Join Us. Make a Difference.

Become a part of our team to build Praesidia with shared values and unifying organizational objectives.

Having successfully built organizations from scratch, Praesidia Management strongly believes that success of a business, be its science or balance sheet or social impact, depends on the organizational culture of the company.



Praesidia is a team where every individual takes ownership in every aspect of the organization and is not driven merely by their job responsibility on paper.



The building blocks of the Praesidia team are experts who are not only passionate about what they do but also have the conviction that their passion will translate into meaningful impact under the Praesidia umbrella.



If you are such an individual who believes that the organizational goal is always larger than any personal glory, then do look out for our important position requirements posted here in the future.
