2e:T43d,Hey there! I'm Rachit, the Director of the Founder's Office at Lucidity, a Series A B2B SaaS startup. I've worked in the Founder's Office roles for over 3 years. Previously worked as an Investment Banker at Goldman Sachs. Over the last few years, we've seen a massive rise in the demand for the Founder's office roles, with practically every startup looking for one. Having interacted with multiple founders, VCs, Chief of Staff, and other fellow Founder's office folks, I've realized that there is very limited information out there on the internet regarding these roles, which creates a lot of confusion while preparing for the Founder's office roles. Hence, leveraging my experience and network, I would love to help you out in your journey - from resume formation to prepping case studies, and even help with referrals and assignments for these roles. Let's talk and take your first step towards your dream job! I've also started a channel on YT as well to debunk some myths regarding founder's office roles.

In a typical week you might move across strategy, fundraising support, board updates, hiring, and special projects. In India, startups from seed to Series C are actively hiring for it, and it is widely seen as a fast track to senior leadership or a Chief of Staff position because of the direct founder and investor exposure it gives."},{"question":"What is a Founder's Office associate role, and who gets hired for it?","answer":"A Founder's Office associate works one layer below the Chief of Staff, supporting the founder on strategy, business operations, analytics, investor updates, and cross-functional projects. Most associates in India come with 1–4 years in consulting, investment banking, or early-stage startups, and structured thinking usually matters more than a specific degree. It is essentially a generalist role where you learn how a startup runs end to end, which is why it often leads to strategy, product, or operations leadership later."},{"question":"What is a Founder's Office intern role, and can freshers apply for it?","answer":"A Founder's Office intern supports the founder's office on market research, competitor analysis, data work, pitch material, and day-to-day execution. These internships are far less advertised than regular startup internships, so most people land them through cold outreach or referrals rather than job portals. For students and freshers, it is one of the fastest ways to get founder-level exposure early, and strong interns in Indian startups frequently convert into full-time Founder's Office roles."},{"question":"How to get a Founder's Office role in India without an IIT or IIM background?","answer":"Most Founder's Office roles in India are never posted on job portals — they get filled through referrals, founder networks, and direct outreach. What works: a one-page resume that shows ownership and cross-functional impact, reaching out to founders or Chiefs of Staff with specific ideas about their business, and preparing for case-style questions on growth, pricing, and operations. Your college matters far less than structured thinking, hustle, and proof that you can handle ambiguity."},{"question":"How to prepare for a Founder's Office role from scratch?","answer":"Build three layers. First, business fundamentals — unit economics, go-to-market, fundraising basics, and how startups scale. Second, structured problem-solving — practise case studies like market entry, growth levers, and \"what would you do in your first 30 days\" questions. Third, positioning — a resume rewritten around impact rather than responsibilities, plus stories that show ownership in messy, ambiguous situations. Learning from people who have actually worked in these roles and doing mock interviews shortens the curve significantly."},{"question":"What is the Founder's Office role salary in India for early-stage and growth-stage startups?","answer":"The Founder's Office role salary in India varies widely with startup stage and your background. Associates at early-stage startups typically earn roughly ₹8–18 LPA, while candidates coming from investment banking or consulting, or joining well-funded growth-stage companies, can command ₹20–35 LPA or more. ESOPs are usually a meaningful part of the offer. Indian salary platforms and direct conversations with people already in these roles give the most realistic benchmarks for your level."},{"question":"Founder's Office roles in Mumbai and Bangalore — where and how can you actually find them?","answer":"Mumbai and Bangalore have the deepest demand in India, but they skew differently — Founder's Office roles in Mumbai cluster around fintech, consumer, and D2C startups, while Founder's Office roles in Bangalore lean towards SaaS and deep tech. Very few of these openings appear on portals. Set LinkedIn alerts, track venture firm portfolio pages, follow Chief of Staff communities, and write short, specific outreach messages to founders — targeted outreach converts far better than mass applications."},{"question":"How to prepare for a Chief of Staff interview?","answer":"Treat it as a generalist-strategy interview, not a functional one. Prepare case-style answers on prioritisation and trade-offs, behavioural stories that show you drove outcomes without formal authority, and a sharp point of view on the company's strategy and the CEO's biggest current problem. Practise thinking aloud in a structured way and bring thoughtful questions — Chief of Staff interviews judge you heavily on judgment, communication, and how comfortably you operate in ambiguity."},{"question":"What are the most common Chief of Staff interview questions?","answer":"Expect questions like \"How would you prioritise conflicting demands from the CEO?