About Gravity

Gravity is building the operating system for India's home interiors and renovation industry. Today, more than $40 billion of home interior material purchases are controlled by Interior Designers and Studios, yet procurement remains fragmented across multiple suppliers with unreliable fulfillment and limited visibility. Gravity brings together AI-native technology, strategic manufacturing partnerships, curated materials and an integrated supply chain to simplify how projects are designed, specified and delivered.

Mission of the Role

As Senior Corporate Counsel - Legal, your mission is to be Gravity's in-house legal backbone as the company scales its hub-based delivery model across studio markets and grows through acquisitions. You will own the full contracting lifecycle, lead legal due diligence and term sheet negotiation for M&A, build the compliance and internal control frameworks a multi-entity, multi-warehouse business needs, and be the person on the ground when litigation, police, or local administration issues touch Gravity's hubs and depots. This role sits close to the founders and the Studio GTM and Finance teams, translating legal risk into pragmatic, business-aligned decisions.

What You'll Own

1. Contracts and Commercial Drafting:

- Draft, review, and negotiate the full range of Gravity's agreements - vendor and manufacturing contracts, studio/dealer agreements, staffing and channel partner agreements, NDAs, leases, and logistics/hub contracts.

- Own the end-to-end contracting lifecycle: drafting from scratch, redlining counterparty paper, running negotiations, and closing on time, in step with business teams.

2. M&A Legal Due Diligence and Term Sheets:

- Lead legal due diligence on acquisition targets - corporate records, material contracts, litigation history, licenses, and title/encumbrance checks - and flag risk before signing.

- Draft and negotiate term sheets, SPAs/SHAs, and definitive agreements alongside the M&A and Fundraising lead, and run the legal workstream of post-merger integration for each acquired entity.

3. Compliance and Internal Controls:

- Own regulatory and statutory compliance across group entities - Companies Act, labour and warehousing laws, GST/e-way bill documentation, FSSAI/BIS where applicable - and keep compliance trackers current.

- Design and enforce internal control frameworks and approval matrices scaled for a multi-entity, high-growth business, and partner with Finance on audit and governance requirements.

4. Litigation, Dispute Resolution and On-Ground Risk:

- Manage litigation end-to-end - briefing external counsel, tracking case strategy and cost, and representing Gravity's interests in arbitration, consumer, and civil matters.

- Be the first legal responder for on-ground hub and warehouse issues - coordinating directly with local police, magistrates, and municipal or labour authorities to resolve disputes, seizures, or compliance actions quickly and pragmatically.

What We Are Looking For

Qualifications:

- LLB from a recognised institution; 6-10 years PQE, with meaningful in-house or law-firm exposure to commercial contracts, M&A, and compliance.

Core experience:

- Strong hands-on drafting and negotiation skills across vendor, staffing, and channel agreements; working knowledge of M&A due diligence and deal documentation.

Industry background:

- Retail, e-commerce, distribution, logistics, or building materials preferred - sectors with real warehouse, dealer, and last-mile complexity.

Builder profile:

- Comfortable operating without an inherited playbook, working directly with founders, and getting hands-on with ground-level issues rather than routing everything through external counsel.

Ground exposure:

- Demonstrated comfort engaging directly with police, courts, and local administration on warehouse/logistics-related matters - this is a distinguishing requirement for the role.

Location:

- Based in Bengaluru, with willingness to travel to hubs across East Bangalore and other studio markets as Gravity expands.

Why Join Gravity?

This is a rare opportunity to build Gravity's legal function from the ground up - shaping how a fast-growing, multi-entity, physical-goods platform contracts, acquires, complies, and defends itself, while staying close enough to the ground to solve real warehouse-level problems. If you want ownership over both the boardroom and the depot floor, Gravity offers the room to build a lasting legal function.
