Merchandiser/Retail Fashion Buyer Internship

After proving first demand for their products, they are now ready to formalise their business processes and scale up their production. In order to do so, they are looking for a skilled volunteer intern who can support them with market trend analysis, inventory management, and identifying additional sales channels.
In addition to building the groundwork for the business side of things, you also have the chance to directly interact with local artisans and learn about their work and art. f you have been looking to expand your horizons and apply your skills in a meaningful way, then this is your opportunity.

This is the perfect internship for any retail fashion student looking to gain hands-on experience, practicing their problem-solving and creative thinking skills, as well as finding inspiration in traditional and modern Indian design. As a volunteer merchandiser you'll get unique insights into how a sustainable fashion business is run, and you can use and apply your skills to make an impact.
