- Make decisions amid ambiguity and take responsibility for outcomes.
- Use modern technology, including AI and automation, where it creates value.
- Develop the technical vision and leadership to scale a business.

Who We're Looking For

Especially Interesting Backgrounds

- Exceptional engineers in established technology companies who led current-product initiatives and want an entrepreneurial challenge.
- Builders with strong technical foundations and commercial instincts.

Strong academic credentials from IITs, IISc, BITS, IIITs, and other leading institutions are welcome, but achievements matter more than pedigree.
