Company Summary Zenskar is building new-age billing and pricing infrastructure for SaaS companies. As SaaS pricing evolves from vanilla subscription-based models to more granular usage-based models, billing and pricing infrastructure needs to be completely reimagined. Zenskar is founded by Apurv Bansal and Saurabh Agrawal, who sold their previous startups to Snapdeal and Gaana respectively. They have experience at organizations such as Google, Basepair, Elevation Capital, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and Harvard Business School. We are building our founding team, and are looking for folks who are excited about learning and meaningfully shaping the trajectory of an early-stage startup from Day 0 in its journey. We enable SaaS companies to seamlessly generate bills and monitor usage for their customers. Over time, we will offer an entire bouquet of products related to billing, usage monitoring, pricing, forecasting, accounting, and related analytics. Why Join Us We don't take ourselves too seriously and know how to have fun. We're building an institution for the long term and believe in forging deep relationships. The health of our team is most important to us. We have closed an angel round of funding, and have commitments for our seed round, which ensure that we're well-capitalized for the next 2.5 years!
