Founder’s Office roles

“We have witnessed a new trend this year. This time our students have got a lot of Founder’s Office roles for the start-up ecosystems. Start-ups grow to a certain extent with the founding team. After that they are unable to grow because they don’t have talents to take over the growth propositions. So, they are hiring our students to support the founding team. This year we had a lot of good start-ups which came with Founder’s Office roles,” Jammulamadaka said. These roles were offered by OLA, Newme, ParkStreet, PoshN and Kofluence among others.

The season saw the participation of many first-time recruiters like Jio Financial Services, Hero Fincorp, Yubi, Sobha Realty, Sirius AI, Husk Power Systems and DMI Finance.

According to Jammulamadaka, looking at the market conditions, IIMC was ready for the long haul and focused on diversifying the recruiter base and building student resilience. “We must say, the institute has been successful in this regard. The Joka Spirit of “we leave no one behind” is one of the greatest strengths of the Joka community comprising students and alumni has helped us weather the tough conditions,” she added.
