For people who are difficult to put in one box.
Position: Founder’s Office Executive - Strategy & Special Projects
Location: Gurgaon, Haryana, India
Experience: Exceptional Freshers / Early Career Professionals
Employment Type: Full Time | Onsite
About The Company
Akrisso Innovations Private Limited is an AI technology company built around a simple belief: AI is only as powerful as the human mind directing it. We look for people who know their craft deeply, think logically, question the obvious and use AI as a tool to extend their ability, not replace it.
If you rely on AI to think, create or code for you, Akrisso may not be the right place. We are looking for people with the judgement, curiosity and skill to shape AI, control it and use it to create work that would not be possible otherwise.
About This Role
This is not an Executive Assistant role.
It is for someone who can move between research, strategy, business reasoning, problem solving and execution without losing depth.
You may encounter a subject you know nothing about in the morning and be expected to understand it well enough to form a practical point of view by the end of the day.
That does not mean producing a quick summary.
It means knowing what to question, what to ignore, what matters, what is missing and what should happen next.
We are looking for someone who is naturally curious, logically strong and uncomfortable with shallow answers.
The problems may change.
The standard of thinking should not.
Responsibilities:
What You'll Do
- Research industries, companies, markets and emerging opportunities.
- Break down unfamiliar or ambiguous business problems.
- Analyse information and identify what actually matters.
- Turn research into clear recommendations and decision notes.
- Support strategic and cross-functional initiatives.
- Track important priorities from discussion to execution.
- Prepare presentations, briefs and business documents.
- Evaluate opportunities with commercial and logical thinking.
- Coordinate across teams where execution requires it.
- Challenge assumptions when evidence suggests a better direction.
- Take ownership of key work that does not fit neatly inside one department.
Preferred Qualifications:
Your Craft
You should be strong at:
- Research
- Critical thinking
- Business reasoning
- Writing
- Communication
- Structured problem-solving
- Basic numerical analysis
- Prioritisation
- Execution
- Professional judgement
You do not need to know every subject before you begin.
You do need to know how to learn one properly.
What We Notice
We notice people who
- Ask questions other people do not think to ask.
- Can read ten sources and quickly identify which two deserve attention.
- Naturally separate facts, assumptions and opinions.
- Can explain a complicated idea simply without making it simplistic.
- Go deeper when something does not make sense.
- Have strong opinions but are willing to change them when evidence changes.
- Can connect ideas across business, technology, psychology, culture or other fields.
- Notice opportunities, contradictions and weak logic.
- Are equally comfortable thinking and doing.
- Have taught themselves things simply because they became curious.
- Do not need a title or department to take ownership of a problem.
What We Mean by Independent Thinking
We are not looking for someone who agrees with the founders.
We are looking for someone who can think.
If you believe an idea is weak, you should be able to say why.
If you believe there is a better approach, you should be able to build the argument.
And if the evidence proves you wrong, you should be comfortable changing your position.
That combination matters here
independence without ego.
AI & Your Craft
AI can summarise 50 pages.
It cannot tell you which three sentences matter most.
AI can produce a strategy.
It cannot decide whether the assumptions behind it are sensible.
AI can create a polished presentation.
It cannot replace judgement.
We expect you to use AI extensively to research faster,
compare more information and remove repetitive work.
But the final thinking must still be yours.
If AI disappeared tomorrow, you should still be able to:
read, analyse, question, write, reason and decide.
You Might Fit Unusually Well If
- You frequently fall into research rabbit holes.
- You enjoy subjects outside your formal education.
- You can become useful in an unfamiliar topic very quickly.
- You are usually the person people ask to “figure this out.”
- You are more interested in understanding why something works than memorising what happened.
- You enjoy problems without obvious answers.
- You notice inconsistencies other people ignore.
- Routine work bores you faster than difficult work.
- You can move from a messy question to a clear course of action.
You Might Not Enjoy This Role If
- You need predictable tasks every day.
- You prefer instructions to ambiguity.
- You rely on summaries instead of reading source material.
- You enjoy presenting information more than thinking about it.
- You are uncomfortable disagreeing respectfully.
- You avoid numbers or analytical work.
- You use AI to produce conclusions you have not personally examined.
- You expect someone else to define every next step.

Subject Line: "Founder's Office Executive Application - [Your Full Name]"::
- Your résumé.
- Any work that demonstrates research, analysis, strategy or problem-solving, if available.
Then answer in no more than 250 words: Tell us about one business, product or strategic decision you believe was unusually intelligent. What did most people miss about it?
There is no preferred company.
There is no preferred answer.
We are looking at what you notice, how you reason and whether your thinking is genuinely your own.
One More Thing A prestigious degree will not rescue weak thinking here.
Neither will an impressive designation.
If you are early in your career but unusually curious, analytically strong and capable of learning faster than the people around you, we would rather meet you than someone with five years of experience and five years of repeated thinking.
