At AgResearch Labs (ARL), we're reimagining how India grows, sources, and moves foodbecause clean, safe, and fairly priced food should be accessible, not exclusive.

We are a small, execution-driven core team building climate-resilient clean food systems across farms, operations, and markets. At ARL, things don't move because of hierarchythey move because people take ownership.

The Founder's Office is where priorities turn into action.

This role is for someone who wants to work closely with founders, understand how decisions are made, and ensure execution happens on the groundnot just in meetings.

• Work directly with founders to translate priorities into execution.
• Manage calendars, meetings, follow-ups, and action tracking.

• Ensure documents, materials, and operational tasks are completed and delivered on time.
• Track meeting outcomes and ensure no critical action item slips.
• Support hiring coordinationshortlisting, scheduling, and follow-ups.

• 75,0001,00,000/month compensation with PF and Insurance.
• Direct exposure to founders and strategic decision-making.
• A steep learning curve across operations, governance, hiring, and execution.

In a small core team, your growth is directly linked to your ownership.

Probation & Performance Review

We are a small but strong core team. Reliability, intent, and cultural alignment matter deeply at ARL.

This role will begin with a 3-month probation period. Confirmation into a full-time permanent role will be based on performance during this period.
