Strategy & Operations Intern

STRATEGY & OPERATIONS INTERNEarly Team Role · Gurugram · Full-Time Internship
ABOUT THE COMPANYWe are a bootstrapped travel startup in stealth mode, building experiences designed specifically for travellers aged 50+. We believe the best years of exploration don't end at retirement, and that travel should become easier, more comfortable, and more meaningful with age—not more difficult.
India's 50+ population is growing rapidly, yet travel continues to be designed primarily for younger audiences. We believe this is one of the most exciting and underserved consumer categories of the coming decade—and early traction has only strengthened that belief.
The founder has spent over a decade building and scaling startups from zero to one across healthcare and consumer sectors, including launching multiple ventures through a venture studio model.
As one of the earliest team members, you'll work directly with the founder and help build the company from the ground up.

THE ROLEWe're looking for a smart, energetic, and entrepreneurial generalist who wants to build and execute—not sit on the sidelines. Your core mission: generate demand, acquire customers, and help plan and execute more trips from NCR.
This is not a conventional internship with structured tasks and constant direction. We're looking for someone exceptional—not because of where you've studied or worked, but because of how you think, act, and execute. You should have a track record of doing more than what was expected of you—whether in college, at work, or through something you've built yourself.
You'll work across the entire journey—from finding and converting customers to planning trips, coordinating with partners, and travelling with groups to deliver an exceptional experience on the ground. One day you may be running a marketing campaign or reaching out to communities; another day you may be speaking with travellers, negotiating with a hotel, or solving a last-minute challenge on the ground.
We need someone with real hunger—not just ambition on paper. Someone who takes ownership, moves fast, and figures things out when there is no playbook. This is a 3-month full-time internship (6 days working), with the opportunity to convert into a full-time role based on performance and mutual fit.

Prior experience in startups, sales, travel, hospitality, events, marketing, community building, or customer-facing roles is a plus—but a get-things-done attitude matters more than experience. Fresh graduates and candidates early in their careers are encouraged to apply.
