Meraki Labs is a Bengaluru-based venture studio and startup incubator founded in 2020. It works with entrepreneurs from the earliest stages to identify problems, validate ideas, build products and launch technology-first companies. Meraki combines hands-on product, engineering, design and go-to-market support with early-stage capital, describing itself as both a company builder and investor. Its current work spans applied AI, education, enterprise software and other deep-tech areas. Publicly disclosed ventures include Nurix AI and Fermi AI, while current hiring also shows incubation work around enterprise AI agents, research tools and computational fusion. Meraki says it typically backs a small number of founders each year and can provide initial investment alongside a founding team.
Meraki Labs offers candidates the opportunity to work on 0-to-1 products across AI and deep-tech areas rather than maintaining a single mature product. Current work includes AI tutoring, enterprise AI agents, research tools and computational fusion. Public job descriptions emphasize small teams, direct access to experienced founders, high autonomy, production ownership and rapid learning across agents, retrieval, evaluation and distributed systems. Some engineering roles advertise meaningful ESOP and competitive compensation. The environment is explicitly fast-moving and ambiguous, with many Bengaluru positions requiring full-time on-site work, so it is better suited to candidates who value ownership and breadth over highly structured roles.
