally for automated tax calculations, while retaining Excel
for backup and analysis.

DAY 4 – 8/03/2025 - (5 hrs)

OBSERVATIONS: Recording Bills & Handling customer , store keeping. All the bills are
hand written and are later recorded in system, I engaged with certain customers on my day of
internship and explained product features, pricing and discounts. Store keeping is important
for a outlet which consists mostly of jewellry items. This helps in maintain proper decorum
around the shop.

25
LEARNINGS: Through hands-on experience, I gained valuable insights across three
crucial aspects of jewellery retail operations. In billing and Excel management, I learned that
absolute accuracy is non-negotiable - even minor errors in entering details like HUID could
lead to legal complications and erode customer trust. I mastered practical Excel skills, using
formulas like SUMIF and VLOOKUP to automate calculations and streamline sales tracking,
while recognizing that implementing barcoding or QR systems could further enhance
efficiency and reduce manual errors.
When it came to customer service, I discovered the power of active listening and clear
communication, particularly when explaining complex concepts like making charges. I
observed fascinating generational differences in customer preferences - while traditional
clients appreciated detailed explanations about craftsmanship, younger buyers valued quick
digital transactions. Most importantly, I learned that handling complaints with patience and
offering fair solutions was key to maintaining long-term customer relationships.

For inventory and store maintenance, I saw how daily Excel updates were essential for
preventing audit discrepancies. The importance of proper tagging and organized storage
became evident as it significantly reduced retrieval time. Based on my observations, I
proposed implementing a checklist system for vault operations to prevent item misplacement,
demonstrating how simple procedural improvements could enhance security and efficiency in
store management.

DAY 5 – 10/03/2025 – (3 hrs)

26
OBSERVATIONS: Helped customers and interaction, During my internship at the jewelry
store, I observed that successful customer interactions relied heavily on personalized attention
and product knowledge. Staff members skillfully adapted their approach based on customer
profiles - explaining hallmark certifications and purity details to traditional buyers while
emphasizing contemporary designs and digital payment options to younger clients. I noticed
that the most effective sales associates practiced active listening, patiently addressing concerns
about pricing or craftsmanship, which often converted hesitant shoppers into confident buyers.

LEARNINGS: Through direct customer engagement, I learned that trust is built through
transparency - clearly explaining making charges, return policies, and gold rate fluctuations
prevented post-purchase dissatisfaction. Handling complaints became an opportunity to
strengthen relationships when resolved with prompt exchanges or thoughtful discounts. Most
importantly, I realized that in luxury retail, technical knowledge about jewelry must be
balanced with emotional intelligence to understand unspoken customer preferences, making
each interaction feel exclusive rather than transactional. These experiences highlighted how
customer service excellence directly impacts brand loyalty in the jewelry business. Through
direct customer interactions, I gained valuable insights into relationship-building in jewelry
retail. I learned that product knowledge alone isn't enough - successful engagement requires
reading subtle cues like body language and tone to tailor the sales approach. Elderly customers
often valued detailed explanations about hallmarking traditions, while millennials responded
better to quick comparisons of design versatility and resale value.

DAY 6 – 11/03/2025 – (2 hrs)

27
OBSERVATIONS: Managing store, I observed that effective store management relies on
meticulous organization, attentive customer service, and streamlined operational processes.
The showroom maintained a well-structured layout, with jewelry pieces displayed in secure,
well-lit cases categorized by collection (bridal, daily wear, diamonds).

LEARNINGS: I learned that maintaining a jewelry store requires both precision and
adaptability. Implementing a more robust tagging system and conducting real-time inventory
updates could significantly reduce errors. Additionally, I recognized how store ambiance and
product presentation directly impact customer experience. Well-trained staff who could
effortlessly locate items and provide knowledgeable assistance enhanced both sales and
customer satisfaction. The experience taught me that successful store management combines
systematic organization with the flexibility to address day-to-day challenges while maintaining
the highest standards of security and service.

