Batch of 2025

'Small-town drummer' from Siliguri, Bangalore rocker now! When he's not freelancing in media and production or playing with his rock band, he's probably doing what he does best: sleeping. Sanket jokes that he struggles to focus on almost anything for too long...except sleep. In fact, whenever life gets stressful, his body has an unusual coping mechanism: it simply puts him to sleep. And honestly, it's worked pretty well so far.

Part-time rapper, full-time yapper. Known better by his stage moniker Mr. Joof, Sukanta wears it proudly in memory of a close friend who gave him the name. A videographer by profession and entertainer by nature, Sukanta is always ready with a joke, and has even slept backstage at a rock concert while the music was blasting. He's joined the Sleep Internship to understand his sleep better, improve it, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

Singer, performer, entrepreneur...and someone who fiercely protects her bedtime. Jiniya has been performing since the age of three while also running her own business, WHILE ALSO being a performing singer, dancer & artiste. No matter how busy life gets, she makes sure her sleep doesn't take a backseat, carefully planning her schedule, avoiding caffeine, and finding time to recharge whenever she can. She's here to prove that making sleep a priority is the ultimate power move.

If Mehek isn't at a shoot, she's probably in bed...and she's perfectly okay with that. A makeup artist and content creator, her days are either packed with shoots or dedicated to unwinding. She's a night owl who loves sleeping in a cold, dark, quiet room with a cosy quilt, and firmly believes naps are dangerous because a 20-minute nap somehow turns into four hours. Whether it's a bed, a couch, or even the floor, Mehek can sleep just about anywhere. Sounds like Sleep Intern material to us!

Trader by profession, creative soul by choice. Karim spends his days navigating the fast-paced world of trading, where math and probability rule over luck. Off the clock, he switches gears by writing shayaris, singing with his guitar, clicking photographs, or making art with his sister. When it comes to sleep, he's got a routine down to a science: no phone 30 minutes before bed, three pillows (yes, three), a breezy room over AC, and a nightly journaling ritual. And of course, every morning begins with an enthusiastic 'Good morning, Hyderabad!' to start the day!

Content strategist by profession, true-blue hustler by nature. Shriya spends over 12 hours a day working while balancing career ambitions with plans to pursue her Master's in Kashmir. Her determination is best summed up by her Sleep Internship journey: after missing the submission deadline by just one minute due to internet issues, she made sure she submitted her video to us by hook or crook. And now, she's officially a Sleep Intern! Safe to say, giving up isn't really her thing.

Chef, creator, and accidental office sleeper (we've all done that). Swati runs her own cloud kitchen and loves creating content around food almost as much as she loves cooking. Her most unforgettable work story? Falling asleep in her manager's cabin by mistake...and eventually getting kicked out because of it. But all's well that ends well, because maybe getting paid to sleep is the career switch she was always meant for. When she's not whipping up delicious meals, she's either working out or chasing her next culinary idea.

A bubbly, full-of-life girl with an unexpected love for forensics! Yashika is studying forensic science, but don't expect the serious stereotype: she's bubbly, energetic, and always brings the fun. Ironically, despite making it all the way to the Sleep Internship Round 3, she almost slept through her own interview and needed three people to wake her up in time. Now that's commitment to sleep.

Calm, curious, and living the Goa life like we all dream of. Ratnagiri is currently studying for IELTS, to prepare for his Masters abroad, while hitting the gym, teaching himself new languages like French and Italian, and imbibing a sense of calm only a man with a good sleep schedule can. With his thoughtful personality and love for learning, he brings a quiet confidence to Sleep Internship S5 and hopes to make every one of his 9 to 10 hours of sleep count.

Marketer, meditator, professional overthinker...until bedtime. Fresh out of college and preparing for the UGC exam, Simran ends every night reading the Bhagavad Gita, often finding unexpected answers to life's biggest questions. She's also the friend who's always picking up the bill, earning herself plenty of goodwill along the way. Now she's ready to see if good karma, and good sleep, can make her India's next Sleep Champion.
