However, it also mentioned a monthly salary of ₹ 20 lakhs, leading to confusion among readers. Many on social media pointed out the mistake, highlighting the discrepancy in the salary calculation. The job listing described the role as one that provides strategic financial support to the firm's founder. It mentioned additional benefits, including an annual retention bonus of ₹ 3.25 lakh and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) grant of the same amount. Screenshots of the post were shared on the platform X, where users expressed amusement and offered comments about the error. Some jokingly suggested the firm really needs a finance professional for its team. The company has been contacted for clarification regarding the job post but has not yet responded.
