Wheelocity - Chief of Staff/Director - Founder's Office (3-5 yrs)

- The role works very closely with the Founders and the leadership team, and entails having to engage and discuss deeply with teams across other functions to (a) uncover real problems, (b) hypothesize solutions, (c) validate ideas, (d) build viable solutions, and (e) implement them on the ground.

- The role would have tremendous exposure to the latest technologies by way of participation in various forums and field visits to other players in the ecosystem.

- The candidate should expect to travel, to attend events, for field implementations, and for partner visits. Overall, the candidate should expect a very rigorous, demanding & yet, a great learning & rewarding experience. Travel would be intense.

Key expectations are as follows:

1. Cross Functional Work: This would involve working deeply and closely across functions.

2. Frugality: As an organization that deeply values sustainability, we work on the "Lean Startup" approach - and place a premium on failing fast & cheap on our way to building products.

3. Field Work & Execution: The role would require the candidate to never hesitate to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty in the process of running these various experiments. As part of the product validation process, a part of the role would also involve actively meeting consumers to seek feedback and validate ideas. As the adage goes - Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is what matters!

4. Contrarian/Out of the Box Thinking: In an industry that is marked and known for its highly conventional & rigid thinking process, the role would challenge preset norms by actively seeking out and engaging new technologies being developed.

5. Perseverance: The saying goes, "95% of product ideas never see the light of day" - so tenacity & upstream swimming would be a prerequisite for the role.

Who we are & what we do:

We are Wheelocity - Building Access rails for Bharat Commerce, where we're revolutionizing commerce in India.

About Wheelocity:

At Wheelocity, we're building the rails for Bharat-Commerce. We believe the next wave of India's digital commerce growth will come from beyond the top 200 cities. The next explosion in the India story will be powered by the 800 million Indians living in the semi-urban and rural parts of India (Bharat). These markets are currently grossly underserviced, across categories, due to: (a) broken supply chain infrastructure, (b) lack of tech adoption by consumers, (c) high cost of customer acquisition, and (d) high levels of heterogeneity. As a result, these markets have not reaped the benefits of the digitization wave of India. And we're fixing that.

Through our very unique "Bharat-First" approach, we have built a stack (supply chain, tech, marketing, service delivery model) that is uniquely tailored to service the needs of this market. Our 'phygital' & high-frequency supply chain solves for the long trust-bridge that exists in the Bharat population, while also building the lowest cost rails to acquire customers and service this market. This will help us unlock the true power of the $1.1 trillion market that is hidden in these pockets of Bharat.

We're already servicing 3500+ villages and towns of India, and are on the verge of massive 6x growth over the next 12-18 months.

Our team of 130 passionate individuals, spread across Bangalore and Trichy, is tackling this challenge head-on.

We value culture very strongly, and are always looking for hungry hustlers looking to create impact, and touch the lives of 800 million people. Visit www.wheelocity.com for more details.

Let's work together to build the infrastructure that empowers Bharat and transforms lives.
