Data Operations Internship
Material Depot in Bangalore is hiring one Data Operations Intern to keep its interior-materials product catalogue accurate and complete. The stipend is ₹20,000 to ₹25,000 a month, which is above typical for internships in the same field across India.
What the work involves
The job is catalogue upkeep for tiles, laminates, panels, flooring and wallpapers, split across data entry, quality control and coordination.
- Listings: gather details from vendor catalogues, spreadsheets and internal systems, then create and update listings with titles, descriptions, specifications, prices and images. You check attributes such as size, finish, material, colour, brand, product code and application area, and keep naming and category rules consistent.
- Quality checks: tidy data for bulk uploads, spot duplicates, gaps, mixed formats and wrong categories, and compare images, dimensions and codes with what vendors supplied. Listings get a final read for accuracy, grammar and formatting before they go live.
- Coordination and tracking: ask vendors for missing specifications, prices, catalogues and images, and chase corrections. You work with the category, design, operations and technology teams on onboarding, keep trackers in Google Sheets and Excel using formulas, lookups, pivot tables and validation checks, help with SQL-based checks and reporting depending on your skill, and suggest improvements to upload templates and repetitive steps.

- Write a few sample product listings with a clear title, specifications and consistent naming, and proofread them as if they were going live.
- Draft a short, polite follow-up message asking a vendor for missing details. Written clarity matters in this role.
