Product @ Meraki Labs 

TL;DR
If you are a product enthusiast who wants to build and fund game-changing companies. 

Location: 
Bengaluru, Karnataka 

What we do:
We are building one of India’s first venture studio focussed on deep tech. 

We don’t just build thesis and fund early-stage companies, but also prototype and incubate startups in-house. We want to use deep tech innovations and go after meaningful, hard-to-solve problems. We are driven by radical impact, not just incremental improvements - we believe this would come from ideas that truly scale to the next billion, or build frontier technologies in India. 

Our areas of interest include:
1.    Enterprise AI solutions
2.    Healthcare and Biotech
3.    Space tech
4.    Clean energy
5.    Quantum computing

The team:
Our founder, Mukesh Bansal, is a serial entrepreneur, starting with Myntra and then founding Cure.fit. He is an active investor in the Indian ecosystem with early investments in Groww and Skyroot

Our investors and mentors include some of the most marquee venture capital investors globally, along with successful entrepreneurs and operators in the Indian ecosystem.

What you would do:
●    Build detailed investment/incubation thesis: You would conduct in depth industry primers and understand the landscape along with potential opportunities for disruption
●    Generate and validate customer insights: You will have to get your hands dirty, gathering customer insights and driving on-ground visits to be able to validate the investment thesis 
●    Incubate new ideas: You would explore and tinker with new ideas, internally or with future entrepreneurs who don’t have a specific idea yet, and go through the 0-to-1 journey of building companies (surely, with some failed attempts!). 
●    Build prototypes of ideas: You’ll work on developing prototypes for new ideas by collaborating with internal teams and entrepreneurs. This includes translating concepts into tangible products and quickly testing MVPs to assess feasibility.
●    Achieve product-market fit: You’ll work on achieving product market fit through constant experimentation—testing hypotheses, building MVPs, and creating feedback loops to continuously iterate using user input and market signals to guide improvements.

Also, we are a start-up ourselves. From our strategy and branding to rituals and internal team building, there is a lot to be done on our journey to become a leading incubator of great companies.

What we are looking for:
●    Experience: 3-5 years of experience in product management. Experience in building 0-to-1 products is a strong plus.
●    Demonstrated problem-solving skills: You should have a proven ability to tackle challenging, undefined problems, regardless of brand or title.
●    Ability to handle tech, design, and business aspects: You can seamlessly balance technical, design, and business aspects to take a product from 0 to 100. 
●    Growth mindset: You have a passion for learning about diverse topics, enjoy testing new ideas, and continuously seek feedback and learning opportunities.
●    Self-drive: You’ll be working in a highly self-managed team, co-creating objectives and key results (OKRs) rather than relying on traditional management. You enjoy taking ownership of ambiguous projects and pushing them forward.

We might not be the right match, if:
-    You thrive in structure - you value clear scope of work and deliverables, predictability, and top-down management. 
-    You enjoy strategy but not execution - you don’t want to pick up the operational work of speaking with customers, finding and onboarding suppliers, writing ad copies, and building MVPs. 

If this sounds exciting, we can’t wait to talk to you and discuss this further.
