CtrlS The Summer Internship Program

Background CtrlS is Indias leading provider of Datacenter solutions with 2 Tier-IV datacenters currently operational in Navi Mumbai and Hyderabad. CtrlS has many firsts to its credit including Indias first Tier-IV datacenter, besides DR and Cloud solutions that have redefined the way IT services are consumed by client organizations. In a short span, CtrlS has already been recognized by leading industry bodies like NASSCOM, CII, FICCI etc., for the pioneering work in creating IT infrastructure. The CtrlS Summer Internship Program CtrlS is made up of doers. And there is never such a thing as too many doers. This is an initiative to find such doers. Every year, CtrlS will offer projects to interns from engineering and management schools which will prove to be an ultimate test of their mettle. This year, the project is titled: Seedingthe Cloudand is an opportunity for young aspirants to test their skills at research, analysis, solution building, persuasion, negotiation and relationship building. It will test the interns ability to sell persuasively and evangelize the technology that is already changing the world. In doing so, they will learn what the industry is looking for and will have the opportunity to create in tailor-made solutions for some of these clients. CtrlS as a workplace CtrlS is a young organization, but more importantly, it is an entrepreneurial and resourceful organization, ever ready to soar higher with new ideas and new ways of doing business. There is a consistent effort to think new and think different. The rigidity of doing business with plug and play products is not for us. We believe that every problem presents a potential opportunity to invent a new way of working. Growth is rapid at CtrlS, especially for those who are self-driven and independent. CtrlS is, perhaps, one of the few companies where the entire top management meets with clients every week and where each new entrant to the inner circle only needs to prove his mettle; not come armed with fancy degrees and qualifications. In short, if you are burning to do something rather than just settle down into a nice job, CtrlS is your kind of place.
