Opportunity brief
About Chauffit
Chauffit is a safety-first, on-demand driver service for people who own a car but can't always, or shouldn't, drive it themselves. Customers book a professionally verified and assessed driver within minutes, for their own car, and pay only for the trip.
We are building the most trusted way to get your car driven, starting with Gurugram, where we launch in November 2026. Our apps are live, and we are a small, ambitious team focused on safety, reliability and an exceptional customer experience
About the Role
The Founder's Office is where the company's most important problems land first. As our Founder's Office Intern, you will work directly with the founders on the questions that will shape Chauffit's first year: who we raise from, which customers we win first, and which partnerships we build.
This is a thinking-and-execution role, not an assistant role. You will be given real problems, be expected to form a point of view, and see your work used in investor meetings and business decisions.
Location: Gurugram (Hybrid)
Duration: 6 months, with potential conversion to a full-time role
Stipend: ₹20,000 per month
