Besides bringing more job opportunities, Traffic Geyser is also introducing new corporate culture in Nepal. Sudesh GC, CEO of Traffic Geyser Nepal, informed that the company will try to provide friendly, flexible and casual working environment where the focus will be on having fun while working rather than just focusing on meeting the deadline.



“Employees don´t need to work here from nine to five or any fixed hours, they can work in their style as what matters for us is the output,” he added.



GC said the company´s colorful interiors of bright orange and light purple are designed to give a friendly vibe at the workplace.



The company is planning to install video games consoles and foosball table in order to kill monotony at workplace.



Subrat Basnet, chief technical officer of Traffic Geyser Nepal, said working environment like this helps in increasing creativity. “We don´t want academic certificates. What is more important for work is passion and commitment for work along with innovative mind,” Basnet added.
