‘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. INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY — Aditya Jha (@adxtya_jha) May 19, 2025 On X, user Aditya Jha posted a screenshot of the listing with a cheeky caption: 'Internship opportunity,' sparking many reactions.

'Still better than Google Pay cashbacks,' one user joked. Another added, 'Isse accha mein Vishal Mega Mart mein internship karloon,' referencing the latest meme trend.
