March 8th stands out on the calendar as International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to honouring the achievements and recognizing the challenges of women around the globe. At Karuna Group, we believe in the strength and potential of every woman on our team. This year, under the guidance and encouragement of our respected director, Mr. Sanjoy Tekriwal, we celebrated this special day with enthusiasm, reflection, and commitment at our head office, marking it as a milestone of empowerment and unity.
A Gathering of Inspirations at Head Office
The celebration commenced with a gathering of all our women staff members for a special two-hour event. It was a rare and valuable opportunity for everyone to step away from their daily tasks and come together, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation as colleagues, often working in different departments, had the chance to connect on a personal level.
Enlightening Insights with Respected Mr. Sanjoy Tekriwal (Co-founder & Managing Director)
One of the highlights of our celebration was the presence and participation of Mr. Sanjoy Tekriwal. His commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment has always been palpable, but on this day, his words resonated more deeply than ever. Mr. Tekriwal shared insights into the importance of recognizing and uplifting the women within our organization. He opened the floor for discussion, inviting ideas and suggestions on how we could further improve our internal systems to support our female staff’s growth and well-being. This dialogue was not just about listening but actively engaging and committing to actionable changes, a testament to Karuna Group’s dedication to continuous improvement and empowerment.
A Token of Appreciation and Unity
In a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, special gifts were distributed to all women staff members . These tokens were carefully chosen not just for their utility but as symbols of our gratitude for their hard work, resilience, and dedication. The joy and surprise on their faces were a reminder of the small gestures that can make a big difference in fostering a positive and supportive workplace culture.
The celebration also included the distribution of food packets, which added a festive touch to the gathering. Sharing a meal is a universal sign of community and togetherness, and this simple act brought everyone closer, strengthening bonds and creating memories that we all will cherish.
