Getting an IB internship in India

I'm a rising junior at a non-target in the US. I'm also an international student from India. I've been reading some of the posts here on WSO and found that IB in India requires an MBA degree from top universities. What can I do to get an internship next summer? I have been applying to the BB internships(Indian locations) but I really have no idea about undergrad internships in India.

It's impossible haha unless you know the CEO. I am interning at a BB rn and I got it cause my father knew the MD well. There are internships only for MBAs who go to top IIMs or IVYs. Moreover, you need an MBA to get promoted to a VP or get a buy side role. Otherwise, you'll be stuck as an associate for the rest of your life. I would recommend USA as IB in India is super super hard to get in. No undergrads get a job and very few MBAs do. Even a CA or a CPA doesn't help. Hope this was helpful
