Job details:
Most people slow down after 50. Some start their most meaningful work.
We are looking for that second kind. Not for a job. For a Co-Founder & Retail Head Seat.
Company Description DIVYAH दिव्यः is a devotional commerce marketplace combined with a spiritual information channel and ritual knowledge ecosystem, designed to make puja, festival rituals, and spiritual living accessible for modern lifestyles. The platform offers artistic idols and yantras, curated puja essentials and ready-to-use festival kits, as well as vastu, feng shui-inspired decor, and home puja and hawan services. Guided, step-by-step rituals help individuals and families perform practices with ease, correctness, and confidence, without compromising authenticity or spiritual depth. Rooted in vedic traditions and accurate mantra pronunciation, DIVYAH aims to simplify the common challenges of performing the right rituals with the right materials and methods, transforming devotion into a seamless everyday practice.
Role Description This is not a typical retail business. We are building a scalable, trust-led category (Ritual-as-a-Service).
The Opportunity
We are looking for a seasoned Retail Leader (50+ preferred) to join as a Co-Founder, bringing:
- Deep operating experience
- Strong judgment built over decades
- Ability to scale retail with discipline
This role is for someone who wants to build a meaningful second innings with ownership.
This is not about chasing trends. This is about building something grounded, cultural, and scalable.
We are specifically looking for someone who:
• Has spent decades in retail / FMCG / distribution
• Has run operations, not just advised on them
• Understands what actually works on the ground
• Is ready to commit full-time in Delhi NCR
• Is willing to invest capital, not just time
What you get is not a role.
You get:
• Ownership
• Equity
• The chance to build something from first store to national scale
• A serious second innings — not a passive one
This will require:
• Daily involvement
• Decision-making under uncertainty
• Building from zero again
No titles. No shortcuts. No “consulting mindset.”
But if you’ve ever felt:
“I still have one solid build left in me”
Then this may be worth a conversation.
If this resonates, send me a message with:
• What you’ve built or scaled
• Why you’re not done yet
Let’s build something that lasts.
