We're Hiring

We're a small start up based in Delhi working in the online travel space. If you'd like to read more about what we do or who we are, do check the What we do and Team pages.

Working in a start up is a far cry from the cushy job in a big corporate. Its unpredictable, is extremely fast paced, dynamic in the true sense and challenging. Combine this with the disruptive online products we're working on and a cool informal culture and you get WeAreHolidays.

We're looking out for extremely talented and brilliant folks who are not afraid of burning the midnight oil. We hate posting JDs and roles; we just need exceptionally smart people. We'll mutually figure out what you're best at and would want to do. And just to shatter another misconception - working in a young start up does not = working for peanuts. But having said that, working at WeAreHolidays is not about a job, a salary or stock; its about trying to make a dent in the universe one small blow at a time, while having some fun on the way!
