The transparency in the non – hierarchical management speaks for the values we hold. The simple, elegant and pleasant work atmosphere keeps you relaxed and be yourself. Time rolled away between sunrise and sunset would hardly be felt in the ambiance that is rife with cooperation, interaction, presentations, discussions, arguments, seminar and of course sprightly friends, music, happy birth day songs and caps. Essential part of life there is Volley ball and Table Tennis.

Amongst all there is time for Volley ball IPLs, “hand printing” n crafting the cafeteria, honoring the achievements, celebration of special moments, undulating lunch time giggles, team trips, trucking, rafting etc.,
