Founder's Office

About TorqWars

TorqWars is building India's competitive RC racing. We are a sports-entertainment business running on three engines: experience-led arenas with timed racing, a league, and a D2C store for RC cars and parts. Our first arena opens soon in Bandra, Mumbai, and we are backed by The Foundery. Our mission is to make battling with machines a real sport. You will work directly with the founders and own how your function is built from the ground up.

Role overview

You will work across the business with the founders, taking on the most important problem of the month and solving it end to end: opening the arena on time, fixing a supply issue, setting up a new sales channel, or building a process that does not exist yet. You will move between strategy and on-ground execution in the same day.

Key responsibilities

• Own founder-priority projects end to end, from framing the problem to a shipped result.
• Step in where the business is stuck: operations, supply chain and vendors, D2C, partnerships, finance or hiring.
• Build the operating rhythm: trackers, dashboards, weekly reviews and decision notes.
• Run quick analyses and models to support decisions: unit economics, pricing and scenarios.
• Set up new processes and hand them over to a function owner once they work.
• Represent the founders with vendors, partners and investors when needed.

KPIs

Projects shipped on time, problems closed rather than just analysed, and how quickly what you set up runs without you.

Requirements

• Experience in a startup, consulting, investment or founder's office role, or as a founder. Senior candidates are welcome, and so are candidates with 3–5 years who have grown fast.
• A track record of solving messy, cross-functional problems end to end.
• Strong with numbers: spreadsheet models, unit economics and quick estimates.
• Clear written and spoken communication, including one-page decision notes.
• Comfortable switching between strategy and on-ground execution.

Good to have

Ex-founder. Consumer, retail, D2C, gaming or hardware experience. Uses AI tools to work faster.

How we assess

A quick AI voice interview with your camera on and your screen shared (about 20 minutes, five main questions): a messy problem you personally solved (the numbers, the decisions, who did what and what went wrong), a live TorqWars problem with real constraints to think through out loud, and what your last manager would say about you. We do not expect you to know RC cars; we will teach you the sport. We hire for intelligence, energy and integrity. Specific, honest and structured answers score well; generic or rehearsed answers do not. We look at what you have done in the last 2–3 years, and we speak to references before any offer.

Your first 90 days

Two founder-priority projects shipped end to end, a weekly operating review and company dashboard running, and at least one new process handed to an owner who runs it without you.

What we offer

Direct work with the founders across every function, exposure to building a company and a new sport from the early stage, and a path to lead a function. A two-year mission across the business, ending with a function of your own to lead.

Location

Work from office, Mumbai: our Worli office and the Bandra arena, plus vendor and partner sites when needed.

Hiring process

A short AI interview, a call with a founder, a 48-hour assignment on a real problem from our business for shortlisted candidates, a working session in Mumbai with reference checks, a final conversation with our co-founder, and an offer within 2 weeks of the first call.

When you apply, share

• One messy problem you solved end to end: what was broken, what you did, and the result in numbers.
• Current and expected CTC, and notice period.

Strategy & Operations Generalist (Visuals & Documentation)

About the Role:

We are looking for a high-IQ, high-output Strategy & Operations Generalist to join our team as a "Force Multiplier." This isn't a role for someone who wants to stay in a narrow lane; it’s for a smart thinker who thrives on variety, speed, and excellence.

Your primary mission is to translate complex ideas, raw data, and messy brainstorms into world-class visual narratives (PowerPoint) and airtight documentation. You will work closely with leadership to ensure our strategy is communicated clearly and our operations are documented flawlessly.

Key Responsibilities:

Executive Storytelling: Design high-stakes PowerPoint presentations for board meetings, client pitches, and internal strategy sessions. You don't just "make slides"; you build the narrative arc.

Technical & Process Documentation: Draft clear, concise, and professional documentation, including SOPs, project reports, white papers, and research summaries.

Information Synthesis: Take hours of voice notes, scattered data points, or 20-page research papers and distill them into 1-page executive summaries or 5-slide decks.

Strategic Support: Act as a "Chief of Staff" style resource for various departments, jumping in to solve problems, organize workflows, and move projects across the finish line.

Quality Gatekeeping: Ensure every external-facing document or deck meets the highest standards of logic, grammar, and design.

Who You Are (The "Horsepower" Profile)

Intellectual Curiosity: You are a fast learner who can wrap your head around a new industry or technical concept in hours, not days.

