Head of Grape Practice (Head of Viticulture) – Nashik

Location: Nashik (field-first, farm-heavy) | Function: Domain & Quality | Type: Full-time, senior hire | Reports to: City CEO – Nashik

About the Role

Bharat Intelligence's first deep focus area is grapes in Nashik, including premium export-grade production. We are looking for a respected grape expert from the Nashik ecosystem — someone who has lived the crop cycle, managed vineyards to international export standards, and is known and trusted by farmers, mukadams, and the wider trade. This person should be able to walk into a vineyard in Dindori, Niphad, Vinchur, or any major grape cluster and be recognised as a credible peer.

Key Responsibilities
- Domain Leadership & Market Credibility: Represent Bharat Intelligence as the premium, agronomy-backed labour provider in the Nashik grape belt; build direct relationships with key farmers, exporters, FPOs, and consultants
- Quality Standards & Field Audits: Define quality standards for each grape work pack — pruning, thinning, canopy work, dipping, harvesting, packing,



and current plantations; build a field audit system with scorecards and pass/fail standards
- Training & Labour Capability Building: Design practical, visual, local-language training modules for mukadams, supervisors, and labour teams; build a crop-cycle-based training calendar
- SOPs & Work Pack Design: Own the agronomy layer of all grape work packs — method, sequence, tools, time norms, and safety requirements; convert standards into checklists and digital workflows
- Productivity & Outcome Improvement: Set realistic productivity benchmarks per task; analyse rework and quality failures; run field pilots on better tools and methods

What Good Looks Like (First 12 Months)

Bharat Intelligence recognised by progressive grape farmers and exporters as the most reliable, best-trained labour execution partner in Nashik; a complete grape SOP and quality system live across key work packs; structured, recurring
