Mumbai Company Offers Internship For Rs 10/Month, Internet Says "Isse Accha Vishal Mega Mart..."
In 2025, the hustle culture has normalised extremely low-paying internships, often bordering on free labour. Recently, Falcon Labs, a Mumbai-based company, advertised a backend developer internship for a monthly stipend of just Rs 10. The internship listing, which was shared on social media, sparked widespread criticism and amusement. What's surprising is that over 1,900 people applied for the role, which requires skills in backend development, architecture, artificial intelligence, DevOps, machine learning, and more. The position demands a degree in Computer Science and has no fixed working hours, adding to the controversy surrounding the low pay. The listing was shared on X by user Aditya Jha with the caption, "Internship opportunity." See the tweet here: INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY — Aditya Jha (@adxtya_jha) May 19, 2025 Internet users were quick to mock the offer, with some joking that the stipend would barely cover a plate of momos. Others sarcastically remarked, "Kya kijiyega itni dhan rashi ka?" highlighting the absurdity of the situation. One user commented, "Issse Accha Mein Vishal Mega Mart mein Internship karloon," referring to the recent meme trend. Another joked, "They are making sure it's not an unpaid one." A third said, "Good idea to check if the Intern has to pay this amount to the company." Some people are speculating that the Rs 10 stipend might be a typo, with the developer possibly missing a "k" to make it Rs 10,000. A fourth stated, "developer was in a rush, maybe that he/she missed the 'k' in it." Yet another added, "Instead of quoting low price, they should simply keep it for free and tell us ga reat opportunity for learning."

‘Kya kijiyega itni dhan rashi ka': Mumbai company offers internship for Rs 10/month; netizens say ‘momos sorted'
There was a time when internships came with learning, mentorship, and sometimes a decent stipend to keep your daily caffeine fix going. But in 2025, the hustle has hit new levels — from unpaid internships masked as 'golden opportunities' to stipends that barely cover a packet of Maggi, the bar keeps getting lower. The latest to join the bandwagon is a Mumbai-based company that has come up with an internship for a monthly stipend of Rs 10, leaving the netizens startled. The firm, Falcon Labs, has announced the Rs 10-stipend for the role of 'Backend Developer Intern' that has only one opening and is open to freshers. But the eligibility criteria stipulates a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, and 'no fixed working hours'. The skillset includes backend development, architecture, artificial intelligence, DevOps, machine learning, JavaScript, MongoDB, management, and, ironically, internship. But what has left the internet stunned was the number of applicants—over 1,900 people reportedly applied for this Rs 10 opportunity.
