PS – I had written the post below before the sad news of passing away of Delhi rape victim came in and as a resident of Delhi-NCR myself I feel both ashamed and scared and its difficult to be in a celebration mood. To the victim and her family – We are sorry!<\/em> As a mark of respect, the celebration image associated with the post has now been removed.<\/p>\n

Today, Internshala turns 2. For those interested in trivia, 2 years ago on 29th December 2010, we registered the domain www.internshala.com and the landing page went up. This<\/a> is how it looked on the day of launch.<\/p>\n

Since then, it has been a dream run. One just has to read the student and employer testimonials sprinkled around the website to get a sense of impact Internshala has made and the lives we have touched.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I just looked up, in first month of website launch we recorded 386 visits; today 24 months later, we get about 150,000+ a month. It took us about 2 months to get the first employer to list an internship ; today we post 200+ internships every month. Internshala facebook page, non existent back then, has become India’s largest facebook page on internships with 30,000+ fans. And we continue to be financially viable business despite the core service remaining free of cost for students and employers.<\/p>\n

Your Internship Story, Internfair, Internconnect, InternSaturday; all being first of their kinds initiative, continue to remain corner stones of Internshala journey towards bringing a culture of meaningful <\/em>internships!<\/p>\n

And how was this all made possible? For one, we have stayed really focused on internships and haven’t allowed other opportunities to distract us; and for two, I have had the fortune of having some of the smartest, passionate and dedicated people in the team, most of them intern themselves, who have ALWAYS delivered. I wonder how many CEOs in the world can say this about their team?<\/p>\n

The year 2 celebrations, this post, and this video are dedicated to Internshala team – thank you guys! Its been an honor.<\/p>\n

PS – I apologize for the poor quality of the video; apparently you can NOT learn video making in 48 hours :(<\/p>\n
