You grow by growing others!
How do I make most of my internship? How do I grow as an individual? What makes a company / start successful? Join me to find the answers to those questions in this brief, up-to-the-point post.
I take pride in being Product Development Fellow at Hasura from Dec ‘17 to Feb ’18. I observed & learned many things before, during & after the fellowship period. And I want to share those observations and learnings with you today. Let’s dive in!
Intern / community member…
- Engage with the community.
- Help your peers.
- Ask for help when stuck — people will willingly help you.
- Help ≠ spoon-feeding
- Spend time with your teammates/projectmates. Know them well!
- Research, before you seek help.
Getting involved in a community increases your individual growth-rate by 10 folds.
Community / startup / company…
- Self-motivated individuals makes great community.
- Proper communication opens gates to unexplored opportunities.
- Employees don’t command each other — they work by each other.
- Highly focused captain (leader) with clear vision steer the ship to the right course.
More…

Quick Tips…
- Be precise while seeking help. Don’t confuse others with your long, boring help message, as I’m currently doing. The message will be ignored, if your peers get confused.
- Don’t share information that you are partially aware of. If you do, state so.
- While seeking for help, phrase your question with all relevant information.
- Be thankful to others!
Everyone brings something to the table. What will you bring?
I’m glad that I ended up being a part of such an innovative & creative company like Hasura. Thanks a lot. Special thanks to the Captain Tanmai Gopal, relentless Arpit & Sandip, and all the 24x7 emergency rescue folks at Hasura.
