Deconstruct revives viral Rs 1 lakh skincare internship for season two
BENGALURU: Bengaluru-based skincare brand Deconstruct has brought back its viral skincare internship for a second season, betting once again on cash, clout and content to demystify daily skincare. Open to anyone over 18 with no prior skincare experience, the 30-day, remote programme will select six interns, each paid a stipend of Rs 1 lakh. Interns will receive personalised routines, product kits, coaching support and sessions with dermatologists, while documenting their skincare journeys online.
In a push to challenge gender stereotypes, 50 per cent of the slots are reserved for men. Applications are open exclusively on Unstop, though hopefuls are encouraged to apply on LinkedIn or tag on Instagram instead of relying on traditional CVs. The final cohort will also get social media visibility and a chance to feature as the face of the brand.
Speaking about the return of the internship, Deconstruct founder and CEO Malini Adapureddy, said, “The response to the first edition of the Skincare Internship exceeded our expectations and reaffirmed our belief that people are looking for science-led ways to begin their skincare journeys. That success encouraged us to bring back Season 2, while staying true to our goal of helping more people build healthier, more confident relationships with their skin, and reinforcing that skincare can be effective yet gentle.”
How to apply:
Applications are now live and can be submitted exclusively on Unstop, with registrations open for 30 days starting 18 January. The selection process will take place in three stages, including registration and screening, video submissions, and personal interviews.

Magellanic Cloud names Syed Ameeruddin CEO of e-surveillance arm
Keeping a sharper eye on the future, Magellanic Cloud is putting a seasoned watcher in charge.
MUMBAI – Magellanic Cloud Ltd. has elevated Syed Ameeruddin as Chief Executive Officer of its e-surveillance business, bringing its iVIS and Provigil operations under a unified leadership to accelerate growth in intelligent monitoring and infrastructure solutions.
Ameeruddin, a nearly two-decade veteran of the company, steps into the role after leading the e-surveillance vertical. His career trajectory—from Business Development Manager to the top of the vertical—reflects a steady climb built on operational depth, client engagement, and strategic execution across multiple subsidiaries.
Over the years, he has played a central role in expanding the company’s footprint, strengthening client relationships, and streamlining operations. He has also been instrumental in integrating acquisitions, helping align new businesses with Magellanic Cloud’s long-term strategy while stabilising performance across diverse domains.
More recently, Ameeruddin has contributed to securing key mandates spanning railways, the National Highways Authority of India, and the BFSI sector—wins that have bolstered the company’s order book and deepened its presence in critical infrastructure.
Commenting on the move, Joseph Sudheer Thumma said Ameeruddin’s leadership has been “pivotal in shaping the e-surveillance business,” citing his ability to drive growth, build teams, and deliver strategic wins as key to the company’s journey. His elevation, Thumma added, is expected to further accelerate expansion in AI-driven surveillance and infrastructure solutions.
The transition comes as demand surges for AI-enabled monitoring, centralised command systems, and large-scale deployments across mission-critical environments. Magellanic Cloud’s e-surveillance segment—anchored by iVIS and Provigil—has emerged as a significant growth engine, delivering projects across banking, transport, highways, and public infrastructure.
In his new role, Ameeruddin will focus on scaling platform capabilities, expanding deployments in complex environments, and developing integrated solutions that enhance real-time intelligence and operational resilience. He will continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company alongside his new responsibilities.
With this leadership shift, Magellanic Cloud is doubling down on its ambition to stay ahead in India’s rapidly evolving surveillance ecosystem—where seeing, increasingly, is not just believing, but predicting.
