Co-Founder – Product & Technology

Mumbai based Role (HQ) | Global Category Creation | Consumer Hardware Innovation

About Us

We are building a world-first consumer device that will redefine behaviour, challenge convention, and disrupt a multi-trillion-dollar global industry.

This is not another gadget. It’s a new category creation — born at the intersection of design, technology, and human psychology. Our founding vision is to build a brand and product platform that inspires global adoption, creates meaningful change, and positions India as the epicentre of next-gen consumer innovation.

We’re assembling a small, world-class founding team that combines creativity, science, and engineering excellence — and we’re now looking for our Co-Founder – Product & Technology to lead this revolution from prototype to global scale.

The Role

As Co-Founder – Product & Technology, you’ll be the architect and driver of the product vision, translating concept into tangible, globally compliant hardware. You will lead the journey from idea → design → manufacturing → certification → launch.

This is a zero-to-one leadership role, demanding both strategic depth and sleeves-rolled-up execution. You’ll work alongside the Founder to :

  • Build and lead the product, design, and engineering roadmap.
  • Shape the technology architecture, manufacturing strategy, and global scalability plan.
  • Partner with world-class ODM and EMS teams in India, Southeast Asia, and China to bring a breakthrough device to market.
  • Lead compliance and certification (CE, FCC, BIS, IEC, etc.) for global readiness.
  • Design for manufacturability, sustainability, and long-term cost efficiency.
  • Balance speed, safety, and performance through iterative prototyping and testing.
  • Collaborate with design, marketing, and supply chain partners to deliver a premium consumer experience.
  • Build a high-performing product and engineering culture that thrives on curiosity, ownership, and creative problem-solving.

Who You Are

We’re looking for a rare mix of engineer, builder, and visionary — someone who can imagine the impossible and make it real.

You may have led product and tech at a hardware startup, consumer electronics, or IoT company, or built from scratch within a global organization. You’re not afraid of ambiguity or constraints — in fact, you thrive on them.

Preferred Background

  • 10–20 years in hardware product development, IoT, consumer electronics, or wearables.
  • Strong experience in end-to-end product lifecycle : concept → DFM / DFX → prototyping → mass production.
  • Experience working with ODMs / EMS partners in India, China, or SE Asia.
  • Familiar with certification and compliance frameworks (CE, FCC, BIS, UL, etc.).
  • Proven ability to build and scale cross-functional teams (engineering, design, QA, supply chain).
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with experience in startups or early-stage ecosystems.
  • Excellent understanding of BOM optimization, costing, and supply chain management.
  • Strong technical foundation (Electronics, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or related fields).
  • A believer in design thinking, rapid prototyping, and iterative learning.

    • What You’ll Get

  • Co-Founder equity and leadership ownership in a globally ambitious company.
  • The chance to build a category-defining consumer brand from India for the world.
  • Access to a global network of design, manufacturing, and innovation partners.
  • Opportunity to work on technology that blends behavioural science, wellness, and human-centric design.
  • A platform to create not just a product — but a cultural movement.

    • The Mindset

    We’re not looking for an employee — we’re looking for a founder-builder. Someone who dreams big, executes relentlessly, and sees beauty in detail. Someone who believes that hardware can be emotional, not just functional. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