\", \"Walk me through a project you owned end to end\", \"How do you manage stakeholders who don't report to you?\", \"What metrics would you put in front of the CEO every week?\", and \"Tell me about a time you handled sensitive information.\" Interviewers use Chief of Staff interview questions mainly to test structured thinking and ownership, so the strongest answers combine a clear framework with specific numbers and outcomes."},{"question":"What does the Chief of Staff interview process look like at startups?","answer":"It usually runs 3–5 rounds over two to four weeks: an intro with HR or the founder, a case round or take-home on a real strategy or operations problem, panel conversations with function heads you would work alongside, and a final culture round with the CEO. Some companies replace the take-home with a live case. Responding quickly, sending structured follow-ups, and referencing specifics from earlier rounds signal exactly how you would behave in the job."},{"question":"How to start an investment banking career in India?","answer":"The standard route runs through campus placements at IITs, top commerce colleges, and IIMs or ISB, so target summer internships at banks while you are still studying. Off campus, the levers are networking and referrals, financial modelling and valuation skills, CFA Level 1, and direct outreach to analysts and associates. Domestic boutiques and Big 4 transaction teams are realistic entry points too — many people start there and laterally shift into global banks after two or three years of deal experience."},{"question":"How to get investment banking jobs in India as a fresher?","answer":"Fresher hiring is concentrated around a small set of campuses — IIMs, ISB, and select IIT and BBA programmes — so on-campus access matters a lot. Outside campus, success depends on technical preparation (DCF, comparable company analysis, LBO basics), genuine interest in deals, and referrals from people already in the industry. Global banks hire smaller, high-intensity classes, while domestic players such as Avendus, Kotak, and Axis Capital hire in larger numbers and are strong starting points."},{"question":"What is the investment banking career path in India, and how long does each stage last?","answer":"The investment banking career path follows a defined ladder: analyst for 2–3 years, associate for another 2–3, then vice president, director or executive director, and finally managing director. Junior levels are about execution — modelling, pitch books, and process management — while senior levels depend on winning clients and mandates. In India, many analysts exit after 2–4 years into private equity, venture capital, or corporate development, so the path often branches rather than running straight to MD."},{"question":"Investment banking career path salary in India — how much can you earn from analyst to MD?","answer":"At global investment banks in India, analysts typically earn roughly ₹20–35 LPA including bonus, while domestic banks and boutiques usually start in the ₹10–20 LPA range. Associates step up significantly, and VP-to-MD compensation is heavily bonus-driven and can reach crores at senior levels. Treat these as directional ranges — the investment banking career path salary in India moves with the bank, the desk, the deal cycle, and the bonus pool in a given year."}]}}]] 22:null 26:[["$","title","0",{"children":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi"}],["$","meta","1",{"name":"description","content":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi · Strategising shifting base to the UAE · 1:1 Call · 45 mins · ₹1,100 · Topmate"}],["$","link","2",{"rel":"manifest","href":"/manifest.json","crossOrigin":"$undefined"}],["$","meta","3",{"name":"robots","content":"index, follow"}],["$","link","4",{"rel":"canonical","href":"https://topmate.io/rachit_rastogi/1617388"}],["$","meta","5",{"name":"yandex-verification","content":"0c572762b08c1459"}],["$","meta","6",{"name":"facebook-domain-verification","content":"xewq3sfwoskylhfigrhakv2hy7zemf"}],["$","meta","7",{"property":"og:title","content":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi"}],["$","meta","8",{"property":"og:description","content":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi · Strategising shifting base to the UAE · 1:1 Call · 45 mins · ₹1,100 · Topmate"}],["$","meta","9",{"property":"og:url","content":"https://topmate.io/rachit_rastogi/1617388"}],["$","meta","10",{"property":"og:image","content":"https://topmate.io/cdn-cgi/image/width=1600,fit=contain,quality=90/https://sharing-image-assets.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/imejis_output%2Funknown%2Fb1b82317-bce9-488b-bb76-5fbdc2829e15.png?ogv=2"}],["$","meta","11",{"property":"og:type","content":"website"}],["$","meta","12",{"name":"twitter:card","content":"summary_large_image"}],["$","meta","13",{"name":"twitter:title","content":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi"}],["$","meta","14",{"name":"twitter:description","content":"Shifting base to the UAE with Rachit Rastogi · Strategising shifting base to the UAE · 1:1 Call · 45 mins · ₹1,100 · Topmate"}],["$","meta","15",{"name":"twitter:image","content":"https://topmate.io/cdn-cgi/image/width=1600,fit=contain,quality=90/https://sharing-image-assets.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/imejis_output%2Funknown%2Fb1b82317-bce9-488b-bb76-5fbdc2829e15.png?ogv=2"}],["$","link","16",{"rel":"shortcut icon","href":"/favicon.svg"}],["$","link","17",{"rel":"icon","href":"/favicon.svg","type":"image/svg+xml"}],["$","link","18",{"rel":"apple-touch-icon","href":"/favicon.svg"}],["$","$L30","19",{}]]
