As an intern at Reliance Retail, my experience was enriching and valuable. I was exposed to a dynamic and fast-paced retail environment, where I gained hands-on experience in various aspects of the retail industry. The team at Reliance Retail was supportive and provided me with ample learning opportunities, allowing me to develop my skills in areas such as customer service, inventory management, visual merchandising, and sales. I was also given the chance to collaborate with team members and contribute to real-world projects, which enhanced my problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
