Indeed, we maintain, right below our office at Paldi, central Ahmedabad, a functionally equipped and furnished flat-turned-hostel for interns coming to us from around the world intermittently.
Internship duration may range from 6-52 weeks. Preference will be given to long-term seekers, and those who can start the soonest.
