Software Engineering Intern

Schools Suite is not a consumer app you can redesign on a whim. A school runs its admissions, its fee collection, its attendance registers, its examinations and its parent communication on it, and every one of those has a paper equivalent somebody will compare it against. A receipt number that repeats is not a cosmetic bug; it is an accounting problem with a person standing at a counter holding the printout.

That is why this is one of the best products to learn on. The requirements are unusually concrete — a concession applies before or after tax, an academic year rolls over on a date, a parent may see their own child and nobody else’s — so the distinction between "the software is wrong" and "I misunderstood the rule" is sharp and teachable. In three weeks of testing you will learn to read a requirement properly, because here it is the only thing that settles an argument.

After the gate you work on the code with the same care: a fee calculation, a grade computation, a register query that gets slower as a school adds sections. Small, reviewed, explainable. On a system where somebody’s child’s marks are the output, that is the only acceptable way to work.

Flocci Technologies is an India-based, AI-native software company founded in 2023 and built in Ranchi, Jharkhand. It publishes a connected estate of software: 20 product surfaces — audience engagement, AI support, recruiting, sales, meetings, work apps — plus 8 full ERP and POS systems for hotels, schools, garages, libraries, marts, pharmacies and restaurants. It is priced in rupees, billed through PayU, and designed around how Indian businesses actually operate rather than translated from a US product.

The idea holding it together is called One Flocci: every product runs on the same shared layer instead of reinventing it. Identity handles sign-in, organisations, teams and roles once, for everything. Payments holds a single credit wallet you top up once and spend in any product. Intelligence is the shared, metered AI layer every app calls, so AI behaves and bills the same way everywhere. Graph is the cross-app event spine, carrying counts and metadata but never your content. Notifications is one delivery pipe for transactional email and one-time codes, and Gateway is the only public door in — it resolves the app, verifies the session and strips untrusted identity headers before anything reaches a service.

Flocci was founded by MD Afsar Hussain, who spent 10+ years as a senior engineer at SAP Labs India across S/4HANA, ABAP, Fiori and BTP before building this platform. He studied at BIT Mesra (B.Tech) and BITS Pilani (M.Tech), mentors 30+ startups and runs AI and coding workshops across India. That enterprise background shows up in how the estate is built — shared services, auditable rails, systems meant to survive being depended on — and it is why an internship here is run as engineering rather than as a workshop.

What that means for you as an intern: you will touch production code and production data structures used by real customers, not a training sandbox built for interns. The product you are assigned is live while you are testing it. When your commit merges, it gets deployed and somebody uses it. That is the appeal and it is also the reason for the gate in week four — real code carries real consequences, so we make sure you understand the system before you change it.
