About Artha Group

Artha Group is a performance-first investment house managing over ₹1,250 crores across multiple fund platforms :

  • Artha Venture Fund (AVF) : Sector-specific early-stage VC
  • Artha Continuum Fund (ACF) : Cross-stage investing across India and global markets
  • Artha Select Fund : Follow-on capital for top-performing portfolio companies

We operate with high ownership, speed, and execution intensity—backing 130+ companies with 30+ successful exits. Our investors include India’s leading family offices and global UHNIs.

Role Overview

This is not an Executive Assistant role.

This is pivotal in the Founder’s Office, purpose-built for venture capital. You will own the coordination layer between the Founder, Principals, Associates, and deals in motion .

You will :

  • Track deal progress, follow-ups, bottlenecks, and IC prep across the venture team
  • Represent the Founder in meetings, review calls, and negotiations when required
  • Manage internal execution hygiene : no drop-offs, no delays, no unforced errors
  • Coordinate across LPs, legal, and internal teams to unblock high-priority workflows
  • This is a rare opportunity to operate as a force multiplier to the Managing Partner , with direct visibility into how fund-level decisions get made. This role offers a clear path for advancement, with the potential to transition into a Principal or higher position based on your performance over 2–3 years.

    What You’ll Lead

    Strategic Deal Execution & Flow Tracking

  • Track live deals across sourcing, diligence, memos, and legal keeping the Founder updated and bottlenecks cleared.
  • Ensure all meetings (internal and external) result in documented follow-ups, owner accountability, and timely execution.
  • Attend partner, founder, and LP calls where necessary—ensuring precision, preparation, and post-call tracking.
  • Founder Support Across Venture Ops

  • Filter and prioritize inbound asks from Principals and Associates before escalating to the Founder.
  • Prepare briefing notes, data sheets, and key context before every Founder meeting.
  • Draft and refine notes, IC pre-reads, investor decks, and strategic updates
  • Cross-Team & External Coordination

  • Act as the connective tissue between investment team, legal, fund ops, and external advisors
  • Coordinate timelines, deliverables, and dependencies across stakeholders
  • Ensure deal momentum is maintained—nothing falls through the cracks
  • Execution Hygiene & System Setup

  • Own the deal tracking sheet, investment checklist, and calendar management systems.
  • Standardize how tasks move from “discussion” to “done.”
  • Bring visibility and structure to fast-moving, complex decision loops.
  • Who You Are

  • A detail-obsessed VC professional who thrives on order, follow-through, and operational visibility
  • 3–5 years in venture capital, private equity, or fund operations with direct exposure to deal execution
  • Able to track multiple deals and people while pushing everything toward closure
  • Comfortable representing the Managing Partner in meetings, follow-ups, and decisions
  • Fast, structured, and calm under pressure—especially when chaos hits
  • Required Experience

  • MBA or CA required. No exceptions.
  • 3–5 years in VC / PE / fund investing or fund ops roles (deal-execution adjacent)
  • Strong understanding of venture capital workflows : sourcing, diligence, IC, and legal
  • Proven track record in execution, prioritization, and coordination roles
  • Excellent writing skills : notes, memos, decks, and follow-ups must be sharp and founder-grade
  • Compensation Structure

  • Total Annual Package - 26,50,000
  • 20,00,000 fixed annual salary
  • 3,25,000 confirmed annual retention bonus (paid at 12-month anniversary)
  • 3,25,000 ESOP grant (vesting per policy)
  • Performance bonus (based on execution, deal support, and fund ops impact)
  • Carry participation (disclosed during the final interview stage)
  • Fixed compensation is non-negotiable . All upside is earned through performance.
