Lead - Category and Operations

About

Furrl is building the next generation of fashion e-commerce in India. We’re creating a GenAI discovery platform for homegrown D2C brands, helping new age women find products that express their unique vibe.

India’s D2C market is exploding — over $100B in potential — and yet, discovering fresh, differentiated brands remains broken. Furrl is fi xing that. We’re building a destination that lets users discover, validate, and shop from India’s most exciting indie labels, all in one place.

Furrl is founded by an IIT Kanpur + Harvard Business School alum with deep experience building businesses from scratch at ITC, Myntra, and most recently, Entrepreneur First India, an early-stage VC, where she built a portfolio of 42 startups. The core team includes experienced leaders from IIT, IIM, Myntra and Meesho.

📍 Location: HSR Layout, Bangalore

🕒 Experience: 3–5 years

🏢 Type: Full-time, Onsite
