Retail Operations Intern at Reliance Retail

Reliance Retail is hiring a Retail Operations Intern in Mumbai. Reliance Retail is India’s largest retailer, operating Trends, Ajio and Reliance Brands, and this internship puts you inside a working fashion and apparel team — not on the sidelines of one. India's fashion and lifestyle economy is one of the country's largest employers, and the people who do well in it learn the craft on live product rather than in a classroom. As a Retail Operations Intern at Reliance Retail Mumbai, you will be given a scoped, real piece of work with a named mentor, a review cadence, and a deliverable that ships. What you will do: • Own a defined slice of day-to-day operations work on live Reliance Retail ranges and projects in Mumbai. • Apply Retail Operations, Store SOPs, Inventory Management, POS Systems to real briefs, with feedback from people who do this professionally. • Build and maintain the trackers, specs and documentation the team runs on, and keep them accurate. • Work across functions — design, merchandising, sourcing, quality, marketing and retail all sit close together here. • Research the market, competitors and customers, and present what you find in a way the team can act on. • Follow the quality, compliance and brand standards Reliance Retail holds its products to. Who should apply: • Students and recent graduates from fashion, design, textile, gemology, engineering, commerce, management or communication backgrounds — degree stream matters less than genuine interest. • Working familiarity with Retail Operations, Store SOPs, Inventory Management. Exposure to Customer Service, MS Excel, Shrinkage Control is a plus, not a requirement. • A real interest in the fashion and apparel business and how a product goes from idea to customer. • Clear written and spoken communication, and the discipline to document your own work. • Attention to detail. In this industry a 2 mm error or a wrong colour code is a costly one.
