Job Description

Internship: Research Intern (Market & Content Research)
Company/Team: New projects, early stage.
We're assembling the core group and the systems underneath it--before we scale execution.
Location: Baner, Pune
Work mode: On-site (no remote)
Duration: 3-6 months
Stipend: ₹10,000-?12,000/month
Seats: 2-3
- This is a full on-site role based in Baner, Pune. Please apply only if you can work from our office.
- This internship is built for a specific kind of researcher. Not the "collect links and forward them" kind.
- The kind who can turn messy information into structured, reviewable research--clean enough to drive publishing and decisions.
- We're opening 2-3 seats. You don't need experience with our exact workflows. You do need rigor, structure, and consistent output.
- If you take pride in clarity, evidence, and clean handoffs, keep reading.
What you'll work on
This role is output-heavy. You'll be judged on the quality of what you produce.
1) Competitive / landscape research (for content + projects)
Identify relevant players: creators, brands, products, communities
Map who covers what: topics, positioning language, formats, and audience
2) Audience research inputs (voice-of-customer)
Collect recurring questions, pain points, and misconceptions from real conversations
Capture verbatim phrasing and organize it into usable buckets
3) Source packs + citation library (core production)
Pull sources from books, papers, high-quality blogs, talks, case studies, videos, and courses
Produce short source packs (key points + references)
Maintain a citation library (links, notes, tags)
4) Content pattern research (teardowns)
Break down strong content into components (structure and proof patterns)
Build teardown packs the team can review and reuse
5) AI in your field + AI for research
Research how AI is changing workflows in the field(s) we operate in
Research AI tools for research itself, and document practical takeaways
6) Research methodologies
Learn and apply basic research methods: source quality, claim-tracing, note structures
Keep output consistent, reviewable, and easy to reuse
What we care about
We care about research that's usable. Not impressive-looking. Not vague. Usable.
Structure. Clean docs, clean naming, clean organization.
Evidence discipline. Claims are traceable. Uncertainty is flagged.
Precision. Accuracy and wording matter.
Signal detection. You can separate what matters from recycled noise.
Consistency. You show up with clean work, week after week.
Ownership. You move without being chased. This role is not designed for hand-holding.
Low ego, high standards. No drama, no performative cleverness--just clean work.
Requirements
Student or recent graduate in Business / Management / Marketing
Interest in research, reading, and information collection
Willingness to learn new research and AI-based tools
Comfortable doing repetitive research work with consistent quality
Can handle direct feedback and iteration without getting precious
