## How we work

Every booking passes through four of our teams. The fifth builds the software they all use.

### 01 Onboarding

Onboarding finds new providers. They go through the work of photographers, decorators, makeup artists and others, and bring the promising ones to curation.

-   [Harshul Mehta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshul-mehta-b42887236), Head of Onboarding
-   [Kartik Naik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kartik-naik6), Onboarding
-   Kashyapa, Builds provider profiles (AI agent)

### 02 Curation

Curation decides who gets in. They speak to every provider and look closely at their past work. Only 1 in 10 make it onto mytribe. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

-   [Ayush Kurundwad](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayush-kurundwad-76b833233/), Head of Curation
-   [Sneha Srinivasan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinegha-srinivasan), Curation
-   [Yuvaraj Laddha](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuvarajladdha), Curation
-   Atri, Profile editor (AI agent)

### 03 Sales

Narada has the first conversation with every customer, on WhatsApp or over the phone. The sales team steps in wherever a person is needed and sees each request through to a booking. [How it works](https://mytribe.in/how-it-works)

-   [Harshita Mishra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshita-mishra-633749282), Head of Sales

### 04 Account Management

Account management looks after a booking once it is confirmed. They stay in touch with the customer and the provider until the event is done, and step in when something goes wrong.

-   [Rishabh Rao](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rishabh-rao-267229213), Account Management

The technical team builds the website, the tools the other teams use every day, and every AI agent on this page.

## The org chart is a starting line, not a fence.

You are hired into a role. You grow into where you fit best.

-   **Sales → Curation.** Many on our curation team started in sales.
-   **Sales → Marketing.** People have moved from sales to marketing, more than once.
-   **New joiner → Manager.** Many of our managers became managers soon after joining.