Design-Forward Mindset: You have a "Power User" command of PowerPoint or Keynote. You understand whitespace, hierarchy, and how to use data visualization to tell a story.

Exceptional Writing: Your prose is lean, logical, and persuasive. You can write for a CEO or a developer with equal ease.

Relentless Execution: You have the "horsepower" to handle high-pressure deadlines without losing attention to detail.

Autonomous Problem-Solver: You don't wait for a manual; you build the manual. You are comfortable with ambiguity and "figuring it out."

Requirements:



Experience: 2–5 years in management consulting, startup operations, executive support, or a research-heavy role.

Tech Stack: Mastery of PowerPoint/Google Slides and Notion/Google Docs. Familiarity with AI tools (LLMs) for research and drafting is a major plus.

Portfolio: Ability to demonstrate previous work (decks or writing samples) that showcases your ability to simplify complexity.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, International Relations, or a related field (or equivalent "real world" experience).

We are looking for someone who:

- Is good at finding solutions rather than only identifying problems

- Can communicate clearly and professionally

- Wants to understand how a business is actually built and scaled

How you will work

You own the execution on your brands. Nobody will chase you for status, and nobody will hand you a process for a situation you have not seen before. You build it, write it down, and the next brand goes live faster because of it.

Expect the first few fortnights to be manual. Trackers maintained by hand, follow-ups by phone, reports rebuilt every week. What we want you doing alongside that is noticing which of it should never be manual again: the same status update, the same device reconciliation, the same weekly report.

You will be encouraged to automate those yourself with the AI and workflow tools available to you, rather than waiting on an engineering sprint. You will not be doing this alone. Sales, Product, Engineering, AI and Logistics teams sit around you and will build what you ask for. What nobody will do is tell you what to ask for.

What you will do

• Run brand and store onboarding. Work with the client's point of contact to collect store, employee and device details. Plan the go-live, run the store training, track timelines, and keep the implementation tracker honest.
• Own devices and logistics. Allocation, mapping, dispatch, delivery, replacement and recovery. Keep accurate records of active, faulty, spare and returned devices, and stay on top of couriers and vendors until things actually arrive.
• Watch the daily operations.- Monitor recordings and data uploads, track store and salesperson activity, and spot the gap before the client does. Handle escalations, and follow up internally until the issue is actually closed rather than acknowledged.
• Report accurately. -Daily and weekly operational reports on adherence, recordings, store activity and device health. This is heavy Excel and Sheets work: pivot tables, lookups, QUERY, FILTER. The numbers have to be right, because people make decisions on them.
• Coordinate with clients. -Be the operational contact for the brand's teams. Share updates, understand what they are asking for, and make sure every commitment you make is one that gets delivered.
• Coordinate the team.- Allocate tasks across the operations and implementation team, track completion, run regular reviews, and help new joiners get up to speed on how things are done.
• Improve and automate the process. -Write the SOPs and checklists, kill the repetitive manual work, and make each implementation cleaner than the last.

What we are looking for

1. Must have 3 to 5 years in operations, implementation, project coordination or customer success operations
2. A logistics or e-commerce background is the closest match to what this job actually asks for, and is what we would prefer
3. Strong Excel and Google Sheets. Formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, QUERY and FILTER should be things you use, not things you have heard of
4. Relentless follow-up. Most of this job is making sure something that was promised actually happened
5. Good communication and the confidence to handle a client escalation without needing somebody senior on the call
6. Fluent English and Hindi. A third Indian language counts for a lot, since you will be talking to store teams and not only to HQ
7. Ownership. You should be the person others stop following up with, because you have already closed it

Good to have

• Basic SQL, or experience writing report requirements for a technical team
• Used LLMs for daily tasks, both professional and personal
• Exposure to SaaS, AI or a startup environment, and to hardware deployed in the field
• Experience coordinating a small team, or running several clients and projects at once

Bozzo Cabs is building a new urban mobility platform, starting with Hyderabad.

We're looking for a GTM & Growth Manager to take ownership of how we enter the market, acquire customers and build sustainable growth.

This is a hands-on founding-team role—not a traditional marketing position. You'll work across GTM, customer acquisition, pricing, partnerships, competitor analysis and business strategy.

What you'll work on

• Build and execute Bozzo's Hyderabad GTM strategy.

