Humans Are Not a Resource. They are not a towel to wring the most out of. If you create a conducive enough environment, humans naturally perform their best.
Ethos and Culture
We hold our people to a high standard and our ethos is a proof of that. The more these sound like you and describe people you want to work with, the more likely you will thrive at Maitreya Labs
KINDNESS
We value caring for others. Helping others is a priority, even when it is not immediately related to the goals that you are trying to achieve. Similarly, you can rely on others for
help and advice. In fact, you’re expected to do so.
Premium
AGGRESSIVE LEARNING
Our only strength and advantage over others at the moment is knowledge & skill, not money, not brand, not power, nothing else at all.
TRANSPARENCY
Be open about as many things as possible. Directness is about being transparent with each other. Be straightforward and kind, an uncommon cocktail of no-bullshit and no-asshole. Remember: Feedback is always about your work and not you as a person.
NO HIERARCHY
We are trying to create an atmosphere where anybody’s opinion can be challenged. Any past decisions and guidelines are open to questioning as long as you act in accordance with them until they are changed. However, while a policy or decision is still in place we all agree to commit to it.
TEAM-WORK
We are like a sports team. Like in Football – everyone runs hard to tackle opponents and in that course they fall, but eventually pass the ball to the striker and score the goal. In Cricket, the entire team is fielding and supporting with full energy while the bowler is in action. Well, our team is no less than these sports teams, we flourish as one.
DIVERSITY
The team consists of people from different backgrounds and opinions. So, we work together to make everyone feel welcome and increase the participation of the team members.
INTEGRITY
We operate with integrity and a sense of
justice on both: The clients part and towards each other. With our clients, we try to do our best and produce world class results.
OUR CLIENTS COME TO US BECAUSE THEY TRUST
US, AND WE REPAY THAT TRUST WITH EXEMPLARY
PERFORMANCE.
WE’RE NOT VENDORS, WE’RE EXPERTS!
This is one of the most important values we have. Integrity breaches, whether towards clients or towards each other are not allowed. We have a zero tolerance policy
towards the same.

The team consists of people from different backgrounds and opinions. So, we work together to make everyone feel welcome and increase the participation of the team members.
SAY THANK YOU
Recognise the people that helped you publicly. Demonstrating we care for people provides an
effective framework for direct challenges and feedbacks. Give as much positive feedback as you can, and do it in a public way. Give negative feedback in the smallest setting possible. Disclaimer:
Feedback should be early, straight, objective, and candid.
SAY PLEASE
One can’t say please enough. Always remind yourself of the way you would think about them in their presence. Remember: Always be friendly & professional, never casual & formal.
SAY SORRY
If you made a mistake, apologise. Saying sorry is not a sign of weakness but one of the strengths. The people that do the most will likely make
more mistakes.
DO NOT PULL RANK OR USE AUTHORITY TO GET THINGS DONE
Do not use “authority” or the name of
another team member to get a colleague to help you or a
client to listen to you. Establish the context and ask for
whatever is needed because the work demands it irrespective of hierarchy.
ACRONYMS SERIOUSLY SUCK
Before creating or adopting an acronym, please take a moment to consider if it helps or impedes communication. Most acronyms are pointless, and only serve to create a class of people who bandy them about to prove they are “in the know.” Thus, alienating others who don’t know, and who feel too embarrassed to ask.
MEASURE RESULTS NOT HOURS
We care about what you achieve; the code you shipped, the user you made happy, and the team member you helped. Do not compete by proclaiming how many hours you worked yesterday because we don’t want someone who took the afternoon off to feel like they did something wrong. Instead, celebrate yours and your teammates achievements. You don’t have to explain how you spent your day, we trust team members to do the right thing instead of having rigid rules.
BE HAPPY WHEN OTHERS SUCCEED
We are here to help each other achieve
their true potential, which is, incidentally, much more than any of us think
is possible.
OWNERSHIP
We expect team members to complete tasks that they are assigned. Having a task means you are responsible for anticipating and solving problems. As an owner you are responsible for overcoming challenges, not suppliers, or other team members. Take initiatives and proactively inform stakeholders when there is something you might not be able to solve. Done means we can responsibly communicate done to all stakeholders with
no stories. Either it’s done and there are notes OR it’s not done and there are stories. Essentially, there is no time for excuses. And finally, you shouldn’t need someone to give you a list of things to do every morning, if that’s happening, nobody is doing their jobs, and things need to be fixed.

SENSE OF URGENCY
At an exponentially scaling startup time gained or lost has compounding effects. Try to get the results as fast as possible so the compounding of results can begin and we
can focus on the subsequent improvements.
EXISTENTIAL ISSUES
Everyone hired is relatively smart and will easily get a job elsewhere. Nobody’s parents are endorsing the decision to work here. For example, elders in Prathamesh’s family wanted him to continue working at corporate. But, he believes that in order to retire early, and pursue full-time focus on one particular thing, one needs to build a multi-crore level business with efficient processes, systems and SOPs. And experience the child-like joy and thrill that comes from building the same.
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
We use a lot of text based communication and if you know the person behind the text it
will be easier to prevent conflicts. So,
encourage people to get to know each
other on a personal level, this can be
done during tea breaks and lunch!
This business is what WE are building! Twelve months from now, the collective impact of our contributions will make our elders proud. However, some of us will transform as alumni and go on to do other things. RESPECT & UTILISE the current moments with peers to build memories in order to learn, teach, and influence forever.
NO EGO
Don’t defend a point to win an
argument or double-down on a mistake.
You are not your work, you don’t have
to defend your point. We always need to
search for the right answer together.
Remember: It’s not you against your
colleague, it’s you and your colleague
against the problem.
BE EARLY
Don’t be just on time. Remember: Early bird catches the grain. [It’s a vegetarian bird]
BORING SOLUTIONS
Use the most simple and boring solution for a problem. You can always make it more complex later if that is required.
RTFM
Before asking a colleague a question, do a simple Google search and see if it’s something you can do on your own. This not only saves time, but also respects your peers’ time.
ZERO TOLERANCE ON HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION
We have a zero tolerance policy towards harassment, exclusion, discrimination, or retaliation by/of any community members,
including our employees.
DON'T BRING RELIGION OR POLITICS TO WORK
We don’t discuss religion or politics because it is easy to alienate people that have a minority opinion.
QUIRKINESS
Unexpected and unconventional things make life more interesting. Celebrate and encourage quirky gifts, habits, behaviors, and point of views.
THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS
While doing your peers the courtesy of a Google search before asking them questions, please also focus on creating an atmosphere where no question is too stupid. which is in fact, the truth. Having people feel that their question is stupid will only stop them from learning, in
order to not be thought of as stupid. It’s the exact opposite of what we need.
RECIPROCATE FLEXIBILITY WITH PREDICTABILITY
There is a lot of flexibility here, reciprocate it with predictability. Else this won’t work and is unfair to the others.
