CAREERS AT UPCHAR SETU

Build something that matters.nEvery single day.

Upchar Setu is building the home care infrastructure that families in Gujarat have always needed — but never had. If you want your work to mean something to real people, this is where you belong.

📍 Based in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. Growing across Gujarat.

Why people choose to build with us.

🌱 Early. Meaningful. Yours to shape.

Upchar Setu is at the beginning of its journey. That means the decisions you make here matter, the problems you solve are real, and the impact you create is visible. This is not a role where you are one of thousands. You will be one of a few — and it will show in everything we build.

🏠 Work that touches lives directly.

We are not building an app for entertainment or a platform for transactions. We are building the thing that gets between a family and crisis — that gets a verified nurse to an elderly patient’s home, a physiotherapist to a stroke survivor, a doctor to someone who cannot travel. Every role here is connected to that outcome.

🤝 A team that believes what it says.

CRAFT — Compassion, Reliability, Accountability, Family First, Trust Building — are not words on a poster. They are how we make decisions, how we treat each other, and how we serve every family that trusts us. We look for people who already live by these values, not people who need to be taught them.

📍 Building Gujarat's home care future.

We are starting in Bhavnagar — a city that has been underserved in home care for too long. Our vision is to bring this model to every major city in Gujarat. The people who join now are the ones who will shape how that happens.

What we actually mean by our values.

01

Compassion

We never forget there is a patient and a family at the end of every decision. When we are tired, when timelines slip, when something is hard — we come back to that. The person waiting at home is why we do this.

02

Reliability

We show up. We do what we say we will do. If something goes wrong, we fix it and we own it — we do not explain it away. Families depend on us. That is not a burden; it is a privilege.

03

Accountability

We do not hide behind process or blame the system. If something under our responsibility went wrong, we say so, we learn, and we make it right. Everyone here — from the founding team down — holds themselves to this standard.

04

Family First

Our patients’ families are not just end-users. They are the reason we exist. And our own team’s families matter too. We build a culture where people can do meaningful work without sacrificing the people they love.

05

Trust Building

Trust is earned slowly and lost quickly. Every interaction — with a patient, a family, a partner, a colleague — is an opportunity to build it or break it. We choose to build it, every time, even when no one is watching.

No Open Role That Fits?

If you believe in what we are building and want to be part of it — even if there is no open role that fits exactly — we want to hear from you.

Are you a nurse, physiotherapist, social worker, or other care professional?

Joining Upchar Setu as a care professional is a separate process from our team roles. We verify, credential, and onboard care professionals into our network — so they can provide home-based care to families across Bhavnagar and Gujarat.

WHAT THE PROCESS LOOKS LIKE

  1. 1. Register — Share your details and professional background through our application form.
  2. 2. Verification — We review your credentials, qualification documents, and background.
  3. 3. Onboarding — Shortlisted professionals are onboarded, briefed on our care standards, and assigned to families.

Honest words about building something new.

We are early. That means some days things are figured out and some days they are not yet. If you need a fully built system and a perfectly defined role, this may not be the right place for you — yet. But if you want to be the person who helps build those systems, who defines those roles, who makes the decisions that shape how things work — this is exactly the right place.

We are small on purpose, for now. Every person here has a real voice. We do not have layers of approval for things that should move fast. We trust our people to make good decisions — and we back them when they do.

We are in Bhavnagar. This is not a Bangalore or a Mumbai startup. We are building something that serves this city and this state — and we are proud of that. The best people to build this are people who understand what it means to grow up in Gujarat, to care for parents in Gujarat, to want Gujarat to have better health infrastructure. If that is you, we are glad you found us.

Questions about working with us.

Is Upchar Setu hiring only in Bhavnagar?

Currently, yes — we are building our first city team in Bhavnagar. As we expand across Gujarat, we will open roles in additional cities. If you are based elsewhere in Gujarat and interested, write to us at hello@upcharsetu.com and we will keep you in mind.

What is the difference between a team role and joining as a care professional?

Team roles — City Coordinator and Sales u0026amp; Outreach Executive — are employment positions within the Upchar Setu organisation. Care professional roles (nurse, physiotherapist, social worker, doctor) are network positions — you are verified, onboarded, and assigned to patients as part of the Upchar Setu care network. The application process and terms are different for each.

Do care professionals need to be registered with a professional council to join?

Yes. All care professionals must hold a valid registration with the relevant regulatory body — nurses with the Indian Nursing Council or state equivalent, doctors with the National Medical Commission (NMC), physiotherapists with their state council or IAP. Registration and credentials are verified before onboarding.

Is the Social Worker role a sales role?

No. The Social Worker role at Upchar Setu has no sales target. The role is focused on supporting patients and families through illness, recovery, and long-term care — helping them navigate support systems and access available resources. This is a care role, not a commercial one.

How do I apply for a care professional role?

Apply through our care professional registration form at upcharsetu.com/waitlist#professional. You will be asked for your professional background, qualifications, and registration details. Our team will review your application and contact you to discuss the next steps.
