Co-Founder (Part-time, Equity Only)

Company: Kefilo

Location: Bhubaneswar (Hybrid/On-site Preferred)

Commitment: Part-time (20–25 Hours/Week) | Founding Team | Equity-Based

Kefilo is building a next-generation nutrition and wellness ecosystem focused on functional nutrition, preventive healthcare, food innovation, and nutrition intelligence.

We are not building just another cloud kitchen or healthy food brand. Our vision is to create a human transformation ecosystem by integrating food science, nutrition, technology, AI, smart manufacturing, and personalized wellness.

Our long-term roadmap includes building innovative nutrition products, AI-powered personalized nutrition, intelligent food production systems, retail expansion, healthcare partnerships, and world-class R&D capabilities.

We are looking for entrepreneurial leaders who are passionate about building a company from the ground up and creating long-term value.

This is not a traditional job.

As a Co-Founder, you will work directly with the Founder to build Kefilo across strategy, execution, team building, fundraising, product development, partnerships, branding, and business expansion.

We are looking for builders who are willing to take ownership of an entire business function and grow with the company over the next 5–10 years.

• Take end-to-end ownership of one or more business verticals such as Product, Operations, Marketing, Technology, Sales, Finance, HR, Food Science, R&D, or Business Development.
• Build teams, define processes, create SOPs, and establish scalable systems within your function.
• Conduct market research, validate opportunities, and drive execution from idea to commercialization.
• Work closely with the founder on company strategy, fundraising, investor relations, and long-term business planning.
• Build strategic partnerships with corporates, healthcare organizations, research institutions, manufacturers, distributors, and ecosystem partners.
• Drive product development, GTM strategies, customer acquisition, and business expansion initiatives.
• Represent Kefilo in meetings, networking events, startup programs, incubators, and industry collaborations.
• Build a culture of ownership, innovation, accountability, and execution across the organization.
  

• Individuals with entrepreneurial experience or strong leadership potential.
• Professionals from domains such as Business, Technology, Marketing, Operations, Food Science, Nutrition, Finance, Healthcare, HR, Product Management, or Strategy.
• Comfortable working in uncertain, fast-paced startup environments.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to independently lead projects and build teams.
• Passion for creating long-term impact rather than pursuing short-term employment.
• Based in or willing to travel regularly to Bhubaneswar, as this role requires active collaboration with the founding team.
  

• Opportunity to become a core co-founder of a mission-driven startup.
• Significant equity ownership with long-term wealth creation potential.
• Direct involvement in strategic decisions, fundraising, product innovation, and company building.
• Exposure to food technology, AI, nutrition, branding, operations, smart manufacturing, and startup leadership.
• Opportunity to build and lead your own business vertical with complete ownership.
• Work alongside a multidisciplinary founding team committed to building one of Indias most innovative nutrition companies.
  

• This is an equity-only co-founder opportunity.
• There is no fixed salary during the initial bootstrapping phase. Compensation will be introduced after fundraising and revenue stabilization.
• Our onboarding process includes:

• 3–4 strategic discussions with the founder.
• A 1-month NDA-based collaboration phase to evaluate mutual fit.
• Role definition and co-founder agreement.
• Equity allocation based on ownership, contribution, and long-term commitment.
• A 5-year vesting structure for all core founding members.
  

We are not looking for employees.

We are looking for entrepreneurs, problem-solvers, and long-term builders who are willing to take ownership, make difficult decisions, and help build a company that can create meaningful impact in nutrition and preventive healthcare over the next decade.

If that excites you, wed love to start the conversation.
