Fashion Merchandising Intern at Nykaa Fashion
Nykaa Fashion is hiring a Fashion Merchandising Intern in Gurugram. Nykaa Fashion is fashion arm of the beauty and lifestyle retailer Nykaa, 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 Fashion Merchandising Intern at Nykaa Fashion Gurugram, 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 Nykaa Fashion ranges and projects in Gurugram. • Apply Merchandising, Range Planning, Costing, MS Excel 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 Nykaa Fashion 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 Merchandising, Range Planning, Costing. Exposure to Vendor Coordination, Order Follow-up, Tech Packs 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. What you get: • A monthly stipend of ₹23,000. • A 2-month structured internship in Gurugram with a defined mentor and a written review. • A certificate of completion and, for strong performers, a letter of recommendation. • Portfolio-grade work you can actually show — real briefs, real constraints, real outcomes. • Consideration for a pre-placement offer where a full-time opening exists.
