I remember reading in one of their tech blogs that they like their small tech team since they get the job done well. So it's probably unlikely that they'll hire more. But if they do(and they have) it's very likely through referrals.

Zerodha questions- Grapevine

Applied through instahyre, got instant message but with lay offs going on and startups taking on VC funding, do you think it's a good place to work? 

In startups I have been people just care about getting it done and not getting it done correctly and pushing shit if it breaks just to get off the hooks.

Is it like this? Which companies are like zerodha in terms of developing stuff while looking at the bigger picture?

How is upstox for developers?

It's getting more and more salary obsessed and culture obsessed with young minds and mid level folks these days. While it's important that those two are important, sometimes I wonder how founding folks build a team that feels together, ships fast with great quality, don't give up on each other and stay longer in the company.

If you have been a part of such teams or managing such, leave thoughts here on what helped to achieve that state - could be how framworks, culture, customer obsession, etc are used.

Leave your thoughts. How do you build an engineering team that stays together for decades when building early startups?

India’s Best Startups In Terms Of Tech And Future Product Growth

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

Essentially want to know if Zerodha/Finshots/Ditto/Rainmatter pay well? TIA

How good/bad does Zerodha group cos pay?

I understand that companies want to start new year with new energy. But doing it in the last working week of this year is just nuts. 

Let folks enjoy the year. Do it in Jan first/ second week. 

By doing now, you’re literally spoiling this year and the next. 

To founders out there: grow some spine, tell your investors you won’t do it now. I don’t think it’ll hurt your company much (I mean you’ve not done enough, and that’s the reason you’re in this mess, probably suck it up and wait for few more weeks) 

To the folks out there, who got impacted, my heart goes out to you all. Good luck. Market is tough, but I know you guys will make it.

[rant]- What’s up with startups? Sudden layoffs in literally last working week of this year

They  opt for dec, because its quarter ending. The books will appear cleaner from Jan and that  quarter will look better when it ends.

It has nothing to do with new energy from new year.  Its like they clean the old shit to prepare for new shit.

Hi

Which are some true product focused companies in India?

Product focused companies in India

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

It'd be great if it can match most of the following criteria:
- Remote (not a hard constraint, flexible hybrid works)
- Profitable (good 4%+ QoQ growth in last 2+ years)
- Revenue = 50 million USD+
- Revenue/employee = 250k+ USD
- Employees = 200+
- 0/1 silent/public/PIP induced layoffs conducted in last 2+ years)
- Good Work life balance
- Less politics

Creating this thread to help the laid off folks look for their next company.

Which tech companies in India have a strong product and a long runway?

The restructuring comes just a few weeks after Ola Cabs initiated preliminary discussions with investment banks for an IPO.

Ola Cabs CEO Hemant Bakshi quits, company plans to lay off 10% staff as part of restructuring exercise

OLA is a tough place to work

Heard lots of stories about the person on right. Too volatile, jittery.

Time for the monthly hiring thread! 

Please mention the name of the company and role/functions that they’re hiring for 

Please post only roles you can verify are open - so we don’t waste anyone’s time 

If the company isn't well known, sharing some context might help
