    Hi everyone!

    I'm actively looking to pursue an internship in the finance sector, especially with NBFCs or fintech companies, where I can work on blockchain-related applications.

    I’m passionate about how blockchain can transform areas like digital payments, credit scoring, compliance, and cross-border transactions.

    🔍 Can anyone guide me on:

    1. Whether it's possible to get such internships as a student/learner

    2. What specific skills or concepts I should focus on (finance + blockchain mix)

    3. Any companies, startups, or programs currently open to interns in this domain

    Would really appreciate your insights, suggestions, or references! 🙏

    Let’s build real-world solutions with blockchain 💡

    Yes, it’s definitely possible to get a blockchain internship in the finance sector as a student, especially if you’re targeting NBFCs or fintech companies.

    I’ve seen plenty of early-career folks break in by showing they understand both the basics of blockchain (like smart contracts and DeFi) and how those concepts apply to real-world finance—think digital payments, credit scoring, or compliance. Companies like Polygon, Lendingkart, and Razorpay sometimes offer internships or project-based roles, but you’ll need to keep checking their careers pages and LinkedIn updates.

    If you want to stand out, try building a small project (even a simple payment dApp or a compliance tracker) and put it on GitHub.

    Also, don’t underestimate the power of networking—joining Discords, LinkedIn groups, or even communities like artofblockchain.club can help you find hidden opportunities and get referrals.

    If you have more questions or need specific suggestions, just add them to this thread and I’ll try to help!

    Thanks for the reply—you clearly know your stuff, and now I’m even more motivated 😉

    But hey, if you were to secretly hand over a list of top blockchain and finance topics I have to master to impress the right people, what would be on it?

    I promise to take notes… maybe even share my progress 💻✨

    If you really want to impress the right people in blockchain and finance, my best advice is to build a strong foundation in both areas and understand how they intersect. Start by making sure you truly grasp how blockchain works—things like consensus mechanisms, cryptography, and why distributed ledgers are so powerful.

    Get hands-on with smart contracts, especially on Ethereum, since most real-world applications use them. Dive into the world of DeFi to understand how protocols, staking, and yield farming are changing traditional finance.

    Learn how assets are being tokenized, including NFTs and real-world applications, and keep an eye on the rise of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies.

    Don’t neglect the numbers—being able to analyze blockchain data and model financial scenarios with tools like Excel or Python will set you apart. Finally, understanding compliance, KYC/AML, and security issues in blockchain finance is crucial, as these are top concerns for employers and investors. If you can speak confidently about these topics and show you’re always learning, you’ll stand out in any conversation or interview.

    Thanks a ton Alex, this is gold! I completely agree that mastering the fundamentals and understanding where blockchain and finance meet is key. I’ve already started diving into Ethereum smart contracts and exploring DeFi protocols to get hands-on experience. Your point on compliance and financial modeling really hits—those are areas I’m actively strengthening. Appreciate the clarity and direction in your advice. Definitely staying curious and hungry to learn more every day. Let’s stay connected—would love to share progress and pick your brain further as I grow in this space!
