Remote Internship – India team

About Explera DMC

Explera DMC is a premier Destination Management Company dedicated to delivering exceptional travel and event experiences worldwide. We operate with a global mindset while maintaining rigorous compliance standards, with all legal and statutory frameworks governed and fulfilled through our Hong Kong headquarters.

Role overview

We are seeking motivated interns to join Explera India remotely with our India team, from anywhere in the world, for 1 to 6 months. Interns join a real team and work on live bookings, not side projects, with a named mentor and a weekly check-in.

Anyone, from any country, can apply. You work remotely in the India team's time zone (office hours 09:00–18:00 IST), overlapping at least 4 hours a day, and you use your own laptop and internet connection.

The internship suits students and recent graduates who want hands-on experience of how a B2B destination management company plans, sells and delivers trips. We shape the rotation around your studies and interests.

3. Marketing & content

Requirements

• Current student or recent graduate, ideally in tourism, hospitality, business, marketing or languages
• Good written and spoken English
• Hindi or Gujarati is a plus
• Comfortable with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office
• Your own laptop, a reliable internet connection and a quiet place for video calls; you can be based in any country

What we offer and what we don't

What we don't offer: This is an unpaid internship: there is no stipend, allowance, salary or reimbursement of any kind. Explera does not provide accommodation, travel, visa sponsorship, insurance, meals or equipment. Remote interns use their own laptop and internet connection.

Applicants are responsible for complying with local law and visa rules for on-site internships. Explera may decline an application where on-site participation is not permitted.

Internship rules and regulations

Every intern agrees to these rules before starting:

1. Duration: between 1 and 6 months, agreed in your internship offer. Any extension is agreed in writing.
2. Working days and hours: set by the host office in its local time (09:00–18:00 IST) and agreed at offer. Remote interns overlap at least 4 hours a day with their team's office hours; exact times are agreed at offer.
3. Attendance and punctuality: be available and on time for your agreed hours, meetings and calls, and record your attendance as asked.
4. Reporting: report daily or weekly to your mentor, as agreed, on what you did, what you learned and where you need help.

8. Leave and absence: tell your mentor in advance about planned absences such as exams or holidays, and as early as possible on the day if you are unwell.
9. University requirements: if your university needs a letter, an agreement or credit forms, send them to HR before you start so they can be completed on time.
10. Early termination: either side may end the internship early with written notice, or immediately for a serious breach of these rules.
11. Minimum commitment: at least 20 hours a week across your agreed days, unless a different plan is agreed in writing for exams or university requirements.
