At the heart of Genashtim's mission is a profound commitment to empowering people and enabling business, driven by a culture that champions diversity, inclusion, and the transformative power of technology. Founded in 2008 by Thomas Ng, the organization was born from a desire to provide sustainable, meaningful, and gainful employment for individuals from marginalized communities, particularly those with disabilities and from less-developed economies. This core purpose has shaped every facet of the company's operations, leading to the pioneering of a 100% remote work model long before it became a global trend. This innovative approach was not just a logistical choice but a foundational element of its inclusive workplace, designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical location or circumstances. This digital-first mindset has allowed Genashtim to build a truly global and diverse team, fostering a rich, multicultural environment where employees from over 20 countries collaborate and thrive.
The culture at Genashtim is one of empowerment, trust, and continuous learning. The company's vision extends beyond simply providing jobs; it's about creating opportunities for personal and professional growth. By leveraging the internet, Genashtim connects its talented workforce—comprising individuals with disabilities, refugees, seniors, and women in oppressed environments—to the global economy. This is more than a business model; it's a testament to the belief that talent is universal, even if opportunity is not. As a certified B Corporation, Genashtim is held to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. This certification underscores a deep-seated commitment to the 'Triple Bottom Line' of People, Planet, and Profit. The team is united by a shared passion for making a tangible impact, where every project and client engagement is an opportunity to prove that a business can be a powerful force for good, creating a more equitable and sustainable world for all.
