Cold Emailing Guide with Atharv somani ~ IIM Rohtak

Cold emailing can feel awkward.

You’re staring at a blank screen, wondering what to write, how much to say, whether the subject line is good enough, and most importantly — how to avoid sounding like just another person asking for an opportunity.

I’ve been there.

So I put together the cold email template I use as a starting point when reaching out to people I don’t know.

It’s not a “guaranteed reply” formula or some magical hack. It’s simply a practical structure that helps you write a clear, personalised email without overthinking every sentence.

You can use it for:

• Internship outreach

• Connecting with founders or professionals

• Asking for guidance

• Exploring opportunities

• Reaching out to people you genuinely want to learn from

It’s completely free.

Take the structure, personalise it for your situation, and make it sound like you.

Because the best cold email isn't the one that sounds perfect.
