Hellointern.com has been launched to create a portal which serves as a complete platform for students to look for internships in their respective fields along with jobs in startups in India.

The portal HelloIntern has simple yet effective interface, relevant and sufficient information needed to any user looking for internship/ job in relevant industry. User can search job/ internship positions by type, by region or by company.

Hellointern.com was started in August 2006 by four undergraduate students of IIT Bombay. The idea was conceived out of the own bitter experiences of the founders when they were in pursuit of grabbing internship opportunities for themselves as students. They found that getting a good opportunity was, in most cases, mainly pivotal on the one single question: “Do you have a JUGAAD (wiki) in the company you are going to apply for?”

In a mail sent to Indianweb2 by Snehl Nimje, he describe - HellloIntern identify its key potential success factors as:
Valuing the Student’s merit: To help the deserving students grab the best available internships and projects, ofcourse, without them needing to know an Uncle or Cousin who works with a recruiter.

Simple & Cost-effective recruitment: To help recruiters gain easy access to the vast and enriched talent pool at an affordable cost.

As a token of recognition, the portal was bestowed the honor of “Best Student Enterprise of the Year - 2007″ by Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, NITIE - Mumbai and also winner of IDEAZ 2008 (The Pan IIT Business Idea Challenge organized by E-Cell IIT Bombay).
