Finance Manager

JD – Finance Manager

Location: Pune

Experience: 8-10 years

Employment Type: Full-time

Reports To: CEO

About the Company:

We founded Sakar Robotics to collapse fragmented point solutions into a single extensible mobile manipulation platform. Traditional automation requires bespoke integration per workflow—slow to deploy, rigid to evolve. We built a composable stack where perception, autonomy, manipulation and orchestration cooperate natively.

Guided by field feedback across regulated, high‑mix and throughput‑critical domains, we iterate on production reality—not lab abstractions—building durable leverage for customers.

Our mission is to deliver a unified robotics platform that can be rapidly configured to execute diverse workflows—reducing time‑to‑value, elevating safety, and embedding continuous improvement loops into daily operations.
