Chaima Chaouachi Story
I started TBS in 2010 with the first generation. And then I completed my bachelor degree in 2016 with double majors which are marketing and business analysis. I was the first student who ever has a double degree in TBS. After graduation, I worked with civil society, with a multinational firm as a communication and marketing’s head of department, as a LSU, which is social corporate responsibilities department and then moved back to the civil society. This is because I believed in that we live to make an impact.
“Now, can we say that TELA is primarily a social enterprise? ”
Yes, it is a social business. It started with a personal experience when I had my mom got sick. I didn’t know how to manage working outside and at home. Hence, using my marketing and communication skills, I created a platform that connects households with professionals to speed up the process of getting things done easily, professionally and smoothly. This marketplace also meant to support small businesses from shutting down during the pandemic period. I started working with the cleaning services then, enlarged my database to the babysitting volunteers, plumbers, etc. Currently, I reached 1 000 professionals from all over Tunisia and I’m expecting to reach 10 000 after developing the mobile application soon in April. In a short period of time, I was managed to make Tela to have the label of a startup even though I was a 9-5 employee.
