BigSpoon - Product Manager - IIT/NIT/BITS

About this role:

What differentiates a startup from a conventional organisation is the pace of growth, innovation and exponential scale with limited means and resources. Most importantly, however, it is the nature of the team that is brought together, to be a few steps ahead of the competition, establish product-market fit at a break-neck pace and execute the strategy.

BigSpoon Foods is emerging as India's leading Cloud Kitchen focusing on Tier-2 cities. In fact, we're the only Tier-2 focused cloud kitchen, and have cracked this niche and are scaling rapidly.

We've opened 66 kitchens in 28 cities over the last 2 years and are ON TRACK to launch another 100+ kitchens within the next 12 months. We're well-funded, growing rapidly, and have a solid team, but we're not enough to keep up with our high growth rates. We need you!
