The Role:
- Serve as a trusted advisor, confidant and ‘force multiplier’ to the Founders. The EA and founders work closely together to ensure the founder is able to achieve twice the output than they would do alone. This is a unique opportunity to see every aspect of a fast-growing Climate-Tech startup at the executive level.
- The role is expected to act as the eyes, ears and sometimes the voice of the founders, acting at times as an ‘efficiency & productivity hack’ that ensures seamless optimisation and prioritisation of the founders’ time.
Our Mission:
- Agriculture accounts for over 20% of global GHG emissions, and we believe that sustainable agriculture practices, or regenerative agriculture, has the power to reduce these while cooling the earth. Through technology, our goal is to understand the true environmental impact each farmer has on their land, and compensate farmers who change their farming practices to support climate change.

- Starting with Rice, the largest emitter within agriculture, our mission is to support small-holder farmers in transitioning from traditional farming to regenerative techniques with the goal of reducing and capturing GHG emissions.
- Mitti Labs uses machine learning, satellite imagery, and soil models to track farming practices, estimate GHG emissions, and compensate small-holder farmers for their transition towards more sustainable practices.
- We’re backed by leading global VCs (Lightspeed India and Voyager Ventures), all of whom passionately believe in our vision to change the world through regenerative agriculture.
