WORKING AT WITHOUT (by Ashaya) Without (by Ashaya) is not just another social enterprise or non-profit or start-up. We are an amalgamation of all that and a lot more. Our why, our values, our guiding principles and our mission are absolute pillars in our journey to make deep, meaningful impact.

• Outcome: We are outcome-focused. By that we mean it doesn’t really matter how many hours you work, it’s what you do with those hours that matters. Work hours are flexible. Our outcomes, not as much.
• Explicit: We are super transparent. There’s no point in sweeping conflicts under a rug. We don’t have much to hide from each other and are consistently evaluating our work, our feelings and our differences. We are our biggest critics.
• Grounded: No task is too small or too big for any of us to do. At the same time, we play to our strengths, optimizing for the greater goal we are seeking to achieve, all the while keeping our minds open to diverse perspectives.
