Job description

We are an early-stage startup building a business from scratch, and we are looking for an intern to work on sales and marketing. This internship is for job seekers who have completed their studies and are ready to work full-time. It is not open to students. Interns who perform well will be offered a full-time role with us.

This is not a desk internship with a fixed routine. You will work directly with the founder, see how a business is built from the ground up, and take on real responsibility from your first week. If you want exposure, learning, and hands‑on experience more than anything else, read on.

What you will do

• Find and reach out to potential customers by phone, WhatsApp, and in-person visits.
• Follow up on leads, explain our products, and close orders.
• Build and maintain relationships with customers, dealers and partners.

Marketing

• Plan and post content on our social media channels.
• Support online campaigns, promotions and local marketing activities.
• Collect customer feedback and market insights from the field.

Supporting tasks

• Coordinate orders, deliveries and vendors.
• Keep sales, stock and customer records up to date in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Prepare simple reports and presentations for the founder.
• Take on whatever the business needs that week; in a startup, everyone does a bit of everything.

Who we are looking for

Must have

• Real passion and enthusiasm for business: you enjoy selling, talking to people and figuring out how things work.
• Fluent in Tamil and English (spoken).
• Basic computer skills: Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
• Your own laptop, mobile phone, and two-wheeler (with a valid driving licence).
• Willing to travel for customer visits, market visits, and events.

Good to have

• Any attempt at entrepreneurship: a small business, freelancing, reselling, or running a social media channel or page. Tell us about it, even if it didn't work out.
• Any sales, marketing or customer‑facing experience, from a previous job, a business, or freelance work.
• Living in or near Vandalur, Chennai.

• Stipend (during internship): ₹5,000 per month
• Duration: 1 Month
• After the internship: Full‑time role for selected interns
• Working days: 4 days a week: 3 weekdays + 1 weekend day
• Work mode: Hybrid; come to the office when required
• Location: Office near Vandalur, Chennai, plus field travel

Please read before applying

If your priority is salary and convenience, this internship is not for you, and we request you not to apply.

We are looking for someone whose first priority is exposure, learning, and experience. You will learn how a business is built from scratch, through sales and marketing, faster than in most jobs. In return, we expect ownership, flexibility, and the drive to make things happen. Interns who show this will continue with us full‑time.
