Anniversary Celebrations

Sep 30,2010: The happy/glorious day marked as  anniversary of GTEN Technologies and the birthday of its founder  Mr. Vikas Gupta  was celebrated by all the GTENites present at the office.

Let us take you to the beginning of the celebrations when the GTENites took some time off their working schedule to embrace the moment.

All the GTENites shared a wonderful time with each other by decorating the office with balloons and frills and brought a cake to mark the event. After the decorations everybody started making arrangements for the celebrations and also simultaneously made sure that the work at the office was not affected displaying true spirit of professionalism.

 When the much awaited celebrations began CEO, Mr. Vikas Gupta shared his  
 experience of bringing GTEN on a progressive path. He shared all the 
 achievements of the organization, the future goals of the organization and 
 ended with applauding the efforts of all the GTENites in making GTEN a 
 success story. Some of the senior employees also shared their inspirational 
 and  learning experiences of working with GTEN. Then the cake ceremony 
 began and the CEO along with some newest and the oldest employees of 
 GTEN cut the cake in the presence of all GTENites which was followed by a 
 lunch.                                

  Here comes the fun part:

The last event of the day was a dumb charade game. The GTEN members were divided into two 

teams each headed by the HR and the project manager respectively. In the beginning both the 

teams were looking strong with one having good acting skills and the other having good thinking   skills. The fun between the titans started. The project manager’s team took an early break through but the HR team refused to give up and fought back with a bang. Soon both the teams 

were tied at same points and it seemed as if either of the teams could win. At last the with the bound  of time the Project manager team came out with a very difficult name which the HR’s team was not able to recognize  in time and lost by a narrow margin accepting the defeat with grace and feeling of fun in everyone’s heart.
