Praxis represents a small roster of AI-savvy operators and places them into India's best-funded startups. Companies pay us. You pay nothing.
You use AI every day. You've built automations that run half your team's ops. You're doing the work of three people and getting paid like one.
We think you deserve an agent. Praxis maintains a small roster of operators who are genuinely fluent with AI tools. When the right role opens up at a funded startup, we come to you. We pitch you. We negotiate your salary. We only reach out when it actually matters.
No job board. No spam. No "exciting opportunity at a leading company" messages.
You need an operator who can own a function and use AI to do the work of a small team. Your recruiter keeps sending you people who put "AI enthusiast" in their LinkedIn headline. That's not the same thing.
We screen for real AI fluency. Not the buzzword. The actual daily practice: custom workflows, automations, agents, tools woven into how they work.
You tell us the problem you're solving, we send you three people worth talking to. Standard success fee. No cost until you hire.
Our roster is operators who sit in the gap between "business person" and "technical person." They're in ops, product, growth, program management, founder's office roles. What makes them different is they use AI as infrastructure, not as a novelty.
The people we represent have built things with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar tools. They have custom workflows. They've automated processes that used to take a team. They're the person everyone goes to when something needs to get done fast and well.
We don't roster people who are "learning AI" or took a weekend course. Nothing against them. But that's not what our clients are paying for.
There's a quiet divide in every company right now. On one side: operators who've figured out how to use AI to multiply their output. On the other: everyone else, still working the way they did in 2022.
Startups want the first group. But they can't find them through job boards, and most recruiters can't tell the difference between someone who "uses AI" and someone who builds with it daily.
That's where we come in. We've built our entire practice around identifying, vetting, and representing this specific kind of operator. It's all we do.
Clinical psychologist turned startup operator. Scaled teams from 15 to 350 at Loop Health (YC W20). Has recruited at every company she's worked at and brings a psych-informed lens to evaluating people. She conducts every screening call personally.
Physics grad from BITS Pilani. Co-founded and scaled Stoa. Builds the AI systems that run Praxis and handles the founder-to-founder sales. Uses Claude Code, Cursor, and n8n daily — so evaluating AI fluency is first-hand, not theoretical.
No. Companies pay us a placement fee. Because that fee is a percentage of your salary, we're actually incentivized to negotiate you a higher number.
Ops, product, growth, program management, founder's office, chief of staff. Semi-technical roles at funded Indian startups paying ₹18 LPA or more. We don't do engineering hiring.
We screen everyone before adding them to the roster. We're looking for operators who are daily active AI users with real workflows, not people who opened ChatGPT twice. The screening is a short call, not an exam.
Typically within a week of taking your mandate. We already know our roster. We're not posting your job and waiting for applications.
We learn why and send you three more. The first shortlist is how we calibrate. Most of our clients interview at least two of the three we send.
We're open to US or global companies hiring operators based in India. The candidates are India-based.
For operators who want representation, or founders who are tired of interviewing people who can't ship.
