About Alochanna

Alochanna (ଆଲୋଚନା, "discussion") is a newly launched, youth-driven digital community. We make history, politics, society, culture and current affairs easier to understand, with facts, context and respect for every perspective. We are rooted in Odisha and focused on all of India.

We are forming our first internship team to help build Alochanna's content, operations and community from the ground up.

Role Description

This is a part-time, remote, unpaid internship at Alochana with flexible hours. We are forming our founding internship team of 7 interns across 5 departments: Research, Content Writing, Video Editing, People & Operations, and Human Resources. Interns will support Alochana's content and community by conducting background research, verifying facts, drafting articles and scripts, and helping structure discussions on history, politics, society, current affairs and culture.

Depending on the department, day-to-day work may include preparing research briefs, writing social media posts and explainers, editing reels and short-form videos, repurposing content across platforms, coordinating projects and schedules, maintaining documentation, and supporting recruitment and onboarding. Interns will join regular virtual team and editorial meetings, pitch topics and formats, and help maintain a consistent, respectful and fact-based voice across all platforms. As part of our first team, interns will help shape how Alochana operates, communicates and grows.

This role is for people eager to learn, experiment, and build something meaningful in a collaborative, discussion-led environment.
