ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a sharp, high-agency Founder's Office Associate to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Founder & CEO at our T. Nagar, Chennai office. This is a founder-led stage — the highest-leverage thing in the company is the Founder's time and attention, and this role exists to protect and multiply both. You'll be the single point of coordination for everything that passes through the Founder's Office, with a front-row seat to how a company gets built.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the Founder's calendar and inbox triage — decide what reaches the Founder and what you handle, schedule ruthlessly, protect deep-work blocks, never let a meeting collide
- Run the follow-up loop — capture every action from every meeting, chase owners, close the loop; nothing the Founder decides is allowed to quietly die
- Keep the decision log — a written record of what was decided, when, and why
- Coordinate across the team on the Founder's behalf — get answers, unblock people, make sure asks land and come back done
- Prepare the Founder for every meeting — the brief, the context, the one thing they must not forget to say
- Handle travel, logistics, investor and partner scheduling, and events end-to-end
- Draft on the Founder's behalf — emails, notes, agendas, follow-ups — in a voice the Founder can send with one edit
- Be the person who says "I'll handle it" — and does

WHO CAN APPLY

- 1–4 years of experience (or an exceptional fresher who can prove it)




- Excellent spoken and written English
- Audacious — not intimidated by senior people, hard asks, or ambiguity; pushes back when needed
- Ferociously organised — runs on lists, and the lists are true
- Discreet — sits at the centre of the company, hears everything, is a vault
- High-agency — given a vague problem, returns with it solved, not with more questions
- Calm under pressure — triages instead of panicking when multiple things are on fire
- Must be available to work on-site at T. Nagar, Chennai (this role cannot be remote)

REQUIRED SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE

- Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 — Proficient
- Calendar and scheduling tools — Proficient
- Notion / Slack or similar productivity apps — Proficient
- Written communication (email drafting, agendas, notes) — Strong
- Project-tracking and note-taking discipline — Strong
- Comfortable learning AI tools quickly (we build them)

GOOD TO HAVE

- Prior experience as an EA, chief-of-staff, or operations coordinator
- Experience supporting a founder, senior executive, or leadership team
- Exposure to startup or fast-paced environments
- Additional language fluency relevant to your city/context
