This is a full time role at our office in Dadar East, Mumbai.
We make Ayurvedic gut health products that work - we want to expand their flavors and formats.
What you'll do
You'll work at our bench in Dadar, prototype weekly, and own a product from first batch to the version that ships.
- Build recent formats — shots, sachets, chewables, jellies, granules, teas
- Fix bitterness and aftertaste in high-dose botanical formulas without burying them in sugar
- Keep the active dose intact. Efficacy is not negotiable, palatability is your problem to solve around it
- Write the spec that lets a contract manufacturer reproduce what you made
- Verify what comes back against your own bench standard, in our lab, and say no when it misses
You'll fit if you
- Have 4–8 years of hands-on development — you've personally run the batches, not supervised someone who did
- Have worked with difficult actives: bitter botanicals, harsh extracts, enzymes,
high-dose powders
- Can work in both wet and dry formats. Beverages and blends, granulation and compression
- Know how to mask bitterness with acid, salt, aroma and mouthfeel, not just sweetener
- Have taken something from bench to a manufactured batch and dealt with what broke in between
- Have a palate calibrated to Indian consumers
This is not for you if
- You've only written formulations and reports, never made them
- You need a pilot plant and a team to get anything done
- You've never had to reject a batch
To apply
- Send your CV to [email protected], plus one paragraph: a product you personally developed, how many batches it took, and what was wrong with the first one.
Pay: ₹20,000.00 - ₹40,000.00 per month
