Founded in 2010, by Sarvesh Agrawal, [1] an IIT Madras alumnus, Internshala is a career-tech platform helping college students and freshers get the best start to their careers. The platform provides students with their first real-world experience through internships and fresher jobs [2] and skilling in on-demand areas through online trainings and placement guarantee courses in line with its vision of becoming a career super app for college students.
Sarvesh, [4] founder & CEO, started Internshala [5] as a blog [6] with a mission to bring a culture of meaningful internships in India. And for the first two years, he hired only virtual interns.
This strategic decision not only reflected his forward-thinking approach but also demonstrated his commitment to leveraging technology to pioneer a new era in the internship landscape of India. The early emphasis on virtual internships laid a solid foundation for Internshala's growth and success.
After building a small team, Internshala then launched their website [8] with just one goal - to equip every student in India with their dream internship. And they did it all for free.
This launch marked a significant milestone in Internshala's journey, as it sought to bridge the gap between students and potential employers, facilitating a culture of experiential learning and skill development [9] across India.
The next big step could not have been anything other than launching their very own Android app, [11] bringing Internshala in the ‘hands’ of the students.
This development brought Internshala directly into the hands of students, enabling seamless access to internship opportunities [12] and resources on-the-go. This expansion into the mobile app sphere not only increased the platform's reach but also solidified Internshala's position as a leading provider of internship solutions in India.
After many successful years as an internship platform, their motivation to upskill the students only increased, and that’s when Internshala [14] kickstarted a new journey with Internshala Trainings. [15]
The introduction of Internshala Trainings [16] underscored the platform's unwavering commitment to fostering continuous learning and professional growth among its users, solidifying its position as a career super app for students seeking to excel in their chosen fields.
With Fresher jobs, [18] Internshala embarked on a journey filled with newer challenges, which allowed them to provide bigger & better opportunities to graduates with 0-2 years of experience.
This strategic move opened doors to a plethora of new challenges, enabling Internshala to provide enhanced and more substantial opportunities to fresh graduates entering the workforce.
With an insight that more than 90% of the graduates in India start their careers with a job that pays less than 3LPA, Internshala came up with Placement Guarantee courses [20] to help the students start their careers in their dream profiles.
These courses are designed to provide comprehensive training, [21] hands-on experience, and direct placement assistance to students, ensuring they are well-equipped to excel in their chosen fields.

An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of time. Once confined to medical graduates, internship is used to practice for a wide range of placements in businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies. They are typically undertaken by students and graduates looking to gain relevant skills and experience in a particular field. Employers benefit from these placements because they often recruit employees from their best interns, who have known capabilities, thus saving time and money in the long run.

The system can be open to exploitation by unscrupulous employers.
