About CIBACIBA is a DST-supported Technology Business Incubator operating under Agnel Charities on the FCRIT campus, Navi Mumbai, with an additional centre in Goa. CIBA is registered as a Section 8 not-for-profit company. Where CIBA holds equity in startups, this arises from Government of India grant instruments (not private investment capital), and CIBA's mandate is to strengthen the startup ecosystem — not to generate returns for any investor or LP. Any equity so held must be managed with the rigour, transparency, and accountability expected of a public grant-funded institution.About the RoleCIBA currently holds equity positions in around 30 portfolio startups, acquired through Government of India grant schemes. We are looking for a Portfolio & Compliance Officer, on a part time basis (3 days a week, from our Vashi office), to build and run the systems that track, monitor, and report on this portfolio — ensuring CIBA meets its governance and compliance obligations as a nominee/equity holder, and that all reporting to government stakeholders is accurate and timely.This is not an investment or fund-management role in the private-capital sense. There are no return targets, no fundraising responsibilities, and no LP relationships to manage. The focus is governance, compliance, and portfolio hygiene on behalf of a public institution. Beyond the equity portfolio, the role will also extend to managing other government grants and schemes administered by CIBA as these arise.Key ResponsibilitiesMaintain an up-to-date register of CIBA's equity holdings across all portfolio startups — shareholding percentages, instrument type, cap table changes, and corporate actionsTrack statutory and contractual compliance of portfolio companies relevant to CIBA's position (annual filings, board resolutions, shareholder consents,
