We're hiring in Bengaluru

Help us bring AI to the physical world.

Aviha builds delegate, a personal assistant for the real world: tell it what you need, and it gets it done.

What we do

We are building the assistant every Indian home will run on.

Every home runs on dozens of small tasks. Someone has to find the tailor, chase the plumber, stand in the queue and pick up the dry cleaning. Someone also has to pay the bills, book the doctor's appointment, renew the insurance, chase the bank and follow up when things go wrong.

delegate is the one place a household turns to for all of it. People simply say what they need, and our AI works out the task, finds the right vendor or runner, and stays on it until the job is done.

Behind that simple promise is a hard problem. AI has to meet messy real world operations, inside people's homes, and earn their trust every single time. That is the problem we wake up for.

  • “I need a gardener for 1 hour”gardening
  • “Cooker's handle is broken, need it fixed”repairs
  • “2 shirts for dry cleaning, pickup today”dry cleaning
  • “Hold my RTO token”standing in line
  • “Book a dermatologist near me for Saturday morning”bookings
  • “Renew my car insurance before it lapses”paperwork
  • “Pay my electricity and broadband bills this month”bills
  • “Chase the bank about my card refund”follow ups

Our mission

AI should not be a privilege of the few. It is a right for the many.

We believe AI in India can only reach its full potential when it is deeply part of the services economy and gives real value to every consumer. That means the tailor's needle, the gardener's soil and the everyday running of every household.

True progress is not a statistic. It is the moment every home is looked after a little better and every service provider gets more from their day because of technology.

Building together since 2018. Aakash and Somangshu have worked side by side for years, so you join a leadership team that already knows how to disagree well, decide fast and ship.

How we work

How we do anything is how we do everything.

These are not posters on a wall. They are how decisions actually get made here, and they are exactly what we look for when we hire.

Execution over planning

01

A rough thing shipped on Tuesday beats a beautiful deck on Friday. We ship, learn and iterate.

Problem first

02

We fall in love with problems, not solutions. Understand who has it and why before building anything.

User first

03

Our users are households and the people who serve them. They are not personas. They have phone numbers.

Long term thinking

04

We compound. We turn down short term wins that cost trust, options or team health.

Experimentation over biases

05

Opinions are hypotheses. Data settles debates, not seniority and not whoever argues loudest.

Hire and grow exceptional talent

06

Every hire raises the bar, and we grow people faster than the company grows.

Growth mindset

07

Feedback is fuel. Curiosity beats ego, and we would rather be corrected than comfortable.

Crawl, walk, run, fly

08

We do the work by hand first, in one society and one household, before we even think about scale.

Data and analytical rigour

09

“I feel like it worked” is not an answer. We bring the number, and we let it change our minds.

How we hire

Three conversations, and an honest answer fast.

Our process is designed to see how you think and work, not how well you interview. Every candidate goes through the same steps, and independent interviewers decide together.

1. Exploration

30 minutes

A one to one conversation about your journey, the work you are proudest of and what you think of delegate.

2. Problem solving

45 minutes

A live working session on a real problem from delegate. We care about how you think, not what you already know.

3. Culture fit

60 minutes

A conversation with a founder about how you work, how you treat people and what you will never compromise on.

You will hear back from us within 3 working days of your last round. We never leave candidates hanging.

Open roles

Come build the founding team.

All roles are full time and based in our Bengaluru office.
