About the Opportunity
Vedika Hospitality Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is looking for an ambitious, entrepreneurial and execution-focused Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Co-Founder to join our founding leadership team.
We are building a technology-driven hospitality ecosystem designed to help hotels, resorts, homestays and hospitality businesses manage their operations, digital presence, customer engagement, revenue opportunities and technology requirements through intelligent and scalable solutions.

This is primarily an equity-based co-founder opportunity during the initial growth stage. The selected co-founder should therefore be comfortable creating long-term value through ownership rather than approaching the opportunity purely as a salaried technology position.

Why Join Vedika Hospitality?
Build From the Beginning
Become part of the founding technology team instead of joining after the platform has already been created.
Build for a Large Industry
Hospitality businesses increasingly require intelligent technology, automation, digital distribution and AI-driven decision-making.
Real Industry Problems
Our technology roadmap is being shaped around real operational requirements faced by hotels and hospitality businesses.
AI-First Opportunity
Help build next-generation AI-powered hospitality solutions rather than simply maintaining traditional hospitality software.
Ownership
Participate directly in the long-term value you help create.
Product Freedom
Play a major role in deciding what gets built, how it gets built and how the technology organisation evolves.
Long-Term Vision
Our goal is not to build a single application.
We aim to create a connected hospitality technology ecosystem capable of serving hotels, resorts, homestays and hospitality businesses at scale.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity may be suitable for you if you are:
A senior engineer who wants to become a founder.
A CTO looking to build your own company.
An AI engineer who wants to transform an established industry.
A product-focused technology leader looking for meaningful equity ownership.
Or an entrepreneur who believes the hospitality industry is ready for the next generation of AI-powered technology.
If you are looking only for a conventional salaried position, this opportunity may not be the right fit.
But if you are excited about building technology, building a company and creating long-term value through ownership, we would be interested in speaking with you.