• Identify high-potential customer segments, locations and growth opportunities.

• Build acquisition strategies across digital, offline, community and partnership channels.

• Experiment with social media, influencers, referrals, WhatsApp, campuses, offices, apartments and local communities.

• Build referral and partnership-led growth loops.

• Track the customer funnel from Awareness → Install → First Ride → Repeat Ride → Referral.

• Analyze CAC, conversion, retention, repeat rides and campaign ROI.

• Study competitors such as Uber, Rapido and Ola, including pricing, offers and positioning.

• Help shape Bozzo's pricing and promotional strategy.

• Identify market gaps and opportunities across Hyderabad.

• Continuously test, measure and improve growth initiatives.

• 4–6 years of experience in one or more of:

• Creative in developing new customer-growth ideas

• Comfortable with both online and offline growth

• Strong in communication, partnerships and negotiation

• Familiar with the Hyderabad market

• Comfortable working with ambiguity, limited resources and high ownership

What makes this role different

We're not looking for someone who only manages social media, runs ads or prepares reports.

We're looking for someone who can connect:

Market → Customer → Pricing → Acquisition → First Ride → Repeat Ride → Referral → Growth

You'll have the freedom to identify opportunities, propose experiments and take them from idea → execution → measurement → scale.

Founding-Team Opportunity

This is an equity-only founding-team opportunity.

You'll work closely with the founders and have direct ownership over one of the most important challenges for an early-stage mobility company:

How do we acquire customers, create repeat usage and build a scalable growth engine?

If you enjoy building from zero, solving ambiguous problems and seeing your work directly impact a startup, we'd love to hear from you.

About Jinn AI

Most retail sales happen in conversations at the counter, and almost none of them are measured. Jinn AI changes that. Our AI wearables capture in-store sales conversations and turn them into coaching, conversion insights and leadership analytics for high-value retail brands. We're founded by serial entrepreneurs from IIT and IIM with 25+ years in B2B tech, and we're now taking Jinn to the US.

The role

You'll be the first person dedicated to building Jinn's presence primarily with US buyers. You'll work directly with the founders, create content people actually read, grow a community of US retail leaders, and turn that attention into qualified leads. Every part of the role has a number attached, and you'll own those numbers.

What you'll do

•    Content (about 40%)

–    Write 3–4 LinkedIn posts a week for the founders and the company page, in their voice

–    Publish 2 SEO-led blogs a month on retail sales, store performance and AI on the floor

–    Turn customer wins into case studies: interview the client team, pull the numbers, write it up

•    Inbound and lead funnel (about 35%)

–    Drive US traffic to the website through LinkedIn, SEO and newsletter, with UTM tracking on every link

–    Set up and run lead capture: demo requests, gated case studies, webinars, newsletter sign-ups

–    Build US target account lists, map buyers, and draft outreach sequences (the founders send)

–    Qualify inbound leads against our ICP and hand them to the founders in the CRM

•    Community (about 25%)

–    Build and run a community of US retail sales and operations leaders (newsletter plus a LinkedIn group)

–    Host a monthly virtual roundtable or AMA with a retail leader

–    Engage daily with US retail voices and invite the right people in

Key result areas

What we'll measure to be around:

• Content output / Reach and engagement
• Inbound traffic / Lead funnel
• Outbound support
• Community
• Reporting

Who we're looking for

•    You write clearly and simply in English, and can show us things you've written

•    You're curious about how businesses work, like turning a messy idea into a sharp point, and are comfortable living in spreadsheets and analytics

•    You use AI tools daily, but know a first draft isn't a finished one

•    You take feedback without getting defensive, and act on it the same day

•    Bonus: you've grown a LinkedIn, newsletter, blog or college publication; you read a lot of US B2B content

Final-year students and recent graduates (0–1 year) welcome. Your degree subject doesn't matter.

What you get

•    Your work goes live under the company's name from week one

•    You'll learn the whole B2B funnel, from a post to a booked meeting, and the tools behind it: web analytics, LinkedIn analytics and a CRM

•    You'll work directly with the founders on positioning and selling to US enterprise buyers

•    A published portfolio with real numbers attached, and a full-time offer for strong performers

Internship Stipend: 20k / month; FT Compensation Range: 5 - 7 LPA (depending on outcomes/performance)
