Attracting and retaining top talent is one of the biggest challenges for any startup. Many skilled interns already have multiple campus offers or are still in their 2nd or 3rd year of studies. To hire candidates with comparable skills, a startup would typically need to offer a salary of around ₹50,000 per month — a significant expense with no assurance that top candidates will accept the offer.

This level of financial commitment can be overwhelming, especially considering that over 90% of startups struggle to sustain themselves within the first five years. Only one in ten startups survives beyond that period due to team, product, or resource challenges.

Why Startups Fail

  • Running out of funds or failing to secure additional capital
  • Building the wrong team or lacking technical depth
  • Absence of passion, accountability, and leadership focus
  • Poor product development and market misalignment
  • Ineffective business execution and scalability challenges

While no one can guarantee success, JALA Academy helps startups stay competitive by addressing one of their biggest pain points — the cost of hiring and retaining skilled technologists. Startups can leverage our structured internship model to build capability affordably.

Startup Growth

JALA Academy provides free training and internship opportunities to thousands of college students across India. Your startup can collaborate with these trained interns for just ₹5,000 per month, reducing hiring costs drastically while accessing high-quality, technically skilled talent.

The savings allow startups to redirect funds toward innovation, marketing, and growth rather than payroll. Each intern undergoes hands-on training in key industry technologies before being onboarded.

Benefits of Offering Internships

By hiring trained interns from JALA Academy, startups can save approximately 80% on wages per intern per month while building a skilled workforce ready to contribute immediately.

Internship Conditions

  1. The duration of the internship is 90 days or until the intern secures a full-time job opportunity, whichever is earlier.
  2. The stipend is fixed at ₹5,000 per month. This ensures fairness and prevents competition among startups while providing interns meaningful, real-world experience.
  3. Interns aspire to secure a minimum annual package of ₹4.5 LPA. Support their career growth while they continue to receive training from JALA Academy in parallel with their internship.
  4. Interns should dedicate approximately 60% of their time to your organization’s projects and 40% to learning emerging technologies. Treat them as partners in innovation.
  5. Prioritize technology-driven exposure over tool-based assignments. Encourage mentorship through junior staff or outgoing interns to maintain a continuous learning chain.
  6. Assign interns meaningful, impactful projects that contribute directly to business objectives. This maximizes motivation and uncovers their potential.
  7. Interns will continue attending interviews with MNCs. Provide leave when necessary; replacements will be facilitated by JALA Academy if an intern moves on.
  8. Be flexible with working hours as interns manage academic commitments. Focus on results and mentorship rather than rigid schedules.
  9. JALA Academy conducts regular feedback surveys to improve onboarding and internship experience for startups and interns.
  10. Interns may discontinue their internship for reasons such as:
    1. Securing a full-time external opportunity
    2. Lack of technical or career-relevant work
    3. Unprofessional workplace culture or lack of respect
    4. Unclear direction or guidance at work
    5. Reassignment by JALA Academy for a role better aligned with their career goals
