Job description

PlanetsIX is building a Human Intelligence ecosystem designed to help founders, leaders, and organisations understand the human and structural factors influencing business performance.

Our work sits at the intersection of business, people, behaviour, decision-making, research, and technology.

One of our key initiatives, the Business Pulse Report, helps founders identify patterns, dependencies, organisational gaps, and structural challenges that may otherwise remain invisible.

What You’ll Work On

As part of the Founder’s Office, you will work across multiple functions rather than being limited to one department.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Conducting market, competitor, industry, and customer research.
• Supporting the founder on new business ideas and strategic initiatives.
• Researching trends around entrepreneurship, SMEs, leadership, organisational behaviour, AI, HR, and business transformation.
• Helping analyse user feedback and insights from the Business Pulse Report.
• Creating presentations, reports, research documents, and founder briefs.
• Supporting partnerships, outreach, collaborations, and business development initiatives.
• Coordinating with marketing, design, content, product, and external teams.
• Tracking key projects and ensuring follow-ups and deadlines are maintained.
• Converting ideas discussed by the founder into clear, actionable plans.
• Supporting content research for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, blogs, reports, and thought‑leadership initiatives.
• Assisting with experiments around customer acquisition, product positioning, and go‑to‑market strategy.
• Taking ownership of special projects across the business.
  

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are extremely curious and enjoy understanding how businesses work.
• Can research a completely unfamiliar topic and quickly make sense of it.
• Communicate clearly in written and spoken English.
• Are comfortable working with Google Sheets, Excel, PowerPoint/Google Slides, and AI tools.
• Have strong attention to detail.
• Can work independently without requiring constant instructions.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities.
• Think in terms of solutions rather than simply identifying problems.
• Can take an idea from a conversation and turn it into execution.
• Are interested in entrepreneurship, startups, consulting, strategy, marketing, or organisational behaviour.
  

What Matters More Than Your Degree

Curiosity > Credentials

Ownership > Experience

Execution > Ideas

Learning Speed > Existing Knowledge

What You’ll Get

This role gives you direct exposure to:

• Working closely with the founder and leadership team.
• Building a new‑age business from an early stage.
• Business strategy and problem‑solving.
• Marketing and customer acquisition.
• Product and proposition development.
• Research and consumer insights.
• Business operations and execution.
• Real‑world decision‑making where your work can directly influence what the company does next.
• Stipend: ₹15,000–₹20,000 per month, depending on experience and skills

This is not a typical internship where you spend months doing one repetitive task.

You will be expected to learn quickly, take ownership, ask intelligent questions, and contribute wherever the business needs you.
