Investment analyst and New Brand Partnerships Manager

Founder Office · Bangalore · Full-time

About the role

The Mission

NexTen Brands is a high-velocity house of brands founded by Rahul Singh (ex-Flipkart Category Leader). We don't just "invest"; we build. We partner with manufacturer-led brands to unlock their e-commerce potential through two distinct models: Direct Investment and our Revenue-Sharing Accelerator.


We are looking for a Growth Architect who can spot diamonds in the rough. This role isn't just about crunching numbers on a spreadsheet; it’s about finding the "soul" of a brand, understanding the founder’s grit, and having the strategic gut feeling to see a multi-crore brand where others only see a small factory.

The "NexTen" Persona

  • The Visionary Researcher: You are elite at primary and secondary research. You don't just read reports; you talk to founders, suppliers, and customers to find the real story.

  • High Common Sense & Gut Feeling: While we love data, we value the ability to see beyond it. You can sense a winner before the metrics prove it.

  • Persuasive Communicator: Your communication is high-level and compelling. You can articulate NexTen's value proposition to a veteran manufacturer with clarity and punch.

  • The Hustler: You are self-motivated and results-oriented. You don't wait for a lead list; you build a robust pipeline from scratch using every tool at your disposal.

Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs)1. Deal Sourcing & Lead Generation

  • Deep-Dive Research: Conduct in-depth market research to identify early-stage, manufacturer-led brands with high scalability.

  • Pipeline Engineering: Utilize industry databases, social media (LinkedIn/X), and professional networks to build a robust lead pipeline.

  • Trend Spotting: Stay updated on emerging brands and competitive shifts within the e-commerce and manufacturing sectors.

2. Qualification & "Beyond-Data" Evaluation

What You Bring to the Table

  • Education: Bachelor's degree from a Tier 1 college (Business, Economics, or related field).

  • Skills: Strong analytical thinking, business research, and critical thinking.

  • Technical Savvy: Proficiency in MS PowerPoint and Excel; familiarity with e-commerce metrics is a plus.

  • Mindset: A "Founder's Mindset"—high ownership, proactive initiative, and a belief in disruption.

  • Communication: Your communication is high-level and compelling. You can articulate NexTen's value proposition to a veteran manufacturer with clarity and punch.
