About GlobalBees

**GlobalBees — company profile** GlobalBees Brands Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian e-commerce roll-up company, built on the Thrasio model, founded in May 2021 by FirstCry founder Supam Maheshwari and Nitin Agarwal, formerly President and Group Chief Investment Officer at Edelweiss. It is a subsidiary of FirstCry and is based in New Delhi, with offices in Delhi and Bengaluru. GlobalBees acquires majority stakes in and partners with digitally native, direct-to-consumer brands, then scales them using shared infrastructure, and it targets brands with revenue run-rates in the range of roughly $1 million to $20 million. Its brand portfolio spans categories including beauty and personal care, home and kitchen, food and nutrition, sports and lifestyle, consumer electronics and appliances, health and beauty, and fitness and fashion accessories. The central thesis is that individual D2C founders hit a ceiling on capital, supply chain, marketplace expertise and logistics, and that a house-of-brands operator can supply those functions centrally; GlobalBees accordingly runs in-house teams across marketing, technology, supply chain and logistics, and product innovation. In December 2021, roughly seven months after inception, GlobalBees entered the unicorn club when Premji Invest, the investment firm controlled by Azim Premji, led a Series B equity round of about $110-111.5 million that valued the nine-month-old startup at over $1.1 billion; Steadview Capital and existing investors Lightspeed, SoftBank and FirstCry also participated. Nitin Agarwal later resigned as CEO of GlobalBees Brands, with Anuj Jain stepping in. The company's careers messaging states that it is 'expanding the hive', that it hires across multiple functions, and that it suits people who thrive in a fast-paced, quick-to-action workplace; it describes its employer proposition around an inclusive workspace ('The Ethos'), a diverse group of professionals across industries ('The People'), and rapid growth creating opportunity ('The Scope'). **Industry:** E-commerce Roll-up / House of Brands **Headquarters:** New Delhi, Delhi, India **Official website:** https://www.globalbees.com **Why work here as a fresher** GlobalBees is the kind of company where early-career talent is given real scope rather than busywork. Interns and freshers are placed on live problems, paired with experienced mentors, and reviewed on the same quality bar as everyone else. That combination — real ownership plus real feedback — is what turns a first role into a genuine career head start. **Culture** Expect a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment with flat communication, short feedback loops and a strong bias for action. Teams are small enough that your contribution is visible and large enough that you learn from people who have already solved the problem you are facing. Learning, curiosity and honest debate are valued over hierarchy. **Growth & hiring** GlobalBees hires internships across engineering, data, product, design, marketing, finance and operations, and a meaningful share of its early-career hires convert to full-time offers. All openings are published on the company's official careers page, and applications for this role are submitted directly to GlobalBees there — no middlemen, no aggregators.
