Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) – TorqWars, competitive RC racing (Mumbai)

About TorqWars
TorqWars is building India's competitive RC racing. We are a sports-entertainment business running on three engines: experience-led arenas with timed racing, a league, and a D2C store for RC cars and parts. Our first arena opens soon in Bandra, Mumbai, and we are backed by The Foundery. You will work directly with the founders.

Role overview
You will work across the business with the founders, taking on the most important problem of the month and solving it end to end: opening the arena on time, fixing a supply issue, setting up a new sales channel, or building a process that does not exist yet. You will move between strategy and on-ground execution in the same day.

Key responsibilities

• Own founder-priority projects end to end, from framing the problem to a shipped result.
• Step in where the business is stuck: operations, supply chain and vendors, D2C, partnerships, finance or hiring.
• Build the operating rhythm: trackers, dashboards, weekly reviews and decision notes.
• Run quick analyses and models: unit economics, pricing and scenarios.
• Set up new processes and hand them over to a function owner once they work.
• Represent the founders with vendors, partners and investors when needed.

Requirements

• Experience in a startup, consulting, investment or founder's office role, or as a founder. Senior candidates welcome, and so are 3–5 year candidates who have grown fast.
• A track record of solving messy, cross-functional problems end to end.
• Strong with numbers: spreadsheet models, unit economics and quick estimates.
• Clear written and spoken communication, including one-page decision notes.

What we offer

Hiring process
A short AI interview, a call with a founder, a 48-hour assignment on a real problem, a working session in Mumbai with reference checks, a final conversation with our co-founder, and an offer within 2 weeks of the first call.
