Why not Tushop?

• We experiment a lot. If you like dotting all your is and crossing all your ts before making a move, then you might not enjoy working with us.
• We are low-ego individuals. If you need praise, need to always be right, or need someone else to fail to feel self-worth, this role is not for you.
• We believe that fieldwork makes the dreamwork. We dont hide behind laptops every day; we instead thrive by engaging with customers, suppliers, partners, and teammates on the phone and in the streets. (We find it invigorating - and hope youd find it that way too!)
