Internship Role: Onboarding and generating business from street vendors
Project Duration: 2 Months
Location: Jaipur
Stipend: Fixed + Incentive-based Structure
Process of selection: Interview with TL
Project Overview
Ayekart has launched the Ration Riders initiative to bridge the gap between street vendors and essential supplies through a mobile distribution system. This initiative aims to provide easy access to daily necessities while creating a structured sales channel for vendors.
As part of this internship, students will be engaged in studying:
- Holistic vendor behaviour insights: How vendors make procurement decisions under uncertainty, especially in contexts combining perishability, storage constraints, and cost considerations.
- Exploration of loyalty program viability: Studying and suggesting retail loyalty schemes for the small, often cash-driven street vendor segment.
- Understanding of digital readiness and pooling preferences: Studying how vendors perceive and adopt digital solutions (e.g.,
mobile apps, delivery scheduling), or how collective procurement models may reduce operational burdens and costs.
- Exploring incentive systems for vendor retention and acquisition, such as referral programs, exclusive deals in the street vending ecosystem.
As part of this internship, students will be engaged as Sales & Onboarding Interns, responsible for Sales Executives (FSEs) in vendor onboarding, promotional activities, and market research to drive sales and expand Ayekart's network.
