SHREE EKADANTA CRAFT BEVERAGES LLP

Executive Assistant, Founder’s Office (Operations & Vendor Management)

About Us

Shree Ekadanta Craft Beverages LLP (LLPIN: ACZ-7772) is an early-stage premium beverage company based in Katni, Madhya Pradesh. We are launching a premium glass-bottle craft soda brand with Indian flavours — built around an exclusive retail store format with in-store bottling, where customers watch their soda being bottled fresh. The brand carries forward a family beverage legacy dating to the 1920s.

Our pilot launches in October 2026 with two stores (Katni and Jabalpur), and we are assembling the founding team now.

The Role

You will be the founder’s execution arm on the ground — a high-ownership generalist role at the centre of a ground-up brand launch. This is not a desk job: your first months will be spent building the vendor network, setting up the stores, and executing the launch. You will work directly with the founder daily and see every function of a company being built.

Key Responsibilities

- Vendor scouting and management: build comparison sheets for machinery, syrup/flavour houses,

glass bottles, caps, and CO2 suppliers — first calls, quotations, MOQs, references, and sample coordination
- Plan and coordinate founder visits to vendor factories (Rajkot, Coimbatore, Firozabad)
- Store setup: location scouting support, fit-out coordination, local permissions and liaison
- Licensing and compliance paperwork: FSSAI, GST, municipal registrations
- Procurement, inventory, and cost tracking; maintain the company tracker with daily updates
- Launch execution: sampling events, opening-week operations, local marketing legwork
- A structured daily standup with the founder; independent execution between reviews

Who We Are Looking For

- MBA/PGDM — 2026 batch (final year / recent graduates) OR 2024–25 batch alumni with 1–2 years of

experience




- Relentless follow-through — you close loops without reminders
- Strong spoken Hindi and working English; comfortable making 20 vendor calls a day
- Willing to be based in Katni, with frequent travel in the Katni–Jabalpur region and occasional

outstation vendor visits
- Candidates from the Katni–Jabalpur region who understand the local market are particularly

encouraged
- Two-wheeler licence preferred

Structure & Compensation Two structures are available — candidates may indicate their preference:

- Contract-to-hire: a 3-month contract phase at a fixed retainer of 25,000–30,000 per month, with all

travel for field and vendor work fully covered; on successful completion of contract deliverables, transition to a permanent full-time position at 3.0–3.6 LPA fixed plus an annual performance component
- Direct full-time: for candidates who prefer the certainty of a full time offer from day one (particularly

those currently employed), the same role with a standard 3-month probation period, on the same compensation terms• Performance bonus of up to 50,000 linked to the successful store launch and contract/probation deliverables — applicable under both structures

Why Join

- Ground-floor role in a new premium brand — direct daily mentorship from the founder
- Real decision authority within defined limits, from week one
- Broad exposure across operations, sourcing, compliance, and retail — the full anatomy of a launch
- Clear growth path: strong performers will lead functions as the company scales

Selection Process Application 30-minute call 48-hour practical work-sample task (a real vendor-scouting exercise)

final interview with the founder offer.
