We have resumed working from office with the same ardor as before COVID. As we believe in the motto, "work hard, party harder", we’ve already started living up to this. Our teams have not only started collaborating or brainstorming on renewing the work strategies for projects’ success but we also arrange unofficial meet-ups to unwind & relax.
In order to keep our offices safe, we sanitized the whole building before announcing to open. We strongly encourage our colleagues who work in different departments to get vaccinated by providing vaccination kits and asked them to wear masks.
As we expand our horizons, we happily announce that we inaugurated two new offices in India i.e., at Noida and Pune.
