If someone stepped into the PanScience Innovations office on an ordinary weekday, they might notice conversations flowing across desks, the tech team deep in discussion, or interns focused on carefully crafted messages. What they wouldn’t immediately know is how these small everyday moments shape the people working here. I was one of those people, and the office environment played a larger role in my development than I ever expected.

My journey began with a simple campus announcement. Several internship roles were listed, and the business development position drew my interest instantly. After completing a form, an assignment and interviews that felt smoother and more supportive than I expected, I found myself stepping into an office that felt welcoming from the first moment.

In the early days, I tried to understand what being part of a venture studio meant. I had only a vague impression before joining, but watching the workspace in action brought it to life. Each venture had its own space, its own rhythm and its own team working with focus and enthusiasm. Conversations flowed easily across departments, and people shared insights as if collaboration was simply the natural way to operate.

My daily work routine blended seamlessly into this environment. Depending on my classes, I would arrive between nine and eleven and settle into tasks for Parchaa, the health tech AI venture I was supporting. My mornings usually began with checking my CRM updates, reviewing messages, planning outreach or analysing follow ups. Around me, I could hear the soft hum of work unfolding. Someone discussing a pitch, another scheduling a demo call, someone else reviewing product details with the tech team.

Lunchtime had its own charm. There were no fixed timings, and people drifted together in small groups. Some talked about work, others about their day or their plans. These conversations revealed the culture more clearly than any introduction could. There was warmth, ease and a sense of belonging that made even new interns feel included.

Afternoons usually brought deeper focus. I worked through outreach lists, prepared messaging sequences, updated CRM entries and handled follow ups. On some days, there were moments of pressure, like urgent responses required by clients or last minute alignments before an outreach push. But the environment never felt tense. The office seemed to move with a calm persistence, something I gradually absorbed into my own working style.

There were moments that challenged me too. Once, I made a small typo in a client conversation and immediately felt the weight of it. Yet instead of disappointment, I received guidance that made the situation manageable. Another time, the LinkedIn account I was using became restricted due to extension issues, and I worried I had affected the outreach process. The team calmly helped me understand what went wrong and how to avoid it. These moments showed me that growth here came from how challenges were handled, not from avoiding them altogether.

One day that stood out involved a demo call with the West Bengal IT department. Since I knew Bengali, I was asked to help by providing spoken inputs during the system demonstration. As I sat alongside the tech team, watching how smoothly they managed the technical setup while coordinating with the business development side, I gained a deeper appreciation for how interconnected roles could be within a venture studio.

As weeks passed, I noticed my communication skills improving more than I expected. I became more confident in approaching clients, more articulate in conversations and more comfortable speaking with people from different teams. Teamwork became an essential part of my growth as well. Working closely with the business development team taught me how shared responsibility and mutual support make work more efficient and less stressful.

Recognition played its own subtle role. I remember being appreciated for updating the CRM sheet, especially when a significant number of new leads had come from my outreach. It felt rewarding and reinforced the idea that small consistent contributions matter.

Through all these experiences, I began understanding business development at a deeper level. It wasn’t just about sending messages. It involved representing a product clearly, creating genuine interest and guiding people toward conversations that mattered. Along the way, I learned professionalism, balance and communication skills that I hadn’t anticipated at the start.

Looking back now, I see how the quiet everyday moments shaped me. The conversations, the problem solving, the collaborative energy and even the mistakes contributed to growth that happened steadily, almost invisibly. That is the true behind the scenes story of my time at PanScience Innovations.
