Do you breathe startups?
Most important: Do you love therodinhoods?!
As you know, we’re nearly 8000 members now. To fuel the fire, keep apace and scale, we need to add a Business Writer to our team!
So who exactly are we looking for?
Someone who:
– writes immaculately (great command over English)
– writes fast – thinks of an article and jumps into it immediately (a non-procrastinator!!)
– understands startups, startup jargon, follows and consumes entrepreneurship-related content regularly
– is people friendly (errr… we are a community!) and a team player
– has excellent communication skills (you’ll need to play email-email with lots of folks, plus pitch-in with managing the community!)
– loves interviewing people and writing about their ventures
– strives to be a perfectionist (we curate our content in a certain way)
– is passionate about helping people
– enjoys covering startup events (the ones that happen in your town!)
– is social media-savvy (if you love twitter – you get extra brownie points!)
– is in her/his 20’s [our new member demographics indicate the average age is 23! Alok & I are young at heart but aren’t really in our 20s 🙁 so we need a different perspective!]
– is kicked by the idea of having a rodinhood email id 🙂
– doesn’t limit herself/himself to JDs
In a nutshell, we’re looking for a passionate person who is truly a thinker.doer.
Our Business Writer will be reporting to the Editor (that’s me) and not Alok (He has three other companies to run!). So if you are okay with exchanging dozens of emails with me every single day, then only apply. 🙂 [always better to clarify, naa?!]
You will be expected to assist with some of the day to day admin functions apart from writing (we did mention juggler!). Though we’d prefer an experienced startup/biz writer, we are open to proficient writers from other fields who are keen, hungry, fast learners and errr persistent!
This position is a full time one. As you know, we are building India’s most happening community of entrepreneurs which demands a lot of time, energy, effort, passion and commitment.
You dig?! Then write to asha@rodinhood.com mentioning:
i) Your top 3 favourite articles on trhs (excluding Alok’s posts!)
ii) 3 things you love most about trhs
iii) 3 things you’d like to change/add to trhs
iv) Lots of reasons why you think you are THE right candidate for this position!
v) Expected remuneration
vi) Links to stuff you’ve written before
vii) Around 750 words on ANY startup/venture that has influenced you/your thinking.
viii) Your CV would also be welcome 🙂
ps: Just because we’re adding a writer to the team doesn’t mean we won’t encourage rodinhooders to feature other rodinhooders…. 🙂

Hi Asha,
This is Sanghamitra from BI India and I am looking for a change. I am based in Delhi and managed to grow some traction with start-ups (I run a series on them in BI) and found this opening pretty exciting. Do you think I will fit the bill? Just wanted to ask informally, if you say yes, I can send in all the details. Here is my CV anyway, for you to have a quick glance.
Warm regards
