We have just crossed one year into existence this August and
the journey has been quite enlightening. It started with all the cliché stuff
with people highlighting all the ways this was not a bright idea, or at least
the flaws in the plan. We’re not still sure if it is a bright one, but I guess
we could do without bright as long as we get to read all we want.
We experimented with a lot of stuff and iterated along the
way. This has now left us with a basic understanding of what works and what
doesn’t and the problems that need to be solved.
The paths that are in front of us right now are in the
verticals of marketing, expanding collection, helping people read, financials, design,
book recommendations and community creation. All of these claim their own time
and effort.
This requires an expansion from the present 5 member team,
which bring us to the present recruitments.
We highly value a good team. Passionate people who love
books and share our vision of making more and more books accessible to people
and hence helping them read more. More
specifically, here are the qualities that we look forward to:
1. Love for reading: This is the glue that gels us
together. Improving a service that we use and cherish ourselves is one of the
biggest drivers.
