Tail the CXO Fellowship

Location:

Type:

Most internships give you a desk. This one gives you a seat at the table. For the bold, it’s your chance to see what startup life really takes.

a high-intensity, high-impact internship for ambitious students

This isn’t about making coffee runs or shadowing quietly. You’ll be inside the room where decisions happen, and you’ll help shape them.

What you’ll do:

- Sit in on strategy sessions, product debates, customer calls, and investor meetings.

- Pick a real problem (Product, GTM, AI Research, Ops, etc.) and own it.

- Work side-by-side with the CEO and CXO team.

- Demo what you built, solved, or improved at the end.

Who we’re looking for:

- Students (undergrad/grad) who are obsessed with startups and building things.

- Self-starters who thrive in ambiguity and take ownership.

- Strong communicators, quick learners, and critical thinkers.

- Open to any background—engineering, business, design, policy. We believe in mindset > major.

Note: If you are a first-generation graduate or from a minority community, we're extra excited to work with you.

Why join?

- Front-row seat to startup building. You get to execute your vision.

- Mentorship from founders and CXOs, not mid-level managers.

- Tangible ownership over work that actually matters.

- A network for life; with us, and with everyone in our network as well.

Programme details:

- Location: In-person, Chennai (remote only as a privilege, not the default)

- Duration: 6–12 weeks

- Commitment: Full-time preferred (part-time may be considered)

- Compensation: Stipend + performance-based bonus opportunities

- Start Date: Rolling admissions

How to apply:

A one-page writeup on why you want to join (raw thoughts matter more than polished English), or a short video on why this excites you.

DM me or email me your submission. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We’re keeping this programme small and high-quality, so apply early.
