The future is bright — and the future is here at Salesforce.
Futureforce, Salesforce’s university recruiting program, is dedicated to the next generation of talent. Each year Futureforce interns tackle real projects — from coding to marketing — leaving a mark on the company and shaping its success as the #1 AI CRM.
We sat down with Class of 2023 Futureforce interns around the world to find out what kind of impact they've made this summer:
Harnessing AI Projects Around the Globe
Stuti Arora
💼 Software Engineer Intern
📍 San Francisco, CA
Q: Can you tell us about an exciting project you’re working on?
“We’re integrating Einstein GPT — the World’s First Generative AI for CRM — into the Payments Workspace so that data isn’t just displayed, but it’s actually used to give insights and analysis to merchants that can help increase their bottom line, in terms of revenue.”
Deepak Agarwal
💼 Software Engineer Intern
📍 Hyderabad, India
Deepak participated in a hackathon in which his team built an incubator for uncovering the puzzling facets of AI bias.
“Our groundbreaking creation took the form of an extension, which actively detects biases in real-time as users type, illuminating the hidden prejudices that often permeate our digital landscapes."

Fernanda Maldonado
💼 Customer Success Intern

“It is truly remarkable how much one can learn about a person through the lessons they impart.

Prior to joining Salesforce, I was aware of its reputation as an outstanding place to work, but now, as a member of this remarkable company, I truly understand why that is the case.”
