Who are we looking for

• Someone early in their career who is genuinely hungry, mouldable, and already obsessed with finance
• Someone who reads balance sheets on a Saturday, has opinions on screener.in, and watches finance creators to understand how they think, not to kill time.

What youll be doing

• As a writer at Zero1, youll write across the full range of our content — long-form YouTube scripts, Shorts, Reels, and everything in between — covering business, the economy, startups, and the geopolitics that shape Indias financial landscape.

• Youll also repurpose strong stories across formats and platforms, turning one piece of research into multiple pieces of content that each work on their own.

• We go deep on Investing, Trading, Business, Economy, Finance, and world events — and steer clear of politics, religion, and news.

Role and responsibilities

• Write and proofread original content across formats, pitching 2–3 fresh topics every week.
• Repurpose strong stories across formats: turn a long-form script into Shorts, a research deep-dive into a Reel, a single insight into content that works everywhere.
• Research deeply — read annual reports, SEBI filings, research papers, and primary sources. Find the one fact nobody else has reported and build a story around it.
• Convert a story into a clear visual brief the video production team can run with.
• Track how your content performs and use what you learn to make the next piece sharper.
• Stay on top of markets and business developments — not the noise, the signal.
• Bring a working understanding of capital markets to everything you write.

What you need to apply

• 0–3 years of experience in writing — freshers with strong portfolios are welcome.
• A genuinely strong writer with a clear voice and sharp communication skills.
• A working understanding of how markets, businesses, and the economy function.
• A knack for finding the small, surprising detail that most people miss.
• Openness to feedback and a real desire to keep getting better.
• Ability to collaborate with internal teams and ship before the deadline.
• An ownership mindset. You own what you write, end to end.

Brownie points

• If youve written finance or business scripts for YouTube
• If you can present and narrate the script you wrote.
• If youve worked with a YouTube creator or built a channel from scratch.
• If you regularly use screener.in, Tijori, or similar tools for your own research.
• If youve found a data point or fact that isnt on the internet and built a story around it.

How we write

• • We write for insight.
• • We write for impact. SEOd stuff is a big no-no.
• • Our work is easy to understand for everyone who is just getting started.
• • We write the kind of content you send to a friend.

Perks

• • Comprehensive health insurance.
• • Compensation as per industry standards.
• • A front-row seat at Indias fastest growing financial media network — as it grows.
• • The chance to lead new content initiatives as we scale.

Interview process

• We aim to wrap up within two weeks:
• 1. Intro call with our team
• 2. A short writing task
• 3. Second round
• 4. Final round
