Things you should know before you apply
We are looking for the best of the best, it's just very tough to make a D2C or any digital FMCG/skincare play work without the highest end of talent. And then we are looking to back them and work with them to remove any obstacles that might come in their way. We can accomodate many differences in people, in a wide variety of situations, but expect to showcase deep diligence, hard work and dedication if you join, we get rapidly anxious if we don’t see diligence as a core character in people.
Failure is okay in the short term, and if demonstrably because of factors outside of your control even in the long run, but the lack of diligence, focus, sincerity is not okay in any run. We believe in Talent Density as inspired by Netflix, so we work hard to remove anything that comes in the way of our work environment being diligent, focused and productive. That includes people, who our larger group believe, are not being their diligent best at work.
This is not a bean bag company, nor a table tennis company, nor a fooz ball company, maybe we are a meditation company, but if the meditation is thought through enough to make you more productive :-) We love all these things bean bags, table tennis and some of us maybe even fooz balls, but not at work, we are quite old school that way, we believe focus is the number one thing at work, we believe in silence, we believe diligence, creativity and debate. We believe in everything that can lead to more meaningful outcomes for all our stakeholders which includes customers, employees, partners, vendors, investors and more people that we couldn’t pen down. But we believe that in order to be able to serve them all extreme focus, dedication, diligence and commitment is required
If you have an identifiable personal situation we will work with you as much as possible to make sure we help you get through it. No one can easily feel happy without constructively trying to help someone genuinely aggrieved. We have worked with team members through every situation which includes medical illnesses, family medical issues, just a personal need to take time off to study for an exam, or sabbatical to figure life out. Everything is possible as long as you communicate efficiently, openly, honestly and give due notice/timely information for us to be able to make arrangements. Of course the more committed you are to the company and the more you drive its growth, the more you will be able to get from this experience on all counts, but the key message here being, we are flexible for meaningful causes.
When we sign contracts, put down policies in writing, we like to go by the written word. The written word can be debated and changed if new facts, circumstances have emerged, but till such change/amendment is agreed in writing, we like to operate within the agreed constructs penned down earlier. We also have the courage to enforce our contracts on all fronts and actively do. We feel it's sad that in many work cultures, contracts don’t mean enough, and without those meaning enough it's tough to have an orderly system of making things work.
We love and encourage diversity, and absolutely respect all genders, language, religions, nationalities, sexual preferences & economic backgrounds. We encourage people to speak in their language of comfort in meetings, as long as all others in that particular meeting can understand them. So, for example, one needn't be super articulate in English (with the exception of certain roles).
For decisions required to be taken analytically: In God we trust, all others must bring data.
We deeply endorse trying to be accurate and factual and make facts the basis of conversations when possible. We believe deeply in meaningful gratitude and it’s a central part of our culture.
