Headquarters

This job is a remote job.

In general, we have a normal work week policy with flexible hours from 10am to 6pm. You should be reachable during those hours to make sure the collaboration goes well with the other team members. During the course of the program, you might be requested to come to office some days of the week, as per the Lead Data Analyst requirements.

We do not work on weekends. Weekends are for chilling.

In Mumbai, our offices are located in the historical part of the city, exactly 5 minutes walking-distance from CST Station, an incredibly beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site and 15 minutes walking-distance from Churchgate Station. Our offices have large French windows with ample light coming inside and from which you can observe parrots and kites flying in the surrounding centenary trees. We’ve used teak wood and marble for our furniture, and we display lovely artworks on our walls. Not that any of these matter for your application, but we do like the idea that you'd like to settle in Mumbai ;)
