• Clear spoken and written English. Hindi, Urdu or another local language is a plus for some markets
• Laptop, headset with mic and a quiet place to take calls
• Able to take rejection without taking it personally
• Self-motivated and okay with targets. Some weeks will be slow, and that is normal

Perks:

• Company laptop
• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)
