Ans: The Growup Internpreneur Program is a rigorous internship program. We expect the intern
to give a minimum of 5 hours a day to this internship. In order to make sure that the internship
productivity is not compromised, we do not allow the candidates to do a

parallel internship with any other company in the same/different domain in the entire 3 months
tenure.
Also, it will be equally difficult for the candidate to justify the overlapping internships in their
future corporate journeys. Hence, the Exclusivity Clause in the internship agreement.
