Founder's Office Associate

Founder’s Office Associate

Build the cognition layer for rural India—right from the CEO’s desk.

Why This Role Matters

• Shape the Future of Rural Intelligence

  : Help build AI systems that think, decide, and act for India’s farmers and rural labourers.

• Work at the Strategic Core

  : Partner directly with the CEO and CTO to drive high-leverage initiatives across product, growth, and partnerships.

• Operate Across Extremes

  : One day you're writing an investor memo; the next you're in a vineyard running pruning pilots. Range is your superpower.

• Train the System, Not Just People

  : Your work will directly shape our decisioning engine that powers intelligence across crops, villages, and value chains.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Strategic Execution

  : Convert abstract ideas into structured 30-60-90 day plans. Own OKRs. Keep the company on course.

• Lead Field Pilots

  : Design and execute high-tempo experiments across rural Maharashtra. Capture insights to train and refine our AI agents.

• Manage Ecosystem Relationships

  : Interface with farmers, FPOs, input sellers, labour networks, and NGOs to ensure fast feedback and aligned action.

• Surface Strategic Opportunities

  : Map adjacencies—commerce, carbon, finance—and translate insights into product and platform bets.

• Craft Powerful Narratives

  : Produce clear, high-impact decks, investor updates, and internal reports that align teams and influence stakeholders.

• Own Special Projects

  : From designing last-mile logistics for 1,000 workers to securing API access for UPI payments—whatever moves the mission forward.

What You Bring

• 2–4 years of experience in agritech, consulting, operations, or high-growth startups where ambiguity is the norm.
• A Master's in Agricultural Economics, Rural Development, Agribusiness—or a proven track record that speaks louder than credentials.
• Fluency in Marathi and English (Hindi a plus); able to communicate seamlessly from boardroom to village choupal.
• Deep comfort with fieldwork—you’ve designed surveys, led pilots, or scaled rural operations across Maharashtra.
• Relentless execution mindset. Outcome-first. Low ego. High agency. Willing to do what the moment demands.

Why Join Us

• Equity + Salary

  : Competitive with leading Seed startups.

• Direct Access

  : Weekly face-time with founders. Work on core, not side projects.

• Fast Learning Curve

  : Operate at the edge of AI, agriculture, and labour systems in India.

• Mission That Matters

  : Help shift wealth back to India’s villages by building systems that truly understand the rural economy.
