As a part of this six-week program, student participants will be assigned variety of tasks that would enhance their skills. Paytm Mall leadership will also mentor students on critical real-world techniques related to product, marketing, design among others via seminars and training material. Top performers of the programme would be awarded internships and full-time job offers as they get an opportunity to work closely with the Paytm Mall core team revolutionizing the face of mobile commerce in India.

Given that mobile technology is poised to transform lives in semi-urban and rural India, Paytm Mall would also facilitate technology adoption in these areas as a part of this programme, enabling students to buy laptops at discounted prices. They can also recommend laptops and other educational products to their peers to earn added incentives as they develop their skills.
