Sagi adds: “Eventbrite’s flexible-first workplace culture and our focus on diversity play a large role in our ability to recruit the best talent across India. Our staff here work just like their counterparts in Europe or the US, and can decide where they do their best work: in our Hyderabad office, hybrid, or fully remote from anywhere in India. At the same time — and in keeping with our mission to bring the world together through live experiences — we regularly facilitate real life connections between our employees. That’s a strong differentiator for us, as we continue to hire the best talent across India.”
