Operations Intern (Full-Time, Paid)

StudioK The Founder Residency | Bengaluru, Karnataka

About StudioK

StudioK is a founder residency in Bengaluru. We house early-stage founders and support them as they build their companies. Think of it like a startup hostel, but with structure, accountability, and real access to capital and mentors. We are part of a growing ecosystem that believes India's next wave of global companies will come out of places like this.

We are looking for someone to run the day-to-day operations of the residency. This is not a back-office role. You will be central to how the program runs.

Location

StudioK - the founder Residency, Bengaluru, Karnataka. Full-time, in-person.

Must be based here or willing to relocate.

What You Will Do

Staff Management

Coordinate the residency staff on a daily basis. Attendance, task delegation, and making sure the house runs smoothly. Founders are heads down building. The operations around them should be invisible.

Vendor Management

Own all vendor relationships including internet providers, housekeeping, catering, furniture, maintenance, and utilities. Follow up, negotiate, and keep costs in check. If something breaks, you fix it fast.

Basic Accounting and Bookkeeping

Maintain day-to-day accounts and expense records. Familiarity with Tally or basic Excel bookkeeping is preferred. Support monthly financial reporting to program leadership.

Founder Progress Evaluation and Reporting

Track founder milestones, blockers, and week-on-week progress. Prepare simple internal reports that help leadership make decisions on cohort support and next steps.

Founder Onboarding





When a new founder joins the residency, you handle their setup end to end. Room, access, orientation, introductions, house rules. First impressions matter.

Space and Facility Management

Keep the residency functional and presentable at all times. Meeting rooms, common areas, kitchen, workstations. Founders work at all hours. The space needs to keep up with them.

Event Coordination

StudioK runs workshops, speaker sessions, investor meets, and demo days. You handle the ground-level logistics. Venue arrangement, invites, food, materials, and follow-ups.

Procurement and Inventory

Manage office supplies, equipment, and subscriptions. Maintain a simple procurement tracker and flag reorders before things run out.

Community Management The residency is only as strong as the community inside it. Organize informal dinners, chai sessions, peer check-ins, and founder pairings. When someone is struggling or disconnected, you notice it and do something about it. Culture does not maintain itself.

Cohort Communications

Manage internal WhatsApp groups, notice boards, and weekly updates for current founders. Keep everyone informed and aligned without overloading them.

Bi-Weekly VC Newsletter

Every two weeks,



compile and send a newsletter to our investor and partner network. Cohort updates, founder milestones, curated startup ecosystem news, and relevant opportunities. You pull the content, write it cleanly, and send it on time. This is a visibility tool for StudioK and a relationship-building channel for our LP and investor base.

Scheduling and Coordination

Help program leadership manage calendars and meeting logistics. You are not an assistant. You are the person who makes sure the right things happen at the right time.

Documentation

Processes, vendor agreements, house rules, founder check-in notes. If it matters, it should be written down. You will build and maintain that habit for StudioK.

Who We Are Looking For A recent graduate or someone with one to two years of experience in operations, event management, or a startup setting. You do not need to come from a fancy college. You need to be reliable, organized, and someone who takes ownership without being told twice.

Bonus if you have worked at a co-working space, student incubator, college entrepreneurship cell, or early-stage startup in Bengaluru.

What You Get

Competitive monthly stipend. Daily exposure to founders, operators, and investors building real companies. If you plan to start something one day, there is no better place to learn how it all actually works.

How to Apply
