We're on a Mission
Every day, Indian expats across the USA face the same challenge: staying connected with loved ones back home without breaking the bank. We're here to solve that problem.
Dial91 isn't just a blog—it's a trusted resource helping thousands of expats find the best calling solutions, navigate technology, and stay close to family despite the distance. We're growing fast, and we need passionate people to help us scale our impact.
Whether you're a writer, tech enthusiast, marketer, or developer, there's a place for you here.
Our Values
User-First Always
Every decision starts with one question: "Does this help our readers?" We never compromise on providing genuine value, even when it means recommending free solutions over paid partnerships.
Quality Over Quantity
We'd rather publish one exceptional guide than ten mediocre posts. Every article should be the best resource on the internet for that topic—or we don't publish it.
Radical Honesty
We tell it like it is. Pros and cons. What works and what doesn't. Our credibility is our most valuable asset, and we protect it fiercely.
Remote-First Culture
Talent is everywhere, offices aren't. We embrace remote work fully, trusting our team to deliver great work from wherever they're most productive.
Growth Mindset
We're building something from the ground up. That means learning fast, experimenting often, and being comfortable with uncertainty. If you thrive in early-stage environments, you'll love it here.
Empathy for Expats
Many of us are expats ourselves. We understand the challenges, the homesickness, and the desire to stay connected. This isn't just work—it's personal.
💼 About Our Current Stage
Full transparency: Dial91 is currently a lean, agile operation focused on creating exceptional content and building sustainable revenue through affiliate partnerships. We're not a large company with fancy offices—we're a small team punching above our weight.
What that means for you: High impact, high autonomy, real ownership over your work. You'll see the direct results of your contributions, not get lost in corporate bureaucracy. We're looking for people who thrive in this environment—self-starters who can work independently and take initiative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an Indian expat to work with Dial91?
Not necessarily! While firsthand expat experience is definitely a plus (it helps you understand our audience deeply), it's not required. What matters most is your ability to empathize with our audience, research thoroughly, and write/create compelling content. We've had successful team members from diverse backgrounds.
What time zone do you work in?
We're flexible! Our current operations are US-based, but we welcome team members from any time zone. For roles requiring collaboration, we typically have one weekly sync call at a mutually convenient time. Most work is asynchronous, so you can work during your productive hours.
How quickly do you respond to applications?
We aim to respond to all applications within 5-7 business days. If we're interested in moving forward, we'll reach out to schedule a call. If it's not a fit right now, we'll let you know and keep your information for future opportunities.
Can freelance roles turn into full-time positions?
Absolutely! Many of our current contractors started with one-off projects. As Dial91 grows and we see strong performance, we're very open to converting freelance/contract roles into more permanent positions. We strongly prefer to promote from within.
What tools and software do you use?
We keep things simple: Google Workspace for collaboration, Slack for communication (when needed), Trello or Notion for project management. For writers, you'll work in Google Docs or directly in WordPress. We provide guidance and templates to make onboarding smooth.
Do you offer benefits for contract workers?
For contractors and freelancers, compensation is hourly or per-project. We don't currently offer traditional benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.) for contract roles since most of our positions are part-time or project-based. However, we do offer learning budgets for courses/tools and performance bonuses tied to measurable outcomes.
What makes a great writing sample for Dial91?
The best samples are: (1) Long-form content (1,500+ words), (2) Explanatory or educational in nature, (3) Written for a general audience in conversational tone, (4) Well-researched with accurate information, (5) Properly structured with headers and scannable formatting. Bonus points if it's about tech, travel, or expat life!
Can I pitch my own article ideas?
Yes! We love when writers come to us with relevant topic ideas. Check our existing content first to avoid duplicates, then pitch away. Include your topic, angle, and why it would resonate with Indian expats. If it fits our content strategy, we'll green-light it.
