Griffin is a private, invitation-only club that unites India’s top tech founders through curated experiences, strategic learning, and peer-driven growth. Designed for India’s unicorn and soonicorn founders – building at scale, Griffin offers a trusted space where founders don’t just network–they forge deep, meaningful relationships, share unfiltered insights, and collaborate to shape India’s next chapter of innovation. From intimate salons and high-trust retreats to access to capital and exclusive opportunities, Griffin offers a curated path to clarity, collaboration, and personal growth. More than a community, it’s the inner circle powering the next wave of industry-shaping leaders.

Job Overview

- At Griffin, communication is not content creation – it is trust-building at the highest level.
- As the Communication Lead, Griffin Club, you will own the voice, narrative, and communication engine of one of India’s most exclusive founder collectives. This role sits at the intersection of brand, founder relationships, government engagement, member communication, event communication, and institutional storytelling.
- You will work closely with the Founder’s Office and Griffin leadership to ensure that every message going out of Griffin – whether to a unicorn founder, a minister’s office, a public-market leader, a global institution, a member, a partner, or an internal team – feels sharp, thoughtful, premium, and worthy of the Griffin room.
- This is not a conventional communications role. You are not just writing posts, invites, emails, or updates. You are helping shape how India’s most consequential founders are spoken to, how Griffin is perceived, and how high-trust relationships are built through language, nuance, discretion, and speed.

- Shape Griffin’s Voice: Define and maintain the communication tone for Griffin across founder outreach, member updates, event invites, government notes, institutional communication, and brand narratives.
- Work With India’s Top Founders: Write and manage communication for a private room of unicorn, soonicorn, IPO-bound, and listed company founders.
- Drive High-Stakes Outreach: Support communication with founders, investors, government offices, embassies, public-market leaders, institutions, and strategic partners.




- Build Founder-First Narratives: Translate Griffin’s work into crisp, sharp, emotionally intelligent communication that feels premium, private, and high-signal.
- Power Griffin Events & Experiences: Own communication before, during, and after Griffin Salons, Retreats, IPO Dialogues, international delegations, private dinners, and institutional engagements.
