- Consciousness about accountability over responsibility. Simply owning not just the tasks but most importantly the outcome of the task is required.

- Honestly & trustworthiness is a very expensive gift. We do not lock-up our information very well knowing that such information may help the growth of the team as a whole. Extreme care with such information is totally vested on our team as we have total faith in our team members. Maintaining & growing that chain of trust is on the hands of each new team member who comes onboard. You are the person who knows you the best, not us.

You know you are a super curious mind with eagerness to self-learn multiple skills with the support of the team, from friends and even online. You will be doing certain tasks probably for the first time in your entire life. Do not worry. Be ready to get on top of the learning curve, there is always a first step for anything.
- A great team player with empathy who never lets the team down. Selfish, non-team players are not encouraged to apply.
- Good communication skills along with a good command of English & documentation skills.
