Account Executive

**About NovaBenefits**:

- NovaBenefits is on a mission to provide the best in class health and wellness benefits for employees in India. We envision that a vast majority of the country's population will get better access to high-quality healthcare through their employers.
- We are a tech-first company and believe that technology can make this vision a reality by offering a 10x better experience and fixing the broken processes for all stakeholders - Employees, Employers, HR admins, Insurers, and Healthcare providers.
- At Nova, we're looking to create and own the employee wellness category. In a short span of 15 months, we've built an outstanding team, achieved product-market fit, raised double-digit millions in funding and become the first company to secure an IRDAI Insurance broking licence. The difference? We see ourselves in the business of improving employee happiness instead of insurance and as such more an HR tech company.
- Nova Benefits has been co-founded by Yash Gupta (IIT Delhi - Comp Sci, Samsung Korea) and Saransh Garg (IIT Bombay, BCG, Accel, Y-Combinator). We are backed by the top venture funds in the country - BVP, SIG, Better Capital, Titan Capital and Multiply Ventures.
