Execute experiments and high-priority work end-to-end across market intelligence, operations, and product strategy.
Company summary
Tejas is a VC-backed, early-stage company crafting vertically integrated building-material brands for India’s top 2%, starting with the $3.5B specialty construction-materials market: tiles and wood adhesives, waterproofing, plywood, and natural stones.
We are backed by Foundamental VC and Matrix Partners (DeVC), alongside B2B leaders including Brijesh Agrawal (IndiaMART), Vasant Sridhar (OfBusiness and Oxyzo), Apurva Chamaria (Google), Yogesh Chaudhary (Jaipur Rugs), and leading Kearney partners. Tejas has launched its first brand, Kamdhenu Adhesive, in partnership with the Kamdhenu Group, one of India’s leading multi-category building-materials conglomerates.
About the role
Help Tejas move faster, build smarter, and win through strong execution. You will take experiments and tasks from hypothesis to adoption: test MVPs, iterate, and re-execute. The role sits at the intersection of market intelligence, commercial operations, and product strategy, with travel to Raipur and other locations for up to 15 days each month.
Ideal persona
- A doer, not a delegator, who is comfortable getting hands-on to fix a system or solve an operational problem.
- Extremely detail-oriented with data and able to see the story behind the numbers.
- Hungry to improve every process, fast to build a V1, and eager to find the next improvement.
- Solution-obsessed, analytically rigorous, and curious about how Indian building-materials businesses operate.
Beyond the paycheck
- Stipend of ₹50,000–₹80,000 per month.
- Fully sponsored business travel, regular events, sports, and milestone experiences.
- A potential full-time offer with enhanced benefits and long-term ESOP opportunity.
- In-house pool, foosball, PlayStation, office lunches, and monthly outings.
Training and location
- The role is based at our Mumbai or Bengaluru HQ.
- Your first three months are a dual-base training and immersion period: 15–20 days in the office and the remainder remote.
- You will move to the Mumbai or Bengaluru HQ thereafter.
