Growth Manager- Offline Sales & Operations

About the company: Idea to brand journey

George Bernard Shaw had once said “there is no sincerer love than love for food”. I guess that inherent love for food and that hidden desire to build a truly world class food brand always kept us thinking for that eureka moment. And that gave birth to Auntie Fung’s, a QSR brand on Asian street food in March 2015 in Bangalore.

Much has changed in the last 10 years- from that first store in New BEL Road, Bangalore to 10 stores today. While the founders till sometime back was driving most functions including Growth, Customer Experience, Branding, Ops, etc – we now strongly feel to start building a competent, energetic young, lean & hungry professionals to lead this vertical and join the leadership team of the company in fulfilling the vision of making Auntie Fung’s the face of pan-Asian cuisine in India.
