About Us
Vara5 is a luxury travel startup building India’s first integrated luxury travel ecosystem for the global Indian. Our model brings together high-touch advisory, advanced trip-planning technology, and deep category strength across hotels, cruises, aviation, and destination specialists, delivered to clients who expect nothing less than exceptional.
We’re in the early build, which is genuinely the most interesting moment to join. The learning curve is exponential, the surface area is wide, and the work you do now actually shapes what the company becomes.
The Role
The Summer Intern at Vara5 sits with the Founder’s Office Team at the operational core of the business, inside the workstreams that drive strategy, growth, and execution across every function. This is a 2- 3 month programme built for someone who learns by doing: you will contribute to real decisions, produce work that ships, and leave with a far clearer picture of how a company like ours actually gets built.
The work is varied, fast-paced, and consequential. You will move across research, strategy, brand, operations, and partnerships depending on where you are most needed.
What You’ll Own
Research & Intelligence
- Conduct research on markets, competitors, global travel trends, and emerging technologies to inform leadership decisions.
- Build structured outputs from research: summaries, landscape maps, and benchmarks that go directly into strategy discussions.
Strategy & Execution
- Support the Founder’s Office Team across strategic, analytical, and creative workstreams spanning product, operations, brand, and partnerships.
- Contribute to internal plans, strategy documents, and presentations used by the leadership team.
- Assist with day-to-day execution across marketing, partnerships, and sales enablement.
Projects & Communication
- Participate in internal and external stakeholder discussions, offering structured notes and clear follow-through on next steps.
- Help shape workflows and bring organisation to fast-moving, zero-to-one projects that require building from scratch.
Who We’re Looking For
- You think in first principles. When you encounter a problem you do not immediately know the answer to, your instinct is to break it down, not wait for someone to hand you the structure.
- You write clearly and communicate with precision, whether in a document, a message, or a room full of people.
- You are genuinely curious about technology, AI, startups, and what it takes to build a luxury brand from scratch.
- You take ownership seriously. You follow through on what you have committed to, without needing to be chased.
- You are comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the brief can shift and the output is still expected on time.
- You have a sharp eye for detail: in research, in writing, and in how you handle and present information.
- Prior exposure to startups, consulting, strategy, operations, or research through internships, university projects, or personal work is a plus, not a requirement.
Why this is worth your time?
- You will work from the inside of a company redefining luxury travel for India, not on the periphery, but in the workstreams that actually move the business.
- You will build across functions in a way that most internships do not allow: research one week, a go-to-market plan the next, a partnership brief the week after.
- High-performing interns will be considered for extended and full-time roles as the company grows.
- We are looking for the best, so we pay for the best. Compensation is not a fixed number on a job board; it is calibrated to what you are actually worth.
So, if you want to do the best work of your life and have the best time doing it, apply now!
