An Indian startup CEO has just opened the doors of opportunity with a remote internship offering a stipend of up to ₹2 lakh per month, with even high schoolers encouraged to apply. Siddharth Bhatia, co-founder and CEO of Puch AI, unleashed his recruitment drive on X (formerly Twitter), hungry for fresh talent to join as either an AI Engineer or the enticingly titled Growth Magician.
In case you’re wondering if you need a degree: not here.
In fact, Bhatia has already hired a high schooler, proving that old clichés about “needing a college education” might finally be replaced with “parking yourself in the comment section.” Applicants don’t even need to leave their homes, much less their pajamas, as this position is fully remote. The stipend ranges from ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh per month.
The application process requires candidates to comment directly on Bhatia’s original post—because if you can’t get noticed online, how will you make an impact in AI? Direct messages are discouraged; apparently, even Opportunity has a no-DM policy. In a move sure to rally the country’s professionals, anyone who tags a successful candidate wins an iPhone.
Sorry, referrals—no BMW for you just yet.
About Puch AI
Founded by a National University of Singapore graduate and an IIT Bombay alumnus, Puch AI aims to make artificial intelligence “accessible to every Indian, regardless of the language they speak or their technical background.” In other words, they’re looking for people more interested in code than dress codes.
Social media, true to form, erupted into a comment-fest, with eager applicants laying out their skills and ambitions, and perhaps a few parents fainting from the stipend numbers. So, if you know a tech-whiz high schooler—or you are one—this could be your big break. And if not, you might at least win an iPhone. Who knew job hunting could be this lucrative…or this entertaining?
