Food Technologist – Internship
MSC Group has advertised a Food Technologist internship in Pune, with a stipend of ₹23,000–27,000 per month. The internship lasts six months, is full time and in office, and has three openings. Applications close on 3 December 2026.
This is a specialist formulation opportunity, rather than a general internship with no practical background expected.

The employer profile describes MSC Nutra's nutraceutical ingredient and product-development business.

Formulation and product-development responsibilities
The intern will develop nutraceutical formulations for client brands, from initial concept and pilot batches through scale-up. The formats named in the listing include tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, gummies, jellies, soft chews and candies. Work must respond to the client's brief for active doses, excipients, flavour, colour and cost targets.
Pilot batches may be up to five kilograms, with support for scaling up to commercial production. Trials cover taste, texture, stability, flow, hardness and disintegration where relevant to the product. The role also involves working with quality control teams and external laboratories for testing and shelf-life studies.
Documentation is a substantial part of the assignment. The employer lists formulation sheets, bills of materials, master formula records, batch manufacturing records and costing. Interns will check ingredients and claims against applicable nutraceutical requirements, shortlist raw materials, obtain vendor samples, present samples and updates to clients, and keep project trackers current.
Lab records, retained samples and trial data need to be maintained. These responsibilities connect formulation decisions with testing, production readiness, client communication and traceable records; applicants should be comfortable with that combination of practical and documentation work.
Eligibility and technical requirements
Hands-on formulation experience in at least two formats is required. Experience with gummies or confectionery is a strong plus. The employer also asks for working knowledge of FSSAI nutraceutical regulations, experience with stability studies and scale-up, and experience in a contract-manufacturing or brand-development setup.
Other requirements include flavour-masking and sugar-free systems knowledge, good documentation and communication in English, and the ability to handle several client projects while meeting timelines. Food Safety is the named skill on the listing. No particular degree, graduating batch or numerical years-of-experience threshold is specified in the visible employer text; the practical requirements above still apply.
Candidates must be from Pune, available for full-time office work for six months, have relevant skills and interests, and be able to start in the stated window. Women wanting to start or restart their careers are explicitly invited to apply when the remaining requirements are met.
Pay, perks and employer background
The stipend is advertised as ₹23,000–27,000 per month. The accessed source does not publish a separate fixed-and-incentive split. A certificate and a letter of recommendation are listed as benefits; no permanent-job guarantee is stated.
The employer profile describes MSC Nutra as an India-based importer and distributor of nutraceutical ingredients, also supporting ingredient sourcing, technical documentation, product development and formulation. This is the business context attached to the MSC Group listing, and should not be confused with an unrelated employer sharing the MSC initials.
