Ascentic

The IT landscape in Sri Lanka has always been a feature on the Rizing Consumer Industries Summer Internship agenda. Rather than inviting a speaker to office to share expertise, we went over to one of Sri Lanka's most dynamic IT product and solution providers - Ascetic. Students received the opportunity to understand the demands of the industry and an overview of operations. A Swedish company founded by Anna and Patrik who were visiting Sri Lanka on a holiday a number of years ago & ambitiously invested in an organization which is today renowned in the Nordic region for its excellence. Ascetic was recently honored with the title of one of the great places to work in Asia. Thanks Dilini Rajapakse, Wasana Gallage Abeysinghe and the team from Ascentic for making this happen :)

Intern Reflection I just finished my one-year internship, and I thought of sharing my insights on improving as an intern 1. Observation and Communication 🧐 You are not a freelancer or a student, you are an employee like a musician in an orchestra (you can be fluent with your instrument but useless if you are out of sync with the crew). Achieving mutual understanding with co-workers is crucial when working towards a common goal. By being observant and analyzing situations, you can gain a better understanding of their perspectives. When misunderstandings arise, it's important to communicate respectfully and clearly to resolve them. As an intern you have a lot to learn, so being observant and open to feedback is essential to your growth. 2. Taking responsibility 🙌 Taking ownership of the task at hand is really important, Making decisions and being accountable for the outcomes shows maturity. By taking responsibility, you demonstrate initiative and a commitment to your role. Actively seeking solutions, asking for help when needed, and learning from mistakes not only builds your confidence but also earns the respect and trust of your colleagues and supervisors. 3. Technical Understanding ⚙️ Knowing a lot about technology is good, but having a proper understanding is better. This will help you in problem-solving as you will know the best way to apply them and communicate the solutions to co-workers. Also working on research and development (R&D) tasks and moving out of your comfort zone is really important to improve your confidence when diving into new technologies. 3. Have fun 💃 Having a happy co-worker to deal with is always better. Find ways to be cheerful and positive. Be a good listener to your co-worker’s stories so that you can make fun of them at the right time. Having a fun time together will let you make bonds and memories, it will make communication more smoother. And life is not always about work you should enjoy! I want to thank everyone at Ascentic for the awesome guidance they gave me as an Intern. Can’t ask for anything more, best place to start your career. Best of luck to everyone at Ascentic, hope we get to work again in the future🤩. #lifeatascentic #ascentic #internship
