- You'll operate with high autonomy, taking ownership of business execution in India while ensuring deep alignment with Injala's mission, product strategy, and global standards.

Create and Develop Top Talent:

- Identify, mentor, and develop high-potential employees into future leaders.

- Deliver tough feedback and handle performance issues decisively but constructively.

Drive Talent Brand and Outreach:

- Build Injala's employer brand in Gujarat through campus outreach, community presence, and tech events.

Implement and Drive OKRs:

What You Bring:

- 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in tech-driven companies, ideally with exposure to both product development and business operations.
