Founder's Office Internship

About Chauffit Chauffit is a safety-first, on-demand driver service for people who own a car but can't always, or shouldn't, drive it themselves. Customers book a professionally verified and assessed driver within minutes, for their own car, and pay only for the trip. We are building the most trusted way to get your car driven, starting with Gurugram, where we launch in November 2026. Our apps are live, and we are a small, ambitious team focused on safety, reliability and an exceptional customer experience About the Role The Founder's Office is where the company's most important problems land first.
