A company based in Infopark, Kakkanad, Kochi, is offering a paid on-site Junior Supply Chain IT Analyst internship with a stipend of up to ₹15,000 per month. No prior professional experience is required. The role sits at the intersection of supply chain operations and the systems that run them, so it suits someone who's curious about both sides rather than purely a systems person or purely a logistics person. Interns work alongside a small analyst team that supports the company's own internal supply chain, not an external client, so the work touches real inventory and order data from day one.
A bachelor's degree is the baseline qualification, and candidates coming out of a computer science or IT program, or something adjacent, tend to find the systems side of the role easier to pick up. Since this is an entry-level internship, no prior work experience is expected, though any hands-on exposure to the actual tools used in supply chain systems work will be a genuine advantage over someone coming in with only classroom knowledge. A student who's worked through a database or systems course with real assignments tends to adapt faster than one who's only covered the theory in lectures.
The internship centers on a specific set of skills:
- Supply chain systems, getting familiar with how orders, inventory, and shipments actually move through a company's software
- SQL, for pulling and checking data that feeds into supply chain reporting and decisions
- Process analysis, looking at how a workflow currently runs and spotting where it breaks down or slows down
- Requirements gathering, translating what an operations team actually needs into something a systems team can build against
These four skills sound abstract in isolation, but they come together constantly in the actual work, since a data question almost always becomes a process question, then a requirements question, before it's fully resolved.
Day to day, the intern helps configure and test new features within the company's supply chain systems based on what internal stakeholders have requested, works through data or system issues that show up during testing, and writes clear notes on what was done and why so the next person looking at the same issue isn't starting from scratch. Reviewing requirements documents and specifications with the wider team is part of the role, too, catching gaps or unclear points before they lead to a system built the wrong way. Over time, the intern starts contributing directly to gathering requirements from operations staff, rather than only implementing what's already been decided. A typical week might mean pulling a query to check why an inventory count looks off in one warehouse location, then writing up what actually caused the mismatch once it's found.
None of the following are required going in, but they'll make an application stand out. Familiarity with a major ERP platform, whether that's SAP, Oracle SCM, or Microsoft Dynamics, counts for a lot, since most of the systems work here happens inside one of these. Comfort in Excel for quick data checks and reporting is genuinely useful day-to-day. Some grounding in core supply chain concepts, like inventory management, procurement, or logistics, helps the analyst side of the role make more sense faster. Exposure to a reporting tool like Power BI or Tableau is a plus as well, and anyone who's started looking into a supply chain credential, even informally, brings a useful head start. Basic scripting ability in Python or similar is worth mentioning too, since a good amount of routine data cleanup here is still done manually, and there's room to automate more of it.
The internship benefits include:
- A monthly stipend
- Mentorship from senior team members who review the intern's work directly
- A certificate of completion at the end of the term
- Strong potential for a full-time offer for interns who perform well
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Kochi from elsewhere
- Accommodation support during the initial transition
The relocation and accommodation pieces tend to matter most, since a fair number of interns applying to a Kochi-based tech hub like this one are coming in from elsewhere in Kerala or from neighboring states.
Infopark in Kakkanad has become one of the more concentrated IT hubs in Kochi, and Naukri Mitra regularly lists supply chain IT analyst jobs in Kochi from companies based in this area. The stipend on this listing sits close to what's typical for a supply chain IT analyst internship in Kochi for students, and pay tracks reasonably well against what's generally reported for supply chain IT analyst salary in Kochi once someone moves past the internship stage into a full-time role. Students studying elsewhere in Kerala will find Kakkanad well connected by road and rail, which makes the daily commute manageable even without relocating right away.
The team running this internship keeps a fairly steady rhythm, with most work tied to specific projects rather than open-ended firefighting. New interns typically spend their first couple of weeks learning the current systems setup before being handed a smaller piece of an active project. Deadlines around a system change or a data migration can get intense for a stretch, and the team is upfront about that rather than glossing over it, but those stretches are the exception rather than the everyday pace. Most interns come out the other side able to hold a real conversation with both the systems team and the operations side of the business, which is precisely the mix this role is meant to build.
To apply, send a resume along with a short note on any coursework, projects, or part-time work involving data analysis or systems thinking, even if it wasn't specific to supply chain. The process includes a conversation about a sample data or process problem, followed by a discussion with the hiring manager about internship timing and availability. Most candidates hear back within a week or so of the final conversation, and the hiring manager tries to be clear early on about which team the intern would actually sit with, since that shapes much of what the day-to-day looks like.
