ABOUT FRISS INDIA:

Friss India is a fast-paced, lean and execution-driven startup building an integrated ecosystem across AI, FinTech, EdTech, SaaS, eCommerce, business services, franchise models and technology-enabled business infrastructure.

You will work directly with the Founder & CEO and will have significant ownership across business operations, revenue generation, strategic partnerships, expansion and execution.
