National Key Account Manager Full Time

Who We Are:

We are a Bangalore based health-food brand. We are one of the most recognized nutrition led food brands in the

country. We are purpose-driven and on a mission to make the country eat healthier.

We believe in honest food labels and balanced nutrition. We take the harder route and make our products tasty

without loading them up with junk ingredients. We do it because we all truly believe in our mission.

The company is founded by sisters Anindita and Suhasini Sampath (LBS, Wharton, IIM-C, and BITS Pilani). Yogabar

has been nominated as one of the top women-led Indian startups by various publications.

We are venture-capital funded and our institutional investors include SAIF Partners and Fireside ventures. We also

have several distinguished industry leaders as investors and active members of our board.

What we offer:

We have an aggressive, fast-paced, and mission oriented culture. We promise significant autonomy and room for

experimenting.

Our culture is centered on respect, innovation and growth.

We offer the same (if not better) perks that everyone else offers. Though some have claimed that they are likelier to

eat healthier and live longer because of their association with us.

We advise that you judge the authenticity ofsuch claims with a pinch of low-sodium Himalayan Pink Salt.

Also, lots of free yummy food. That your doctor, nutritionist, and mum would approve of.