DAY 7 – 12/03/2025 – (3 hrs)

OBSERVATIONS: Inventory checkup is a crucial for all types of store, to keep a maintain
record of all the inventory. items were systematically organized and securely stored, with anti-
theft measures in place. Each piece was carefully inspected for accuracy, condition, and proper
documentation, including serial numbers and valuations. Discrepancies were minimal, and
slow-moving stock was identified for potential promotional strategies. The overall process
ensured inventory integrity and efficient tracking.

LEARNINGS: Inventory checkup is a crucial for all types of store, to keep a maintain
record of all the inventory. items were systematically organized and securely stored, with anti-
theft measures in place. Each piece was carefully inspected for accuracy, condition, and proper
documentation, including serial numbers and valuations. Discrepancies were minimal, and

28
slow-moving stock was identified for potential promotional strategies. The overall process
ensured inventory integrity and efficient tracking.

DAY 8 – 14/03/2025 – (3 hrs )

OBSERVATIONS: Handling customers and greet customers warmly and observe senior
staff to learn sales techniques. Assist by fetching items, maintaining displays, and providing
basic product details under supervision. Practice active listening and polite communication.
Always alert a supervisor for complex inquiries or transactions. Prioritize discretion, security
awareness, and a helpful attitude.

LEARNINGS: Through these observations, I learned several valuable lessons about


jewellery retail customer service. First, product knowledge is crucial—understanding karat
measurements, making charges, and current gold rates builds customer confidence. Second,
emotional intelligence matters greatly when handling special occasions like weddings or
anniversaries; customers appreciate when staff recognize the sentimental value of their
purchase. I also learned that handling objections requires diplomacy—when customers
questioned prices, the most effective staff members would calmly break down costs rather
than becoming defensive. Perhaps most importantly, I realized that trust is the foundation of
jewellery sales, which is built through transparency about product quality, clear
communication of return policies, and consistent after-sales service. These experiences taught
me that successful jewellery retailing depends as much on relationship-building as it does on
the products themselves.

DAY 9 – 15/03/2025 – (3 hrs)

29
OBSERVATIONS: Book entry and ensure accurate recording of all transactions, including
sales, purchases, and returns, with detailed descriptions (metal type, gemstone details, weight,
and serial numbers). Double-check entries against physical stock and invoices. Maintain
organized digital/physical logs for audits. Verify pricing, discounts, and taxes to prevent
discrepancies. Update records in real-time.

LEARNINGS: Through this process, I learned the critical importance of accuracy in


bookkeeping, as even minor errors in weight or purity could lead to significant financial
discrepancies. I became proficient in using formulas for automatic calculations and understood
how organized record-keeping facilitates smooth audits and inventory management. The
experience highlighted how maintaining clear, consistent entries not only ensures regulatory
compliance but also builds customer trust when verifying transaction histories or addressing
queries. Implementing double-check protocols and regular reconciliation between physical and
digital records emerged as key strategies to minimize errors and maintain operational
efficiency in the jewellery business.

DAY 10 – 17/03/2025 – (2 hrs)

evening posts (6-9 PM) and weekends generated more interactions, aligning with peak user
activity. A strategic mix of niche hashtags like #ArtisanJewelry and broader ones like
#LuxuryFinds helped expand reach while maintaining relevance. Most importantly, targeted
ads with clear calls-to-action—especially for specific collections like engagement rings—
delivered stronger conversion rates compared to generic promotions.

need both beautiful pictures and interesting stories. High-quality close-ups of pieces worked
best, especially when paired with captions about how they're made. I discovered that posting
in the evenings and using a mix of popular and specific hashtags helped more people see our
content. Videos and carousel posts showing jewelry from different angles got more likes and
shares than single images. For ads, clear calls-to-action like "Shop Now" performed better
than vague promotions. Checking Instagram's analytics regularly taught me what content our
audience liked most, so we could create more of it. Simple interactive features like polls made
followers more engaged. Most importantly, keeping a consistent style in all posts made our
brand look more professional and trustworthy.
