• Maintain and update MIS reports for tracking and decision-making.
• Always keep cost efficiency and monthly targets in mind across all tasks.

What We Are Looking For:

• Strong MS Excel and Google Sheets skills — you will work with data every day.
• Persistence and attention to detail — accuracy in data, processes, and follow-ups is essential for the business.
• Customer-first mindset — you genuinely care about getting it right for the customer.
