- Submit demo recordings within the designated time window for quality review
- Maintain consistent quality standards as trained — script compliance, action accuracy, and environment setup
- Follow guidance from the Supervisor, Trainer, and Live QA during the shift
- Complete the same assigned task for the full shift duration as per the project requirement
- Household setup: perform everyday household tasks (arranging items, picking and placing objects, etc.)
- Kitchen setup: perform kitchen-related tasks (appliance handling, ingredient placement, cooking actions, etc.)
Eligibility Criteria (What We’re Looking For)
- Education: Minimum 10+2 (HSC) or equivalent
- Experience: Freshers welcome — no prior experience required
- Basic smartphone proficiency — comfortable handling and operating an iPhone

- Ability to follow structured instructions precisely and consistently
- Punctual, reliable, and able to commit to fixed shift timings
- Comfortable working in kitchen or household environments depending on location assignment
- Clear verbal communication — able to state task names and commands audibly on camera
