Inc42 is India's #1 media and intelligence platform on the startup economy, covering journalism, Datalabs (India's largest free startup database, with 75,000+ companies), our flagship editorial IPs (AI Summit, D2C & Retail Summit, FAST42, D2C Retreat, CTO Summit, MoneyX Dialogues), and Griffin, India's most curated private founder club.

Our IPs are rooms, not conferences. They are curated, selection is never sold, and the people in the room are the product.

Why this role exists

Inc42 runs five to seven tentpole IPs a year, plus a set of smaller retreats, dinners and closed-door programmes. Each edition is assembled across five teams that sit in different parts of the company: delivery, events operations, account management, marketing and design. Today that assembly is convened by a founder, by hand, edition by edition.

We are hiring Program Managers to own that assembly. You will run two to three IPs end to end, or a full season of them: the calendar, the T-minus timeline, every dependency and go-live date, the cost sheet, the live delivery tracker, and the retro.



The founders keep the editorial call and the sponsor call. You make the whole thing ship, on the date, on the number, without anyone above you having to chase.

This is the first rung of a ladder we are building deliberately. The people who run two IPs well will run four; the person who runs six will lead the portfolio.

What You'll Own

• The programme, end to end: for each IP you hold, the annual date, the edition scope, the T-minus plan from ninety days out, the dependency map across content, marketing, design, operations, account management and speakers, and the go-live sequence for the website, the agenda and the room.
• The tracker that everyone works from: one live view per IP with stage, owner and due date. You keep it true. When something slips, you know three weeks before delivery does, and you say so.
• The cost sheet: vendor, venue, production and travel economics for each edition, built ea
