One opportunity can become the foundation of an extraordinary career. For Ridhima Thakur, an MBA in Business Analytics student at Eternal University, Baru Sahib, that opportunity has arrived in the form of an internship with CBRE (Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis) — one of the world’s leading commercial real estate services and investment firms.
Her achievement is more than a personal milestone. It is a powerful demonstration of what happens when meaningful, values-based education meets real-world industry exposure — and a proud moment for North India’s first all-girls university.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating – Internship at a Global Industry Leader
CBRE is a Fortune 500 company and a global benchmark in commercial real estate services, investment management, and property consulting, operating across dozens of countries with tens of thousands of professionals worldwide. Securing an internship with an organisation of this scale is a competitive accomplishment for any management student in India.
For a student from a residential Himalayan campus in Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, it carries an even deeper significance: it proves that geography is no barrier to ambition. With the right academic foundation, mentorship, and analytical training, students from Eternal University are competing — and succeeding — on a national and global stage.
Ridhima’s selection reflects the qualities that top recruiters look for in business analytics talent:
- A strong command of data-driven decision making
- The ability to translate raw data into business insight
- Professional communication and workplace readiness
- The confidence to perform in a dynamic corporate environment
Why the MBA in Business Analytics Is One of Today’s Most In-Demand Degrees
Across every industry — real estate, finance, retail, healthcare, technology — organisations are making decisions based on data. This has created sustained demand for management professionals who combine business acumen with analytical capability.
An MBA in Business Analytics prepares students for exactly this intersection. Graduates typically pursue roles such as:
- Business Analyst
- Data Analyst / Analytics Consultant
- Market Research Analyst
- Operations and Supply Chain Analyst
- Product and Strategy Associate
Commercial real estate — CBRE’s domain — is itself becoming increasingly analytics-driven, with firms relying on data science for market forecasting, portfolio valuation, occupancy modelling, and investment strategy. An internship in this environment gives a Business Analytics student direct exposure to how analytics powers billion-dollar decisions.
