Here’s the first video in our new series ‘The Startup Way of Life’.
We are profiling work culture at startups and showcasing how different it is to work at startups. While it is not always about having flexible work hours or bean bags in office, every startup has a different story to tell.
We met Abhijith & Vidya at the GMIC event and connected on email later. They wanted a video to showcase the culture at Codewave to the outside world. When I met them and asked what separates them from other startups, the idea at Codewave was office being an extension of home.
No receptionists, no dress code, no time checks, a flexible work environmentwhere there is mix of work and play. A weekly event called the ‘Leadership Cafe‘ where team members come and talk about random pre decided topics.
I could sense from our interactions that Vidhya & Abhijith cared more about the culture of the office than anything else. They put in a great deal of effort in that regard and it really shows in the way the office functions. The team from denture Capital who traveled for the shoot had equal fun as team Codewave. We were treated to Pizzas and extra care was taken to ensure we were comfortable.
We also wanted to do something different and did a style where it appears that the video was done in one take!
