Visit to Government Primary School


An attempt - to bring smile on the faces of innocent kids.. It was so fun to be with them. I am so glad, that I am part of such a great initiative. I always wanted to be a part of such an activity. At Sapient we have come up with this initiative to associate ourselves with a NGO which is providing literacy to kids who cannot afford education. We have volunteered to visit this school to run activities to add fun at school. The kids belong to slums and have zero resources, they have never gone to school.

The experience of the visit cannot be expressed in words, it was so beautiful to see smile in their eyes... We gave them basket ball and net. They were so thrilled to see the basket ball and net, and played it with full enthusiasm. Kids love to dance, sing and play. They don't have enough resources so they are really excited about such activities.

Every alternate friday one group from the hiring team visit the school and run activity. The next group, is going to teach them importance of hygine and will be helping them prepare a hygine kit, which they can use in future.

Check out video to catch the glimpse of our recent visit on 8th may..

Life at Sapient !

Work is going at a full pace, I am enjoying each bit of it.. Sapient is back with the hiring mode, with new work, we have too many needs to work upon. It just took me back to Q4 when, Hiring team was on Road to 210.. I,Nikki, ana, jana, ash use to Rock.. It was so much fun.. I never got a feeling that these guys work from bangalore..

Well now again we are on hiring spree and I am loving it.. It just thrills me, phone screening, lining up candidates, last me mins back outs, salary negotiations, RP tension ha ha ha.., vurv tension, hire losses, offer losses all that will happen aagain... and it will be fun :-)

Between couple of things which went good for me in last week is- I have been a winner of Sapient core value (Creativity) at India level.. It was so unexpected, when in the morning meeting it was announced by P, I was so happy to hear that.. Next day K shared the email with Sapient India mentioning the winners name with a brief write-up on each winner. My mailbox was full of wishes, I got mails and wishes from unexpected people from different teams and projects.. Its a great and big thing happened to me. I will remember it for my whole life. The second new thing is my new role.. I am enjoying it, so all that make my life at Sapient ROCKS !!
