Job Description

City CEO – Nashik

Location: Nashik | Working Days: 6 days a week | Reporting To: Central Leadership

About the Role

Nashik is one of India's most complex and high-value agri-labour markets. As City CEO – Nashik, you will own the full city P&L-style operating engine across labour supply, farmer demand, allocation, execution, and team leadership. This is not a desk role or coordination role — you will be the final owner of whether Nashik runs smoothly on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

• Labour Supply Ownership: Build and manage local and migrant labour sourcing pipelines; own onboarding, verification, rate negotiation, and first-job activation; build supply depth for peak-season demand
• Allocation & Marketplace Execution: Manage allocation teams matching labour to farms; design micro-clusters for efficient movement; ensure daily fulfilment and resolve issues quickly
• Farmer Demand & Relationship Management: Own the farmer journey from booking to execution to feedback; ensure pricing discipline; personally handle key farmers and escalations
• Team Leadership & District Operations: Hire, train, and mentor sourcing, allocation, and farmer-facing teams; set daily/weekly KPIs; act as final decision-maker for Nashik operations

What Success Looks Like

Predictable labour availability across peak seasons; high farmer fulfilment and repeat usage; reduced last-minute escalations and cancellations; strong worker retention; ground teams operating independently without constant HQ intervention.

Preferred Backgrounds

City or cluster operations roles in food delivery, logistics, commerce, mobility, or hyperlocal platforms; district or city manager roles in gig-work or marketplace businesses; agri-input, agri-trading, horticulture, labour contractor, or rural distribution businesses. Experience in horticulture value chains — especially grapes, onions, or pomegranates — is a strong plus.

Why This Role Matters

Nashik is one of India's most important agri-labour markets, with high-value crops, seasonal labour complexity, migrant worker flows, and demanding farmer expectations. What we build in Nashik will become the blueprint for scaling Bharat Intelligence across India.
