Why Earth5R

What Makes This Different

You will not be filing reports or shadowing. Every Earth5R sustainability internship puts you directly on the systems that power climate action at national scale - with mentorship from the leadership team, from wherever you are.

Real Datasets

Work with primary climate and sustainability data collected across India. Your output feeds directly into active programmes.

AI-Powered Tools

Use AI for research automation, data sorting, trend analysis, and building structured knowledge resources that scale the team's output.

Leadership Mentorship

Direct access to the founding and leadership team. You are not managed by other interns - you work alongside the people building the platform.

Remote-First

Most positions are work-from-home - contribute from anywhere in India - plus one in-office role at our Mumbai office for those who want to be on the ground.

The Organisation

About Earth5R

Earth5R is a climate infrastructure platform building the Forensic Sustainability Operating System (SaaS-X) - the verifiable execution layer for the $3 trillion climate economy, powering its ESG intelligence platform. The platform operates internationally with 2.5 million citizens and 1.2 million farmers. A sustainability internship here plugs directly into that platform.

The organisation has been recognised among the Top 10 Global Sustainability Innovators by Google, honoured as a Green Citizen initiative by UNESCO, and maintains strategic partnerships with MIT, NYU, OECD, Amul, and Indian Overseas Bank.

Founder Saurabh Gupta has been recognised by French President Emmanuel Macron as a Young Leader under the India–France programme.

What this means for interns: You will not be working at a startup trying to find product-market fit. You will be working inside a platform that already operates at scale, is recognised globally, and is now accelerating. See the kind of work interns support across Earth5R's CSR and ESG projects. Your work has context, audience, and consequence from day one.
