What if we tell you that now you can apply for an internship that offers about Rs 2 lakh a month? Sounds bizarre, right? But that's what an Indian CEO is looking for; even school students can apply for the opportunity. Siddharth Bhatia, the co-founder and CEO of Puch AI, shared a post on his X (formerly called Twitter), advertising a lucrative internship offer where the selected candidate has a chance to earn a whopping stipend of Rs 2 lakh per month, and that too working from home. But is it real? Let's find out.
Work From Home internship offer with an Rs 2 lakh stipend—what's that?
On Wednesday, the CEO of AI Puch, a startup company that is focused on democratising Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India, revealed that his company is looking for two interns:
One to work as an AI engineer
Other to manage growth as the 'Growth Magician'
Not only this, but the internship is a remote job, and its stipend could range between Rs 1 and 2 lakh per month. Hence, the successful candidate does need to show up in the office.
How to apply?
According to the CEO, anyone who is interested in the post can directly apply by commenting on the post's comment section. Here's the post mentioned below:

Netizens react to the viral internship worth Rs 2 lakh post on X
As soon as the post surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed the attention of netizens, who shared mixed reactions to the post and commented about their overall experience.
