HR Intern

Internship | HR & People Operations | Unpaid | Ownership Role

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated HR Intern who wants hands-on experience in building and managing HR functions from the ground up.

This is an ownership-driven role where you will work directly with the Founder and play an active role in setting up HR processes, employee systems, policies, talent acquisition practices, and workplace culture.

You will have the opportunity to understand how HR functions are built in an early-stage organisation and take ownership of projects rather than simply assisting with routine administrative tasks.

- Prepare and coordinate offer letters, appointment letters, salary revision/hike letters, experience letters, and other HR documentation.
- Maintain employee records and HR documentation.

1. HR Policies & Compliance

- Work closely with the Company Secretary (CS) team in setting up organisational policies and HR-related compliance processes.

1. Talent & People Management

- Support employee engagement and retention initiatives.
- Help establish systems for employee performance, feedback, development, and growth.
- Assist in identifying employee needs and improving the overall employee experience.

1. Employee Engagement & Culture





- Develop and execute employee engagement and cultural activities.
- Introduce initiatives that encourage collaboration, recognition, learning, and team bonding.
- Contribute to building a positive and mission-driven organisational culture.

1. Founder’s Office / HR Projects

- Work directly with the Founder on building the HR function from the ground up.
- Identify gaps in existing HR processes and propose practical solutions.
- Take ownership of HR projects and implement systems rather than only providing administrative support.
- Get exposure to decision-making, organisational structuring, and people strategy.

Who Can Apply?

We welcome applications from

- B.Com / BBM / BBA / MBA / PGDM candidates
- Students or graduates with an HR specialisation
- Candidates from other academic backgrounds who are genuinely interested in building a career in Human Resources
- Freshers and candidates looking for practical HR experience are welcome to apply.

What You Will Gain
- Hands-on experience across HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, Employee Engagement and People Management
- Exposure to HR policies and organisational compliance
- Experience working directly with a Founder
- Opportunity to build HR systems and processes from the ground up
- Practical experience conducting candidate screening interviews
- Exposure to the intersection of HR, compliance, organisational strategy and people management
- Significant ownership and decision-making exposure

Important This is an unpaid internship opportunity with an early-stage, non-funded organisation.

The role is best suited for someone who is looking for hands-on ownership, meaningful experience, and the chance to build HR systems from the ground up, rather than a conventional internship with limited responsibilities.

If you are proactive, comfortable taking ownership, and genuinely interested in building a career in HR, we would love to hear from you.
