Company Description

GigID is building financial identity infrastructure for India's gig and platform-based workforce, making it easier for banks and NBFCs to evaluate income and risk. By enabling better assessment of underserved gig workers, GigID helps expand access to formal credit and improves financial inclusion.

As a growing fintech startup, GigID offers opportunities to contribute directly to impactful products and systems used in real-world lending. Team members collaborate across technology and financial services to solve complex data and infrastructure challenges.

Role Description

As a Growth & Strategy Intern at GigID, you will work directly with the founders to shape how we approach banks, NBFCs, and investors. You will help build our partnership pipeline, refine positioning for different institution types, and contribute to the strategic decisions behind how GigID goes to market. Day-to-day responsibilities include researching potential partners, helping craft pitch narratives, supporting outreach and follow-ups, and contributing to content that builds our visibility in the fintech ecosystem.

This is a founding-stage role where you will learn how a fintech startup actually builds trust with financial institutions, working closely with the CEO in a quick-paced, ambiguous environment.

Company: GIG ID

Location: Remote

Type: Internship (Full-time / Part-time)

Duration: 6 months

Stipend: Unpaid (performance-based full-time chance may follow)

What You'll Do

Research and identify potential bank/NBFC partners and investors, and help figure out what pitch works for each

Work directly with the founder on GTM and positioning decisions — your input shapes real strategy, not a side project

Help build and manage outreach — LinkedIn, email, warm intros — and keep the partnership pipeline moving

Support content strategy — LinkedIn posts, PR angles, applications to incubators and programs like RBIH





Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to speed up research, drafting, and analysis — not just for polish, but to move faster on real decisions

Collaborate closely with a tiny team — your voice matters here, and your ideas can change direction

Qualifications

Open to all fields and academic backgrounds — no specific degree required

Genuine interest in fintech, lending, or financial inclusion — coursework, personal projects, prior internships, or just demonstrated curiosity all count

Strong written and verbal communication — you'll be pitching ideas directly to founders and, eventually, real partners

Comfortable using AI tools effectively for research, drafting, and analysis — prompting and validating output, not just copy-pasting

Self-starter who can work with ambiguity — startup life means things change fast and no one hands you a fixed task list

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in any field

Nice to Have (Not Required)

Prior exposure to BFSI, NBFCs, or lending products

Experience with outreach, sales, partnerships, or content creation

Familiarity with pitch decks or founder-facing communication

Interest in financial inclusion or underserved-market problems.

Who this is NOT for

Not a 9-to-5, task-list role — if you need everything defined and checked off by a manager, this isn't a fit

We need someone who improvises, questions assumptions, and brings ideas — not someone who just executes orders.

Why Join Us

Real ownership — your strategy and outreach directly shape real partnership conversations, not a sandbox exercise

Direct mentorship from the founder — no layers of management between you and decisions

Fast learning curve — you'll touch strategy, partnerships, content, and pitch-building all at once

Potential for a full-time offer (with compensation/equity) as the company incorporates and grows

Flexible working hours

We aim to move fast — most candidates hear back within 1 week between rounds.

GIG ID is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
