Founder's Office

Founder’s Office — Work Directly With the Founder

Title: Founder’s Office
Location: Mumbai
Experience: 2–6 years

A Note from the Founder

I’m looking for someone to work closely with me on some of the most important projects in the company.

This role is designed for people who eventually want to build and run businesses, not just advise them.

There isn’t a rigid job description. You’ll work across strategy, operations, growth, and new initiatives depending on what the company needs at a given time.

Some weeks you might be evaluating a new market or product opportunity. Other weeks you may be launching a new initiative or solving a complex operational problem.

Over time, the goal is for people in this role to take ownership of major initiatives or business verticals.

If you enjoy solving hard problems, moving quickly, and learning how businesses actually scale, this role will give you a lot of exposure and responsibility.

What You’ll Work On

Working directly with me on strategic and operational projects

Launching new initiatives, partnerships, or product ideas

Evaluating new business opportunities and market expansion ideas

Conducting market research and competitive analysis

Building business cases and financial models

Working with different teams to drive execution

Identifying operational inefficiencies and solving them

Supporting fundraising, partnerships, or investor communication when required

What I’m Looking For

2–6 years of experience in consulting, investment banking, product, strategy, or a high-growth startup

Strong analytical thinking and structured problem solving

Someone comfortable working with ambiguity and fast decision-making

Excellent written and verbal communication

High ownership and ability to execute without constant supervision

Curiosity about how businesses actually work

Why This Role Can Be Interesting

You’ll get:

Direct exposure to founder-level decision making

A front-row seat to how a company is built and scaled

The opportunity to work on high-impact projects across functions

A steep learning curve across strategy, operations, and growth

The potential to own major initiatives or business verticals over time

Optional: A Small Exercise (Strongly Encouraged)

If you'd like to stand out, include a short note answering one of the questions below along with your application.

Please keep it under 300 words.

Question 1
Pick a consumer brand you admire. What is one thing they are doing exceptionally well, and what is one thing you would improve?

Question 2
If you were asked to grow a D2C brand from ₹50 crore to ₹200 crore in revenue over the next 3 years, what are the 3–4 biggest levers you would focus on?

Question 3

There are no right answers — I’m mainly interested in how you think about problems.
