About Athlamour®
Athlamour is a premium women's athleisure brand under UF Academy & Studios, designed in Europe and built for the affluent urban Indian woman. We're not selling fitness — we're designing identity. Athlamour will make its flagship public debut at Bangalore Fashion Week in October 2026.
This is a rare seat at the table during a brand's actual launch — not a simulation.
The Role
You'll work directly with the founder across brand, product, and launch operations — real decisions, real deadlines, real stakes. Expect to move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution in the same week. This isn't a coffee-run internship; it's a builder's internship.
What You'll Do
- Founding cohort management — coordinate FirstWomen™ touchpoints (feedback sessions, notes, synthesis)
- Digital storefront QA — review the Shopify prototype build against brand and product standards
- Competitive intelligence — track how Blissclub, Cava, and Lululemon India are moving, and flag what matters
- Fashion Week execution support — sampling, logistics, vendor follow-ups, asset tracking for the BFW launch
- Brand-standard support — assist with deck updates and content under direct guidance, always matching Athlamour's luxury register
Who You Are
- Currently enrolled at or a recent graduate of a top-tier institute (NIFT, IIM/ISB, or strong liberal arts/design program)
- Excellent written English and an instinct for tone — you can tell "premium" from "trying too hard"
- Organized, low-ego, comfortable with ambiguity and fast turnarounds
- Genuinely interested in luxury branding, D2C, or fashion business — not just a resume line
What You'll Get
- Direct, close-quarters exposure to building a luxury brand from the ground up through public launch
- Ownership of real workstreams with visible outcomes at Bangalore Fashion Week
- Mentorship from the founder across brand strategy, product, and go-to-market
- A letter of recommendation and reference on completion
Terms
- This is an unpaid internship, structured as an academic/project-based placement; reasonable local travel and meal expenses incurred in the course of work will be reimbursed
- An NDA is mandatory prior to onboarding, given access to unreleased brand strategy and product information
- No external communications (partners, suppliers, press) without prior review and sign-off
Above all, your energy counts. We hire SWANS - Smart, Work Hard, Ambitious, and Nice.
