Who are we??
We are a young start up with an ambition to create stimulating practical learning platforms for young
minds.
“LetsIntern”, our first offering, is the first step in this direction. Given our experience in facilitating
more than 500 internships, we sincerely believe “Internships” is the best and most powerful tools to
unlock the value that lies within more than 10 million students in various graduate colleges across India.
LetsIntern is a movement to grow the supply pool of internships and position it attractively to the
students, and in the process creating well crafted internships that create value for all. So, if India due to its
demographic advantage produces 10 million students, it is our duty to make them more employable, more
skill oriented so that we build a successful work-force for tomorrow who earn well, consume well, invest
well and keep the vicious cycle of growth alive.
Why should one invest in Interns??
There are a thousand reasons why one should, ask any top of the league organization. All of them have
developed robust internship programs over the years. We list down a few reasons of why we think
everyone should:
• Young, raw, enthusiastic and motivated talent.
• Good-will, Relationship and Brand Building exercise with youth cum future employee pool. Helps
to create awareness of the employment opportunities at your firm and attract the best talent.
• They are non-expensive
• They can be used for tactical projects which require high head count for short terms. This does not
disrupt your regular work flow.
• Cost-Effective way to sample recruits for final placements
• Not being part of the political set-up that employees form part of, they are willing to stick their
neck out and offer out of the box ideas.
All the big names (Pepsi, Mckinsey, Google, P&G, GE, Goldman Sachs etc.) hire interns, ALL of them.
Unfortunately, the mid-size and small firms, who stand to benefit the most from a robust internship
program, fail to capitalize on this freakishly “cost-effective” and “motivated” pool with values which
should drive talent in such firms.

goals and passions.

Why LetsIntern?
Yes! We know that most probably:
• You have hired interns earlier, and they were happy and so were you with their performance.
• You get enough requests from colleges and placement committee
• Your HR department can take care of the above process.
We ask:
• Did the Intern do a research project whose finding was not surprising but just confirming to
general belief in the organization or the findings have been long forgotten?
• You don’t screen all candidates from these colleges, but hire a few last minute interns whose CV
you find “decent”.
• Departments for these interns were pre-decided, but JD given only 1 day after his/her joining.
Evaluation, if any, is not documented. Case Study not generated, unless an MBA Intern.
The above is a fact in 95% of Internships, if you fall in the other 5%, CONGRATULATIONS!!
You have a good Internship Program, but give us one chance to make it Great.

LETSINTERN – THE PRODUCT
Identifying needs
Speaking to the relevant person in your organization. Establishing the research areas or work areas where
an intern can assist the firm and add value to it. Which function or project would benefit from an intern
and vice-versa.
Getting a Job Description
Indian firms have faired poorly on this account. We all know of instances or have personally experienced
situations of bad or no job descriptions for interns. A simple example is that “research form filling and
data entry” is what most internships end up as. We believe there is a lot more one should do and can do
with a bunch of smart, well groomed students with good communication skills. Therefore, we lay great
emphasis in creating a good job description which not only attracts the best talent but also results in more
value added to the project/function.
Pre-Selecting Candidates
We understand the work-load that most HR managers have juggling between recruitment, training,
retention, employee activities etc. Therefore, based on the preference communicated to us by the HR
department, we will forward you candidates by pre-screening and pre-interviewing them. Thus, you will
only be selecting from a choice set of your preference.
Monitoring and Feedback
We have a very strong feedback and monitoring mechanism at both end of the program. At the outset of
the internship, we will get an expectation setting form filled from both the Company as well as the intern.
There will be a mid-review form as well as a mid-review chat. Based on feedback from mid-review form
and chat, both parties will be suggested on how the second leg of the internship can be made more fruitful
for both parties concerned.
Post Evaluation and Case Study Generation
We would do a post evaluation of the internship based on end-results and initial expectation. This will
help company realize that how it can add value to it internship program and how successful it was. Also,
each candidate will have to compulsorily submit a case study based on his/her experience.
Our FEES:
We would love to do this for free, but we have to cover our administrative costs and invest in growing
this space. Our fees are bare minimal as mentioned below:
Rs. 1999/- only for the first candidate.
Rs. 999/- for every subsequent candidate.
