Governance

Good people. Shared purpose.

Zeebaran brings people together to strengthen horticulture across the Himalayas. Our work connects orchard development, scientific practice, field operations, technology, and trade with the people who grow our food.

For anyone considering joining our team, these are the responsibilities, working principles, and shared purpose behind the work.

Working at Zeebaran

Different responsibilities. One connected team.

People doing the work

Practical knowledge. Careful execution.

From orchard and farm teams to research, operations, trade, and administration, every contribution supports a connected horticultural system. We value people who understand their work, keep learning, and take responsibility for the details that others depend on.

People leading the work

Leadership means taking responsibility for others.

The CEO, division heads, and team leaders connect the company’s purpose with everyday decisions. Leadership means setting clear priorities, supporting colleagues, listening to field experience, and being accountable for how the work is carried out.

How we work together

Clear ownership. Room to contribute.

Good teamwork starts with understanding what you are responsible for, how your work connects with others, and when to ask for support. We look for sound judgement, honest communication, and the willingness to follow through.

Responsibility belongs to every role, from the field team to the leadership team.

What we ask of one another
  • Take ownership of your work and communicate progress clearly.
  • Work respectfully with colleagues, growers, and partners.
  • Use evidence, ask questions, and learn from the field.
  • Raise risks and concerns early, rather than leave them for someone else.
  • Protect the quality of the work and the trust placed in the team.
Our working principles

The way we work matters as much as the result.

These principles guide how Zeebaran approaches opportunity, responsibility, and long-term decisions. For prospective colleagues and leaders, they offer a starting point for understanding the institution you would be contributing to.

01

Individual Dignity & Responsibility

People are agents with the capacity to make decisions - not beneficiaries to be managed.

02

Capability & Independence

Support should increase a person's ability to act independently over time, not create lasting dependence.

03

Open Competition

Competitive advantage should be earned continuously while strengthening the wider horticultural system.

04

Merit & Equal Opportunity

Opportunity should be determined by ability, character, and contribution - not by birth, relationship, or inherited position.

05

Long-term System Health

The long-term health of growers, markets, land, and institutions takes precedence over short-term extraction.

06

Commercial Durability

The institution must remain commercially sustainable so it can continue investing in people, capability, and the long-term health of the system.

Raising Concerns

Good institutions need a way to hear difficult things.

Every institution benefits from feedback it would not otherwise receive. Zeebaran provides clear and accessible channels for growers, employees, partners, and other stakeholders to raise concerns, ask difficult questions, and report issues in good faith.

The purpose is not to eliminate disagreement. It is to ensure that important concerns are heard, considered, and responded to - and that they cannot simply disappear within the institution.

Community consultation and field engagement meeting with farmers and growers

Bring your experience. Build with us.

Tell us about your experience, the work you want to contribute to, and why Zeebaran’s purpose matters to you. Whether your background is technical, operational, commercial, or in leading teams, a useful conversation starts with understanding one another.

Include your area of interest, relevant experience, and the best way to reach you. A clear introduction helps the team understand where your contribution could fit.
