Role Description

We are looking for a  builder at heart —someone who truly loves  South Indian sweets and snacks  and feels proud of the legacy, culture, and craft behind them.
This role owns the  soul of our products .
You will lead the journey from  traditional recipes to scalable, world-class products —owning  product development, standardisation, quality assurance, and manufacturing execution  end to end. This is not a desk role. We are looking for someone who is excited to  roll up their sleeves , work alongside makers and teams on the ground, solve hard problems, and  build systems, teams, and capabilities from scratch .
You will play a defining role in shaping how millions of customers experience authentic South Indian snacks—today and for the next decade.

Who You Are

You have  deep respect for food, craft, and consistency , and believe great brands are built in factories as much as in boardrooms
You are equally comfortable  experimenting with recipes , setting  rigorous quality standards , and scaling manufacturing without compromising taste
You take  personal ownership  of outcomes and hold yourself and your teams to the highest ethical and quality standards
You enjoy  building teams, mentoring talent, and creating a culture of pride and accountability
You are energized by ambiguity and enjoy  building from zero to one

Experience & Background

Hands-on experience in  snacks and/or sweets product development
Prior experience  building and leading food product or manufacturing teams
Strong understanding of:
Recipe development and standardisation
Quality assurance and food safety
Manufacturing processes and scale-up
Educational background in  Food Technology / Food Engineering  is preferred
Experience in  snacking, traditional foods, or culturally rooted products  is a strong advantage
Entrepreneurial mindset  or a proven track record of  building systems, products, or capabilities from scratch  is a big plus

Why This Role Matters

This is a  once-in-a-lifetime opportunity  to help build a brand that:
Preserves the authenticity of South Indian snacks
Brings them to a national and global audience
Sets new benchmarks for quality, hygiene, and trust

If you care deeply about food, take pride in craftsmanship, and want to  build something enduring , this role will define your career.
