For someone who isn't yet fully formed — but is fully committed to getting there.
Read this first.
No two days here look the same. Today, a market research brief. Tomorrow, a script for the founder's podcast. Next week, a sales push or a branding exercise. The week after, a business proposal.
If you need a fixed job description to feel safe, this isn't for you. If the variety is the point — keep reading.
About AIWO Limited
AIWO is a Chennai-based longevity and wellness ecosystem with mentoring at its core — built on the belief that the best way to grow people is to put them inside real problems and teach as the work gets done. We operate across 20+ business units spanning wellness, clinical care, nutrition, retail, technology, and content. The Founder's Office is where strategy, execution, and learning collide every single day.
What this role is
You'll work directly alongside Sai Harshini, who sits at the centre of AIWO's strategy, research, content, and business development. You'll be an extension of her output — and in doing so, build skills across more domains in one year than most people accumulate in five.
We're not looking for someone with all the answers. We're looking for someone hungry to find them: someone who reads, thinks laterally, moves fast, communicates clearly, and doesn't shrink from new challenges.
What you'll actually do
Your work will shift with what's live in the business. A realistic picture of the range:
🔍 Research & Analysis — Research markets, competitors, business models, and emerging trends across any sector. Synthesise findings into clean, founder-ready briefs. Track AIWO's active business units and surface what matters.
📈 Strategy & Business Development — Help build business plans, SBU evaluations, proposals, and pitch decks. Populate frameworks, validate assumptions, stress-test ideas. Support competitive mapping and market-entry assessments.
✍️ Content & Communications — Produce content for the founder's digital presence: social, podcasts, video scripts, and written pieces. Draft executive-level emails and documents. Turn rough inputs into polished outputs.
🚀 Sales, Marketing & Branding — Step in when the business demands it — this is not a spectator role. Support campaign thinking, brand positioning, go-to-market planning, and client outreach.
⚙️ Execution & Operations — Own tasks end-to-end. Research isn't done when it's drafted — it's done when it's delivered. Coordinate teams, track timelines, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
What we're looking for
Ignore the job title. Here's what actually determines fit:
The traits that matter most —
Eagerness to learn: you read without being told to and ask questions without being prompted
Teachability: you take feedback without defensiveness and apply it immediately
Lateral thinking: you bring a perspective and connect dots others miss
Reliability: when you say it's done, it's done
Adaptability: you shift gears mid-day without losing effectiveness
Ambition: you want to understand, build, and eventually lead
Practical skills that'll make you effective —
Strong written English (clear emails, tight briefs, structured documents)
A real research instinct — finding information, judging its quality, packaging it usefully
Basic numeracy and comfort with spreadsheets and data
Direct, proactive communication
Comfort with AI tools — to think faster and better, not to replace your own judgment
Bonus points (not required):
Any exposure to branding, marketing, or sales — even self-taught or freelance. Experience running a social page, creating content, or building something of your own. A startup or small-business background where you figured things out without a manual. A second language (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or any Indian regional language) is a plus — English is the only must.
What you'll gain
This isn't passive learning. You'll be in the room where decisions are made — and expected to contribute to them.
Direct reporting line to Sai Harshini, inside strategy, research, content, and business development at the highest level
Hands-on experience across six domains in real business situations, not simulations
The ability to say, within a year, that you've contributed to live decisions across multiple sectors
Real execution skill — getting things done under pressure
A professional identity built on range, not just depth
For the right person, an expanding scope with no artificial ceiling

Work arrangement
