jobs in the wild.

I have a PhD from Max Planck. Taught at IIT Bombay. Built tech at Apple and Weta Digital. Published papers with Yann LeCun. But the work that actually moves the needle? It happens between meetings. In Uber rides. Over coffee with founders. Threads with 40 unread messages. Commitments made on calls that no one wrote down. A while back, I hired Rithika for this exact role. She sat in every room, owned every follow-up, ran the engine. A few months later, she graduated - she's now our Head of Ops. And she's about to take on her next chapter: leading our UAE expansion. That's the path. That's the promise. And now I'm hiring the next one. I'm looking for a Founders Office Analyst. My right hand. Someone who'll be in every room, every call, every decision - and make sure nothing slips. You'll run my calendar, my inbox, my commitments, my follow-ups. You'll track every promise I make and every promise made to me. You'll prep me before meetings and close the loop after. If I forget it, you remember it. If I miss it, you catch it. Zero balls dropped is the bar. You'll work directly with me. Learn the playbook. Then own it, evolve it, run it. Think of it as a real-world MBA. You'll see how we close deals, handle crises, build partnerships, and now - open new geographies. You'll learn why some meetings are worth ₹2Cr and others aren't worth 2 minutes. You'll watch how companies actually get built and scaled across borders. This is an 18-month apprenticeship. After that, you graduate graduate into owning core parts of the business - GTM, Partnerships, Events, Community or your own geography. Rithika is proof. We build leaders from within, and we deliver on what we promise. We're committed to diversity and especially encourage applications from women ready to break into leadership roles. ⸻ 📍 Location: Bangalore (In-office, 5 days/week) 💸 Compensation: ₹6–20 LPA + revenue share if applicable 💻 Ideal Candidate: • Obsessive about follow-through - finishes what they start • Treats inbox zero, clean calendars, and closed loops as a craft • Calm under chaos; thrives when ten things are on fire • Doesn't need handholding, but craves context • 🎓 Degrees don't matter.
