Renting in India can be a nightmare. Think about it: visiting countless houses, arguing over rent, losing money to brokers, sticking to 11-month contracts, and spending lakhs of rupees into furnishing. It's a lot, and honestly, we deserve better.
This is where Flent comes in. We're creating a new standard of urban renting for India.
Now imagine walking into a home that feels like it’s straight out of a lifestyle magazine - fully furnished, beautifully staged, all you need to bring is your clothes and your vibe. No need to persuade landlords, no dealing with brokers, and no 11-month lock-ins. It’s not just a vision; it’s what we believe the top 1% in India truly deserves.
We started Flent because we were fed up. Trying to find a decent place in the city was a nightmare. But beyond the frustration was a deep-seated passion for home decor and an eye for detail that we couldn't ignore. Numbers revealed that ~$10 Bn is spent annually on urban renting — and that was the tipping point. It convinced us of the potential to craft the future of renting, designed for those who demand more and compromise less.
Flent is backed by top-tier VCs and angels. Since our inception in Jan’24, we’ve launched 100+ homes in Bangalore, went viral on X more than we imagined, and crossed $1,000,000 in annual GMV.
As our first People & Culture hire at Flent, you're setting the tone for the kind of company we want to build — not just the one we are today. You’ll own everything from hiring our next 25 teammates to shaping how it feels to work here. We’re growing fast, and this role is crucial to ensuring that we scale intentionally — with the right people, the right values, and the right systems.
This is a high-ownership role. You’ll work directly with the founders. We’re looking for someone who can think like a founder when it comes to people: someone who gets excited about building culture, process, and talent infrastructure from scratch, and who thrives in fast-paced, messy, ambitious environments.
Build and run our talent engine
Own the entire hiring process — from role scoping and JD writing to sourcing strategy, interview design, and candidate experience. You’ll work closely with founders to forecast needs, define what great looks like for each role, and bring in the kind of people who raise the bar.
Codify our culture and help it come alive Today, our values live in Notion pages, Slack messages, and founder 1:1s. You’ll help turn that implicit culture into something shared, lived, and reinforced — through rituals, onboarding, team practices, and hiring criteria.
Run people operations with structure and care
Build and maintain systems for onboarding, payroll, reimbursements, benefits, compliance, and internal policies. Ensure these processes are clear, scalable, and easy to navigate for the team.
Design and run our upskilling & learning programs Whether it's founder training, access to learning budgets, speaker sessions, or peer learning — you’ll be responsible for helping Flent employees grow faster than the company. You’ll figure out what people need, design systems to deliver it, and make learning a core part of our culture.
