What is KITES?
Knowledge, Initiative & Talent Excellence Series (KITES) is ITC's flagship Summer Internship Programme designed to provide leaders of tomorrow with a unique platform to learn from, experience and manage real business situations. KITES is a program where students have the opportunity to experience the rigor of live business scenarios, apply their theoretical learnings and gain precious insights into management, leadership and navigating dynamic challenges.
Internships are offered for two months each year. KITES is a critical platform that enables us to identify exceptional talent from the best institutes in India who have the potential to become the next generation of leaders at ITC. Based on their performance during the internship, interns are awarded Pre-Placement Offers of employment.
Step II: Group Discussion
Shortlisted candidates are invited to participate in a group discussion. This provides us insights into the candidate's ability to lead, influence, communicate and work as a team member to achieve the desired results - essential skills for a successful manager and emerging leader.
Step III: Personal Interview
Candidates selected through the group discussion are invited for personal interactions with some of ITC's senior managers, allowing us the opportunity to understand the candidate's depth of functional knowledge, general awareness and overall fit with our core values.
