At SignSetu, your work will go beyond pixels—you’ll help amplify voices that have long been overlooked. You’ll collaborate with an inclusive team that celebrates diverse perspectives, design features that land directly in classrooms, and measure success in the smiles and “aha!” moments of Deaf learners across India.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and identities, valuing skills, talent, and passion over labels. This internship offers both professional growth and the opportunity to make a direct social impact.

• Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes in Figma (or similar tools)
