About Alochanna

Alochanna (ଆଲୋଚନା) means "discussion", and that's what we're here for. We're a new, youth-led community that talks about India's history, politics, society, culture and current affairs in a way that's easy to follow, backed by facts, and fair to every side. We started in Odisha, and we talk about all of India. We're now putting together our first internship team, and the people who join will help shape how Alochanna grows.

The Role Description

This is a remote, unpaid, part time internship with flexible hours. We're looking for 7 interns across 6 departments: Research, Content Writing, Video Editing, Strategy & Growth, People & Operations, and Human Resources.

What the work looks like depends on your team. In Research, you'll dig into the background of a topic and check facts.

In Content

Writing, you'll write articles, scripts and social media posts.

In Video

Editing, you'll work on reels and short videos. In Strategy & Growth, you'll look at what's working on our platforms, plan content and campaigns, and find new ways to reach and grow our community. In People & Operations and Human Resources, you'll keep projects and schedules on track and help with recruitment and onboarding.

Everyone joins our regular online team and editorial meetings. You'll be encouraged to pitch ideas, ask questions, and help keep our voice honest, respectful and fact-based. If you like learning by doing and enjoy a good discussion, we'd like to hear from you.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are genuinely curious about Indian history, politics, society and culture,



and who can disagree with someone without disrespecting them. You should be able to write clearly in English and turn a lot of information into something simple; Hindi or Odia is a bonus. You should know how to research online, check where information comes from, and give it proper context.

A feel for how Instagram, X and YouTube work will help, and basic video editing or design skills are a plus, though not required.

For Strategy & Growth, an interest in social media trends, audience insights and planning will help. For Operations and HR, we're looking for people who are organised, careful with details, good at keeping things confidential, and comfortable with Google Workspace and Slack. Across every role, we value good communication, meeting deadlines, and being able to work on your own while staying part of a team.

Students, recent graduates, self-taught creators and early-career professionals are all welcome, especially if you come from humanities, social sciences or media. No prior experience is needed.

What You'll Get

On successful completion, you'll receive an internship certificate, along with a Letter of Recommendation based on your performance. You'll be credited for your work that we publish on our social media and website, and you'll get feedback and guidance from the team, along with work you can add to your portfolio. As we grow, interns may also be considered for future paid roles, based on performance, though this isn't guaranteed.
