4. How We Work

4.1 Core Principles

  1. Teen‑Led Innovation – Young builders lead real projects and own decisions.
  2. Collaboration First – We default to pairing, sharing context, and helping each other.
  3. Learning by Doing – We ship, get feedback, and iterate instead of waiting for “perfect”.
  4. Community Impact – We prefer projects that help other learners and local communities.

4.2 Decision Making

  • Technical decisions:
    Led by Akshat Kushwaha and Devansh, with input from others.

  • Design, Branding & Promotional decisions:
    Led by Aadrika and Maryam, with feedback from the community where relevant.

  • Operations & Cross‑team coordination:
    Led by Yash and Srishti, with support from the team.

  • Major changes (brand, org‑level strategy, big launches):
    Require discussion with the founders plus broad team alignment.

4.3 Project Workflow

  1. Ideation – Open brainstorm, collect ideas from the community.
  2. Planning – Scope the MVP, set milestones, define roles.
  3. Development – Work in short sprints with regular check‑ins.
  4. Review – Code reviews, design reviews, and testing.
  5. Deploy – Staged rollout with monitoring and a rollback plan.
  6. Iterate – Use feedback, metrics, and retrospectives to improve.

4.4 Technical & Engineering Guidelines

To ensure the highest quality of our projects, all team members must adhere to the following standards:

  1. Performance First – Our website and applications must always be highly optimized for speed (e.g. fast TTFB, LCP, INP).
  2. Responsive Design – All user interfaces must be fully responsive and work seamlessly across all devices and screen sizes.
  3. Use PNPM – We strictly use pnpm as our package manager to ensure fast, consistent, and space-efficient builds.
  4. Security Mindset – Proper security considerations and best practices must always be applied to safeguard our platforms and user data.
