Ugaoo is rewriting the playbook for how India discovers, experiences, and grows with plants. We’re a new-age, high-velocity D2C brand sitting at the sweet spot where lifestyle meets nature, driving a movement that’s making green living not just accessible — but aspirational.
With a fast-scaling product ecosystem, a growing nationwide footprint, and a community that’s deeply invested in conscious living, we operate with the hustle of a startup and the heart of a purpose-led brand. Our teams thrive on ownership, collaboration, and a shared ambition to build something genuinely category-defining.
Our culture is our operating system — energetic, transparent, feedback-driven, and anchored in curiosity and accountability. We’re building a workplace where people feel empowered to challenge the status quo, experiment fearlessly, and grow into the best version of themselves.
As we enter our next hyper-growth phase, we’re doubling down on the power of people. To unlock the next chapter of scale, we need a culture architect who can elevate how we attract, develop, and inspire talent across the board.
That’s where the Head of People & Culture comes in —a strategic thinker and culture builder who can help shape Ugaoo’s next phase of growth. This role will work closely with the Founder and leadership team to design an organization that’s not just high-performing, but also deeply human.
