Valentine's Day Themed Internship Pitch To Zomato From Engineering Student Goes Viral On LinkedIn

Engineering student Dikshita Basu put her unique pitch forward on LinkedIn. The 'valentine's day proposal' was for Zomato to hire her as an intern.

New Delhi: Dikshita Basu, an engineering student from Sathyabama University, wanted to bag an internship with Zomato. To get noticed by the company, she creatively used Valentine's Day as a way to get her an internship offer.

Basu designed a unique pitch for Zomato, themed around Valentine's Day. Instead of sharing her strengths and accomplishments, the Tamil Nadu native created a 14-page long application that reflected ideas to improve the Zomato experience.

Sharing this on her LinkedIn account, Basu wrote: "This Valentine's Day I want to ask Zomato out, for an Internship. So, to apply... I thought to curate something that is worthwhile."

She also tagged Zomato Founder Deepinder Goyal, Zomato's CEO of Food Delivery Rahul Ganjoo, and Zomato Design Lead Vijay Verma in her post.

The suggestions which reflected how Zomato can improve their app were accompanied by adorable illustrations. She suggested problems with the Zomato app and ways to solve them. For e.g. The company can consider re-positioning the "Drafts" folder or improving user flow while uploading pictures.

She also suggested that a new feature can be added, Basu called this feature 'Zomato Zing'. She suggested that 15-second videos can be played and if they catch the users' attention, they can use them to order food or book a table.
