  • Able to work independently with minimal supervision in a lean team

Compensation & Engagement

  • Monthly Salary: ₹60,000 – ₹80,000 (pre-funding budget range)
  • Contract Type: Freelance / Consultant (under Company AI, Dubai entity)
  • Future Growth: Eligible for transition to a full-time senior role in Dubai post-funding.

Success Metrics

  • All statutory filings submitted on time; no compliance slippage
  • Accurate and live investor documentation/data room
  • MVP milestones met across vendors and internal stakeholders
