About Cartesian: We are Cartesian, a 12-year-old analytics firm. During this time, weve helped some of the largest brands across the globe unlock unprecedented value from their data.

We have now forayed into the SaaS world with our first product SOLUS. SOLUS is a System of Intelligence that powers the micro decisions that a brand needs to make to communicate to its customers in a relevant manner. These micro decisions include product recommendations, reasons to talk, words to use, and timing and channel selection at an individual customer level. SOLUS comes pre built with all the intelligence and expertise to enable this for brands within 4-6 weeks.

SOLUS was recently inducted into the 2021 cohort of the NASSCOM Deeptech Club. As a company we are obsessed about our people, our processes, our clients, and our commitment to their growth. We expect every single one of our people to display the greatest sense of ownership and pride in the work they do.

Were proud of what weve achieved, and our ambitions are far larger. Whats important for us is not just where we get to, but HOW we get there. Of course, we dont have all the answers, but our joy comes from the exploration, and thats the kind of team we are.

Lets start by telling you a few things that are critical to have, if you have to grow in Cartesian:

- Customer Focus: If youre thinking, Oh! I got this, think again. Let us explain. While we work with clients, we work forsolving their customers problems. We believe that client delight is fully linked to customer delight. Quite naturally, we look to enrich our teams with people who think of their clients and customers problems as their own

- Problem Solving mindset: Using a healthy balance of logic and intuition to create magic. You understand the value of asking questions and digging deep till youve exhausted all options. You appreciate that assumptions lead to incomplete or inaccurate outcomes. You are fearless because you know youve not taken the easy way out

- Agility and Quick Learning: We love people who try. We love people who fail fast then we know they are trying relentlessly. We love them even more if they are learning from it, and exploring newer and more creative methods to solve problems

- Results, always: We dont believe in molly-coddling. And so we hold you accountable for the thinking you bring in and the work you do. And that wont be possible if we dont provide the right environment to grow and nurture those capabilities. Which is why we equip before we expect.
