I don't believe we have any traditional dedicated administrative staff at the moment. We're certainly not outsourcing any kind of employees, to my knowledge. (EDIT: I'm told we do currently outsource accounting, I don't interact with that part of the business so I wouldn't know about it, heh. We do have one dedicated finance employee but that's a recent hire.)


interesting! how are the administrative tasks managed, or are there just not that many of them? I've worked for a pretty small startup that still had a dedicated admin person who had a ton of stuff to do, though maybe Indian companies need that more.


What kinds of tasks are you asking about, specifically? Admin can be pretty far-ranging.


off the top of my head, making sure that the building rent was paid and maintenance and supplies taken care of for various offices, managing calendars for the executives, managing software licenses, doing any government paperwork that was needed, perhaps even doing the admin side of HR if there're no dedicated HR roles.


As far as I know, our CEO does a lot of this sort of work himself. There's just not very much of it so far. We only have one office, we don't license much software, and we pay a company to manage employee benefits.
