About LearnTube: We're a Google-backed AI company in the career-tech space with 30 lakh+ users built by a team of 25. That ratio tells you something about how we work: with real velocity, deep ownership, and zero bloat.
Our cultural pillars aren't posters on a wall. We move fast. We raise the floor. We take ownership of outcomes. We build with head, body, and heart. Every person on this team works closely with the founders, has real influence on what we build, and sees their ideas go live not into a backlog.
If you care about being at one of the few AI startups actually building out of Mumbai, with the backing and the traction to prove it's real, this is a rare seat.

We're fixing this, not by tweaking what exists, but by bringing in someone who will rebuild how LearnTube attracts and closes talent.
This is the most leveraged hire we'll make this year. Every person you bring in shapes what this company becomes.
