Company Description HimShikhar HerbTech is developing Himachal Pradesh’s first commercial-scale, climate-controlled agriculture facility focused on pharmaceutical-grade medicinal herb production. Located in the Himalayan foothills, the facility leverages natural altitude and temperate climate to support high-quality, consistent cultivation. The company is setting current standards for how medicinal herbs are grown, documented, and supplied to India’s pharma, AYUSH, and nutraceutical sectors.

Its integrated technologies include aeroponic towers, hydroponic channels (NFT/DFT), Dutch bucket substrate beds, automated precision fertigation, and IoT-based microclimate monitoring. These systems enable year-round, weather-independent production with reliability not achievable through open-field or wild-harvested sources.

Role Description This is an on-site internship role based in Mandi for an Organic Chemistry – Analytical Research Intern. The intern will assist in designing and conducting experiments related to phytochemical profiling, extraction optimization, and quality analysis of medicinal herbs. Daily tasks include preparing samples, running analytical tests (e.g., chromatography, spectroscopic methods), recording and interpreting data, and maintaining accurate lab documentation.

The intern will collaborate with cultivation and operations teams to link chemical profiles with growing conditions,



helping to refine standard operating procedures for pharmaceutical-grade herbs. The role may also involve drafting technical reports, supporting validation studies, and contributing to internal knowledge databases.

Qualifications

- Strong foundation in organic chemistry, including reaction mechanisms, functional group analysis, and structure–activity relationships.
- Knowledge of analytical chemistry techniques such as chromatography (e.g., TLC, HPLC), spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, IR), and quantitative analysis.
- Experience with basic laboratory practices: sample preparation, solution making, titration, safe handling of chemicals, and maintenance of lab records.
- Ability to analyze experimental data, use spreadsheet or scientific software, and present findings clearly in written and verbal formats.
- Attention to detail, adherence to safety and quality protocols, and a systematic approach to experimental work.
- Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related discipline.
- Interest in medicinal plants, phytochemistry, and applications in pharma, AYUSH, or nutraceuticals; prior exposure to these areas is an advantage.
- Willingness to work on-site in Mandi, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, and adapt to a quick-evolving research environment.
