Internship Opportunities


KrishiKalpa Foundation is offering internship opportunities for students and young professionals from Kalyana Karnataka who are eager to gain real-world experience by working directly with KrishiKalpa and startups from its incubation ecosystem.

This is not a traditional classroom internship — it is an opportunity to work on real business problems, startup projects, customers, and field challenges across agriculture, rural development, and entrepreneurship. Interns will get exposure to how startups are built and operated, work closely with entrepreneurs and mentors, contribute to meaningful projects in areas like business, marketing, technology, agriculture, finance, and research, and develop practical professional skills while building their network in the startup ecosystem.

We welcome applications from students across all disciplines including engineering, agriculture, commerce, management, IT, design, media, social sciences, and more. Prior startup experience is not required — what matters most is curiosity, willingness to learn, and the ability to take ownership. Depending on your interests and skills, you may be matched with KrishiKalpa Foundation or one of our incubated startups, and work on project-based internships ranging from 12 weeks to semester-long engagements.

If you are interested in learning by doing and contributing to real impact in Kalyana Karnataka, apply today.
