Careers
No openings posted. Write anyway.
DEWI does not advertise roles it does not have. What it does have is more work than hands, and a habit of growing people into the jobs that appear.

There is nothing open today
DEWI is not a company with a headcount plan. It is a collective run by its founders, its governing council, and the members who take work on because it needs doing. When a role opens it is usually because the work outgrew the person already doing it.
We would rather say that plainly than post a list of vacancies that do not exist. If you are reading this page because you want to work with the collective, the honest answer is: write to us anyway, and tell us what you would take off our hands.
What working with DEWI is actually like
The rhythm is monthly. A gathering has to be arranged, a venue confirmed, a speaker briefed, a workshop set up, two member presentations slotted in, and an evening run to time. Around that sit the signature events — the Maaya Bazaar, the Bathukamma celebration, the Awards, Fashion Week, the Christmas Carnival — each of which is a production in its own right.
The work is practical and public. It involves venues, vendors, sponsors, photographers, and a room full of women who will tell you exactly how it went. People who enjoy it tend to be organised, unbothered by last-minute changes, and comfortable holding a standard.
Everything runs out of Hyderabad, Telangana, India, with chapters growing beyond it. Some work happens on WhatsApp at odd hours; a lot of it happens standing up, at a venue, on the day.
How people usually start
Almost everyone who works with DEWI started by helping at an event. It is the fastest way for both sides to find out whether the fit is real — you see how the collective operates, and the governing body sees how you work when something goes wrong at seven in the evening.
From there, people take on a recurring piece: a chapter, a channel, a sponsor relationship, an initiative. Roles here are grown into, not advertised.
Where the work sits
The four shapes a role here tends to take
Not vacancies. These are the areas the collective keeps needing more of, and where a speculative application is most likely to land.
Events
Running the monthly gathering and the signature events end to end — venues, vendors, run of show, stalls, registration, and the hundred things that move on the day.
Content & communications
The podcast, the interviews, the newsletter, the social channels, and the writing that carries the collective's voice. Photography and video editing sit here too.
Chapter coordination
Standing up and holding together a chapter — recruiting members, arranging the local gathering, and keeping the chapter in step with the rest of the collective.
Partnerships & sponsorship
Bringing in the sponsors, brands, and institutions that make the events possible, and looking after them properly once they are in.
What we look for
Less a CV than a way of working.
- You have run something with a deadline and an audience, and it worked.
- You write clearly and answer messages.
- You are comfortable around women's businesses, artisans, sponsors, and press in the same afternoon.
- You keep confidences. A great deal is said in the room in trust.
- You are willing to start at an event rather than at a desk.
How to apply
Send a speculative application to tridewi@gmail.com. Put the area you are interested in and your name in the subject line. Tell us what you have run, what you would want to take on here, and when you are free to help at an event. A short note and a link to your work is more useful to us than a long CV.
Volunteering with NEEV Foundation — the collective’s social work on eldercare, girl child education, environment, emergency care, health and hygiene, and rural women — goes to the same address. Say so in the subject line and it reaches the right people.
We read everything. We do not always reply quickly, and we will not invent a role to fill. If something opens that matches what you sent, we will come back to you.
