Entrepreneur in Residence
4 weeks ago
"Hello there,
I'm Amrut, an engineer by training and a teacher at heart. Fifteen years ago, I was following the well-beaten track of successful professionals with stints in finance and an MBA from Duke University, USA. However, I chose to pursue not the American dream but my own. I came back to India and embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship.
I'm a serial entrepreneur who has successfully built multiple education brands like Mindseed Preschools , Foundree Preschools , Vishwajyot High Schools , and now Firuta . These brands together employ more than 500+ people across 5 cities. I've seen firsthand the transformative impact that technology can have on learning and development, and now I want to scale that impact even more.
To this end, I have launched Firuta, a tech startup dedicated to building innovative solutions for learning. Currently, we're focused on developing an AI-based sales coaching platform designed to help sales representatives improve their skills, enable managers to coach their teams more effectively and personally, assist management in driving sales impact, and empower organizations to scale their sales efforts. We're already piloting with two of the largest FMCG companies in India, and are in the process of building our product. With clients in the pipeline, there's tremendous scope for growth as we scale.
I am looking for an Entrepreneur in Residence to join the founders' office and help drive innovation and growth within our organization.
Why This Opportunity Is Exciting
Take a Startup from 0 to 1 : This is a unique chance to be part of a startup in its earliest stages and contribute significantly to its growth and success. You'll experience firsthand what it takes to build a company from the ground up.
Work on Cutting-Edge AI Technology : You'll have the opportunity to work on the latest AI-driven technologies, shaping the future of sales coaching and learning platforms.
Taste of Entrepreneurship : This role will give you a real taste of being an entrepreneur. You'll be involved in strategic decisions and operational execution, learning the ins and outs of running a startup.
Convert Ideas to Reality : Your problem-solving skills will be put to the test as you identify opportunities and turn innovative ideas into real-world solutions.
Growth Potential : With pilots underway with major FMCG companies, there's immense potential for your professional growth as the company scales.
About the Role
In this role, you will have the opportunity to wear multiple hats and work across different functions—from product development to business strategy. You will be comfortable navigating ambiguity and thrive in an unstructured environment. You will be expected to think critically and come up with creative solutions to complex problems, especially in the context of AI-driven learning platforms and sales enablement.
You will be reporting directly to me, and you will find that I give my team a lot of autonomy in achieving their goals towards the purpose that binds all of us together. You will get thought-partnership and strategizing experience with me and my co-founders, and a seat at the table where your ideas will be heard and considered. But with great power comes great responsibility, so you will also be expected to roll up your sleeves and dive into the nitty-gritty details—whether that's conducting market research, building prototypes, or engaging with stakeholders (unless, of course, you can use ChatGPT to make your life easier—for that, you will not be penalized).
The limits are only what you set for yourself.
Despite being from the education sector (or because of it), I don't believe in vanity credentialing. I will not accept or reject your profile because you are not from a certain college, or because you haven't scored enough in your board exams, or because you haven't worked in a big multinational firm. I will endeavor to judge you merely on your skills, your attitude, your tenacity, your openness to feedback, and your willingness to learn.
What Are Those Skills, You May Ask?
This is a multifaceted role that requires a generalist mindset with an entrepreneurial bent. You should be able to think logically, identify opportunities, and develop innovative ideas to solve problems. Comfort with uncertainty and the ability to navigate unstructured environments are essential. Experience or interest in AI technologies, sales processes, and learning platforms would be beneficial. You might have 3 to 6 years of work experience in any role; you need not have a business or engineering degree. If you are the right fit, you will know more than me what skills are required to be successful in this role.
If this sounds exciting to you, send me a short note on why this is the right opportunity for you at (and also hit Apply here). Bear in mind that at Firuta we value diversity and do not discriminate on the basis of religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, or marital status.
Onwards,
Amrut"
