ABOUT GAJAB

Gajab is reimagining online shopping for India's next 100 million value-seeking users.

We're building India's first AI-powered bargaining marketplace — where technology negotiates on behalf of sellers, recreating the interactive, joyful bazaar experience at your fingertips.

Our Mission : To bring the real "desiness" of shopping online — the thrill of negotiation, the joy of getting a great deal, and the human touch of India's vibrant bazaars — all powered by smart technology.

We're bootstrapped with 1000+ days of runway, backed by founders with strong business track records and operational expertise. Pre-beta launches next month.

WHY JOIN GAJAB

Ground Zero Opportunity : Be the first operations hire. Build and own the entire ops function from scratch — your decisions will shape how millions shop.

Solve a Real Problem : Bring affordable, accessible shopping to tier 2 / 3 India while preserving the joy and culture of Indian bazaars.

High Impact, Fast Growth : Go from pre-launch to ₹100 Cr GMV (20 lakh orders / year) in 12 months.

Work Directly with Founders : No layers, no bureaucracy — execution-first culture.

Build Your Team : Hire, train, and mentor your own operations team aligned with your vision and Gajab's culture.

This isn't a "manage existing systems" role — it's a "build the engine while flying the plane" opportunity.
