Product Manager, Software Engineer, UX Developer, Growth Marketer

Sridhar Arunagiri, founder of the Bengaluru-based asset management firm 16VC, has faced significant backlash after advertising unpaid job positions on LinkedIn. In a post from last week, Arunagiri announced vacancies for four roles—product manager, software engineer, UX developer, and growth marketer—emphasising that only "top performers" would be considered. He specified that these positions required working from the Bengaluru office, with no mention of any compensation.
