We're Building the Future of Connected Living—Are You Brave Enough?

No sugar-coating. No false promises. Just brutal honesty.

We're a
bootstrapped
, stealth-mode startup in Calicut (hybrid until you earn our trust), tackling Smart Homes, Healthcare & Geriatrics, and Intelligent Inventory. Cash is scarce. Stakes are life-changing. Every rupee, every prototype, every decision matters.

The Grind

  • You'll juggle
    15 hats
    a day: PCB design one hour, soldering sensors the next, then pitching suppliers at dusk.
  • Cash flow
    is a tightrope—one wrong move, and the dream stalls.
  • Expect
    100 rejections
    for every yes—learn to smile through the pain.
  • Your brain will
    live and breathe IoT
    —even in the shower.
  • Work-life balance?
    A myth. Burnout is real. Growth is glacial.

Your Mission

  • Own
    the hardware stack: microcontrollers, sensors, BLE/Wi-Fi, PCB → production.
  • Architect
    firmware: RTOS, ultra-low power, secure OTA updates.
  • Shape
    product strategy—define our vision and face investors' toughest questions.
  • Build
    a lean, mean team—every hire, every rupee, every KPI bootstrapped.

Who Survives

  • 3+ years in embedded/IoT with
    real-world, shipped
    products (consumer or industrial).
  • Wizard in controller integration, RF comms, sensor fusion, power management.
  • Battle-tested by startup scars—survived sleepless nights, budget droughts, crushing deadlines.
  • Mission-driven
    : equity upside excites you; salary security bores you.
  • Calicut-ready
    , or willing to prove your grit remotely first.

Why This Matters

No cushy VC deadlines. No ping-pong tables. Just pure, undiluted
ownership
of a hardware revolution. When we succeed, lives change—and you hold a massive slice of that victory.
