Culture Deck
At shunya we believe that future should be purposeful.
Soulful. Inclusive.
Boundlessly aspirational. Grounded. Self-driven.
Honest. Resilient.
That multiplicative progress comes from taking uncommon bets on people.
That by actively seeking diversity we can create a future that otherwise
would never have been invented.
Together.
We are Futuristic. Aspirational.Tech first.
Less doesn't belong at shunya.
We are the Infinite.
We put a lot of responsibility in our people.
And for that we expect maturity of thought process,
a great problem solving
& entrepreneurial mindset
We do not mince words.
We have hard conversations.
We believe that in the pursuit of excellence you have
to accept nothing less than your-best-work
People who don't see their future self in themselves,
do not belong here.
They belong to their own history.
How we like to work
This is not a culture document to hang on the walls.
We try to live these values and use them to guide hard conversations.
Objectively.
At the end of the day, you should be proud to say
“I will be proud to put this work online
with my name on it”
#Here-to-create-our-best-work-together
We like to work as equals
We do not believe in defined roles/hierarchies.
(and we treat you as responsible adults, irrespective of # of years of experience)
Weakly held, strong opinions
we adapt and change, if you show us how.
We experiment and move fast.
we care about the meritocracy of the idea/direction
No matter who brought those to the table.
We believe that strong teams are force multipliers
They compound the rate of progress
& make the best of each other.
We like to be clear & concise about the direction in
which we are going
(even when we don’t know it, ourselves)
#don’t-wing-it
@Work
here are the things we appreciate
~ 100% Say = Do
over communicate
flag risks, ask for help proactively
Commit together - no halfway.
Time >> money for startups
Lost time - inappropriate/ open-ended / vague
communication on what, when & how
something will be done.
Take decisions, together
No blame game
work independently
with little direction
Appreciate each other's capabilities & limitations.
Teach and learn from one another.
Think where we need to go & take us there
Own it !
being responsible, resourceful & enterprising
Skills needed for Zero to One Journey are very different
from the skills needed for One to Ten.
Identify these proactively.
Raise the bar for yourself.
Proactively assume bigger cross-functional
responsibilities as the team grows.
Coach the team & help scale yourself.
Most importantly - do not forget to have fun!
Join us!
