Business All Rounder. Valu Ventures · Mumbai (Hybrid, We Work BKC) · Full-time · Start: September 2026
About Valu Ventures Valu Ventures is a bootstrapped venture studio building small, profitable online businesses from Mumbai in the spirit of operators like Pieter Levels () and Greg Isenberg (Late Checkout). No outside funding, no VCs, no chasing unicorns. We will make money by shipping products and services that customers actually pay for, building in public as we go. To be clear, this will be a separate new business to Wicky AI.
We will launch 2 new businesses every quarter, review each one at the 6-month mark, and decide whether to double down or kill it. We focus on small, simple, scalable online businesses. No physical stores, no heavy capital, no shipping inventory. The studio is founded and run by Nakul Pednekar, based in Sydney and originally from Mumbai. You’ll work from an office with the founding team 2-3 times a week and in person with Nakul 3-4 times a year.
You'll be one of the first three hires. You'll work directly with the founder,



and you'll have real ownership of how the studio actually runs from day one.
The role You'll be the studio's general operator ‘wearing many hats’ including marketing, sales, ops, admin, customer support. Anything that isn't engineering or content runs through you. You'll set up the systems, run the cadence, chase the customers, manage the money, and make sure the studio actually operates. You'll learn cold outbound, paid ads, lead-gen, basic finance, and how to run a small online business by doing it on real businesses with real customers. A unique opportunity to start something from scratch with the support of the Founder who has a decade’s experience of running small businesses.
