Job description

We’re looking for a hands-on Flavor & Application Specialist who can turn our high performance bitter botanicals into delicious, food-like formats that people love.

This is a full-time opportunity at our fully equipped, chemical R&D lab in Dadar, Mumbai.

✅ What You Will Do

  • Reduce bitterness in products like ColCalm, Kalmegh Bitters, TumGard
  • Create on-the-go formats : mini shots, sachets, teas, chewables, snackables
  • Prototype weekly in our pilot kitchen — taste, tweak, iterate fast
  • Build 2–3 flavour variants with real food ingredients
  • Improve mouthfeel & aftertaste without adding artificial junk
  • Maintain formula efficacy while enhancing enjoyment

✅ You’re a Great Fit If You Have

  • Worked with strong, bitter botanicals or harsh extracts
  • Turned bad-tasting ingredients into market-ready beverages or shots
  • Know how to mask bitterness without just adding sugar
  • LOVE to prototype — not just write formulations or reports
  • Enjoy the challenge of making healthy taste addictive
  • A palate aligned with Indian consumers
  • ❌ Who This Role Is NOT For

  • ❌ Lab researchers who only write PDFs and reports
  • ❌ Nutritionists or Ayurveda experts without flavour application experience
  • ❌ Pilot-scale scientists who don’t enjoy hands-on kitchen work
  • ❌ People who insist bitterness “cannot be masked”
  • ❌ Those who want to add artificial sweeteners or synthetic flavours
  • ❌ Candidates who have only worked on powders, tablets, or capsules
  • ❌ Anyone who talks theory but can’t deliver great-tasting prototypes
  • ❌ People who cannot build flavour without relying on sugar
  • ✅ Experience That Matters

  • 4–10 years in flavour houses , beverage development, kombucha, functional drinks, sports nutrition, or herbal shots
  • Background in creating real food or beverage formats , not pharma
  • Comfortable with spices, acids, natural sweetness, mouthfeel
  • ✅ Why This Role Is Special

    You will transform powerful herbal formulas into food-like products people crave .

    No PowerPoints — real products, real tastings, real impact.

    ✅ How to Apply

    Send your CV + examples of products you’ve worked on to harsh.doshi@hatabevtech.com
