We are Licious, a Bengaluru-based meat and seafood company founded in 2015 by Abhay Hanjura and Vivek Gupta — our founders, foodies, and friends.

Read on… **What makes the role meaty?** - **Sales & Revenue Ownership:** Own the store's daily, weekly and monthly sales number — not just its execution.
