Inside Calfus Odyssey: Where Interns Learn to Think Like Founders

What happens when an internship is designed like a practicum, not a classroom? In this conversation, Jacintha Jayachandran, India Head, Calfus talks about Odyssey, our career acceleration program for young professionals. As part of Odyssey, interns take on a mission inspired by Shark Tank: spot a real problem, build an AI-led solution, and pitch it like founders. They discuss why Odyssey was built around learning by doing, why mentors are open to every intern, and why thinking like a founder matters from day one. Because the goal isn't just to build great engineers. It's to build change makers.
