FlentX

Hey! I’m Shail - one of the co-founders @ Flent.

I did six internships during college. Not because I wanted a fancy resume, but because I was curious about how startups actually work. None of those internships made me a “specialist” in anything. But together, they gave me something more valuable: a worldview of how businesses are built — how they start, grow, hire, and execute. (Also, I discovered that office parties are where you secretly learn the most about company building.)

Most people think of internships as a way to learn one skill, work on one project, and add one line to their resume. We think that’s limiting.

And that’s the spirit behind FlentX. Think of it less like an internship and more like an apprenticeship — a way to actually live inside how a company runs. Startups don’t succeed because one person is great at one tool. They succeed because a bunch of ambitious, slightly restless people figure out how product, growth, ops, brand, and customer experience all click together.

If you get into FlentX, you’ll be the ONLY intern in the ENTIRE function (we have seven core functions). You won’t be parked on side projects. You’ll be thrown straight into the team’s P0s, working in the same chaos and urgency as the rest of us.

The goal isn’t to leave with one polished technical skill. It’s to leave with sharper instincts, a broader perspective, and the confidence that comes from having lived the startup journey up close.

If you see yourself running your own thing one day — or just want to know what the ride actually feels like — FlentX is a pretty good place to start.

• One intern, one function. We only take one intern per function at a time. That means you get focus, accountability, and a clear seat at the table.

• No side projects. You’ll be plugged into the team’s real priorities - the P0s that directly impact growth - not given parallel “intern tasks.”

• Breadth within your function. Instead of repeating one task, you’ll move across different problem statements, seeing how multiple levers within a function come together.

• Startup reality. The work isn’t predictable or neatly packaged. Priorities will change, problems will surprise you, and that’s exactly where the learning happens.

• Join a Core Function
  FlentX runs across seven core teams — Demand Growth, Supply Growth, Tech & Platform, Marketing & Brand, Customer Experience, Product Operations, and Logistics & Warehouse. You can share your preference in the application form, but the final call on where you fit best will be ours. Each function takes only one intern at a time, so when you’re in, it’s your spot.

• Duration
  The program typically runs for 3–6 months. It’s long enough for you to contribute meaningfully, see projects through, and get a real sense of how the business works.

• Rolling Openings
  FlentX runs year-round. New spots open whenever a team has space, so keep an eye out.

• Application Process
  Start with a short form about your background and curiosity. If shortlisted, you’ll have a casual chat with the functional lead to understand how you think and solve problems. Sometimes we may throw in a mini-challenge to see you in action.

• Timeline
  We like to keep things fast. From application to decision, the process usually wraps in 10–14 days.

• Stipend
  A monthly stipend of ₹30,000.

• Fast-track to full-time
  High-impact interns unlock a direct interview with the founders for full-time roles.

• Facetime with founders
  Regular brainstorms & 1-1s that can change the game.

• Live the Flent experience
  Stay 15 days in a Flent home, on us.

• F&B Vouchers
  Vouchers worth INR 5000 so that you don’t think twice about going out & exploring Bangalore’s nightlife.

• Team socials
  We work hard, we party harder.

• Personal shoutout
  Recommendation letters from founders when you make your mark.

At FlentX, we look for raw traits over polished resumes.

• You take ownership. If something’s broken, you don’t wait — you fix it.

• You move fast. Trying and failing beats sitting and planning.

• You’re fine with chaos. Startups aren’t neat. You’d rather dive in than wait for order.

• You hustle. ChatGPT + common sense + persistence is your toolkit.

• You care about building. Titles and certificates don’t excite you — impact does.
  

We don’t care if you’re 19 or 59, from IIT or no degree at all. If you’ve got curiosity and drive, you’ll fit right in. Just ask Robert De Niro :)
