With active investments in 130+ startups, with 32+ successful exits, and 10+ renewable energy projects. We operate at the convergence of capital precision and operational depth.
Role Overview
Artha Group is seeking an Events & Community Associate to own the firm’s events end to end and anchor the operations of its Content & Community division. This is not a coordination role. The role calls for judgement and commercial sense in every decision: which venue, at what rate, for which guests, the value the firm derives from being in the room.
You will own events from planning and venue selection through negotiation, guest experience, on-ground execution and closure. Many of these events host HNIs, family offices, institutional investors and senior leaders from large organisations, making this a front-facing role that calls for poise, discretion and polish in every interaction. You will carry the same standard into podcast recordings and content production. You will also represent Artha in relevant communities, building the network that brings us speaking and panel opportunities, leads for relevant events, and strong participation at the events Artha hosts.
This role demands commercial judgement and operational precision in equal measure. Sharp instincts without disciplined execution, or flawless logistics without commercial sense, will not meet the requirements of this role.
