A close friend of mine is looking to onboard a tech lead. Appending below the message from him:
We at Alternative (an 8 month old IIT-Delhi startup) are currently on the lookout for an exceptional individual with a background in technology to join us as the technology lead.
Through Alternative, customers are able to access different services (from home services to hiring a runner to getting laundry done to booking movie tickets etc.) which provide exceptional levels of customer delight. We are keen observers which has enabled us to understand the real issues customers face. We also work closely with our servicemen to gather further insights and come up with better solutions. Our team's focus on service delivery and unit economics has given us the unique positioning of being able to effectively tap the home services space with low cash burn.
Alternative was launched in Vasant Kunj, Delhi 2 months back. Through our long pilot run, we were able to fundamentally understand the root cause of the problems plaguing the home services market. This knowledge has helped us create a solution which is far superior than our competitors in terms of service delivery, transparency and customer retention.
We are currently focussing on the home services vertical and are in the process of scaling up after a successful pilot launch.
