Vector Consulting Group
has onboarded 26 Management Summer Interns from IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta,
IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, and XLRI Jamshedpur. The intake reflects the firm’s
continued engagement with top campuses and its focus on building a strong pipeline
of consulting talent.
At Vector, the internship
experience is rooted in groundwork and real exposure. Interns are not confined
to the headquarters or limited to internal assignments. Instead, they work on
live projects, where they engage directly with business challenges and see how
sustainable solutions are designed from first principles and implemented on the
ground. The intent is to give them a clear, unfiltered view of implementation
consulting as a career, beyond presentations and frameworks.
The firm places strong
emphasis on preparing interns for long-term roles. Through close guidance,
regular feedback, and hands-on involvement in execution, Vector aims to
identify and extend Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) to a significant portion of the
group. The focus remains on helping interns build practical understanding, take
ownership, and contribute meaningfully during their time with the firm.
Commenting on the
development, Sayan Chakrabarty, CHRO, Vector Consulting Group, said:
“We are pleased to
welcome this group of interns to Vector. What matters to us is that they
experience consulting as it actually is. That means stepping into client
environments, understanding problems at close quarters, and being part of
execution, not just analysis. We spend time guiding them through this journey
so they can see if this is a path they want to pursue. Our goal is to identify
and nurture people who thrive in this setting and bring them back as full-time
consultants through our PPO programme.”

outcomes. Today, Vector has a team of 200+ consultants and has worked with over
400 clients across sectors such as automotive and auto components, consumer
goods and retail, textiles and garments, engineering and construction,
equipment manufacturing, and life sciences. Its work spans operations, supply
chain and distribution, retail and B2B sales, new product development, and
project management. The firm’s client base includes organisations such as Tata
