Growth & Operations Intern - Travel Startup

About the Company

We are a bootstrapped travel startup operating discreetly, creating tailored travel experiences specifically for individuals aged 50 and above. We believe that the prime years for exploration do not cease after retirement and that travel should become increasingly accessible, comfortable, and meaningful as one ages. While India's population aged 50+ is expanding swiftly, travel options remain predominantly targeted at younger demographics. We see this as an exciting and largely untapped market poised for growth over the next decade. The founder brings over ten years of experience in building and scaling startups from the ground up in healthcare and consumer sectors, including multiple venture studio-led initiatives.
