Appkhichadi is building an India-focused data and API platform that helps fintechs understand users beyond conventional credit data—through richer financial, behavioural and lifestyle signals.

We are looking for a business-first Co-Founder from the fintech ecosystem to join us at the ground floor.

This is explicitly a founder-level, equity-only role at this stage. There is no salary, fixed compensation, consulting fee, or commission structure currently. We are strictly seeking a full time business co-founder with direct experience in the Indian fintech, lending, NBFC, banking, credit or financial-data ecosystem.

What you will own

- Build and execute the go-to-market strategy for our fintech and API SaaS offerings.
- Develop relationships with banks, NBFCs, fintechs, lenders, insurers, aggregators and ecosystem partners.
- Shape commercial models, pricing, enterprise sales and revenue pipelines.
- Convert product capabilities into clear, high-value business propositions for customers and investors.
- Lead partnership conversations, enterprise pitches, proposals and deal closures.
- Drive fundraising strategy, investor outreach, pitch preparation and diligence.
- Build the business, sales and growth function from zero.

Who we are looking for
- Strictly from the Indian fintech, lending, NBFC, banking, credit, insurance, Account Aggregator, financial-data platform, or B2B fintech SaaS ecosystem.
- Strong hands-on experience building, selling, partnering or scaling within these sectors.
- Clear understanding of API-led SaaS, enterprise sales, financial-services partnerships and commercial models.
- Comfortable discussing revenue, unit economics, partnerships, GTM, market positioning and fundraising.




- Solid network across fintechs, NBFCs, banks, lenders, insurers, investors, accelerators or strategic partners is a major advantage.
- Commercially sharp, persuasive and highly execution-oriented.
- Able to understand and position technology products, even without being technical.
- Willing to commit full-time and take genuine founder-level ownership.

Important: founder-stake role only
- This is a founder-level equity/stake-only role for now. No salary or fixed monthly compensation is available at this stage.
- It is not a part-time, advisory, freelance, consulting or commission-only sales role.
- It is not suitable for candidates seeking immediate employment security or a fixed salary.
- Compensation will be through a meaningful co-founder equity stake, structured around commitment, relevant experience, contribution and long-term fit.
- As the company raises capital and scales, the role can transition into a funded full-time leadership position with formal compensation.

What you get
- A meaningful co-founder-level equity stake, structured based on experience, commitment, contribution and long-term fit.
- Prospect to build a high-potential fintech data and API business from the earliest stage.
- Direct ownership of business strategy, revenue, partnerships and fundraising.
- The potential to transition into a funded, full-scale leadership role as the company grows.

If you have built, sold, partnered or scaled within fintech—and want to build something meaningful rather than merely join another company—we should talk.

To apply: Share your LinkedIn profile, a short note on your fintech experience, and why you want to build a stake-led company at this stage.
