Virka Solutions

The above said lines must be making you clear about what I am trying to say!

Well, let me tell you that it’s about our activity session that we had on July 17^th, 2010(Saturday). It was an awesome experience seeing everybody laughing, giggling while participating in the innovative activities planned by the HR dept. As a surprise, a contest for Best Dressed Male and female was held. Everyone participated in it by voting.

After our long work shifts, everyone longs for a refreshing break, the time in which they can bring out the child inside them. That is the time when we can actually see the real personality of a person, and to check it, nothing can be as good as icebreakers. The activities were Leadership strategies and Big and Better both the activities were so good that all of us participated fully and the team spirit was incredible.

Moreover, to buff up enthuse among employees we had the most talented anchor ever, Mr. Ranjeet Singh, who by way of his out-of-the-ordinary potential energized VISians to get involved into the activities with full zest & zeal.

In the Leadership strategies, all were divided into three teams, every team tried to its best but Pavittar’s team finally succeeded in doing that. The crux of the activity was that how the team was able to coordinate with each other despite the fact that there was less space, though they managed to stand together.

Second activity was Big and Better. In this, the teams were to make bigger but meaningful thing out of four sheets of paper. All the three teams made various strategies but here too, Pavittar’s team won. This activity was to make us understand that if in a team, we have consensus, we can turn the tables.

And there was a surprise too! Beautiful Rashi Kalra and Mr. Muscular, Vikas Verma were honored with the award for the best dressed employees by Mr. Rohit Anand, Miss Shikha Latawa and Miss Deepika Batra. We had black and blue theme and these two were looking stunning in that color.

Last but not the least, there was also feedback session between management and the employees. In that all participated by giving suggestions, feedbacks and discussing their problems.

On the whole, the weather and the session actually made our day!

Thank you all! Cheers!

Hey friends!

Just wanted to update you guys about an activity session we recently had.

I’m really glad to tell you that the activity sessions in the Delhi team have become special part of Virka.

One can see the enthusiasm of the entire team when it comes to activity. Well, this also happens when they have to beat their daily challenges, but it bounces up automatically when these activity sessions take place.

These sessions not only entertain the team but also sharpen their skills.

Another thing worth mentioning is that these sessions leave an enriching and enjoyable experience for everyone.

So, now you know what kind of fun these activity sessions manage to spread in the team, let me tell you more about the same. Like every activity session, this one also had a dress code or theme, wherein the females had to wear Sarees and the males were to wear formals.

The result of course was that everybody looked stunning with the boys looking incredibly handsome and girls were looking extremely gorgeous. Everyone had a nice choice of clothes, which created a sort of mood for the session.

Believe me friends, it was a perfect day for a photo-session and that’s precisely what we did!!

The session was divided into two different activities- an Ice-breaking and another that had some meaning behind it as well.

In the ice breaking activity, we all had to guess who the leader was? We were to mislead the person who had come to judge the leader, and I must say, we did a very good job at it. Our secret leader gave us perfect directions to mislead the person doing the judgment.

Some were dancing, shaking their legs, and some were moving their heads like ducks! All this was for the person who was to find out the mystery of the leader. Lolz!

The second activity was really mind-blowing, because we had to find different hidden items in pairs.

There were two special rules to this game –

1. One was blindfolded, while the other had to direct the blindfolded member of the pair.
2. We had to find the things without touching our partners.

So the main aim was to device a plan that would lead us to the hidden stuff, without looking around and taking physical help from our partners.

It was fun to see how people devised plans and executed them, making a funny situation in the end, which arose out of the wrongly followed or wrongly given directions to the blindfolded partner.

All of us decided a few codes, which were used while to direct the person who was blindfold. Some of us experimented with the ties that the boys wore, while others tried out the same trick with claps and whistles.

Oh! I can’t forget the time everything was on the brink of going haywire and all the others who were uninvolved at that time, were laughing their heads off!!

Winding up, all I can say is that things would have been even more exciting, if Sagar Sir had been a part of all the excitement and merriment.

Three cheers for Virka….Hip Hip Hurray… Hip Hip Hurray… Hip Hip Hurray!!!

HR-Department – VIS (LDH) in association with ESI-Corporation and Wipro organized ESI camp in the head office. Around 50 employees from both the branches participated in that. Many of them came with their parents/spouse to avail the facility provided by ESI Corporation. In this camp, employee’s photographs were taken along with their fingerprints and the most important feature of this card is that the employee can avail the benefit of this card in any part of the country wherever ESI-Dispensaries are available. Everyone appreciated the concern of Virka’s Management towards its employees.

The sentence is quite true for the VISians!

As everyday when we start work, we don’t think that we have to complete it only, but we believe in giving our best, and with that belief we not only achieve our targets, but exceed those to the extremities. Achieving the highest target so far, we (DTS-Team) are really very happy to be a part of Virka Solutions, where we have got such a nice launch pad to perform and prove our caliber to the competitors.

Beautiful lines written by a famous poet, Robert Frost, indeed! But that’s completely true. We, at Virka are continuously thriving to reach at the top. But still we make sure that our efforts do not make us ignorant of the situations and the competitors.

Reaching at the top and leaving the competitors behind is not a small task. This requires unending dedication and focus in work, which our teams have in them certainly. That is why, when our team of Moviewatchlist achieved the highest traffic so far, everyone was extremely excited and we’re sure that the management must be happy with this.

It was an unexpected but a lovely surprise! And the aftermaths of it was undoubtedly surprising! The management threw a pizza party for all on July 3^rd and sliced the cake for their achievements. It was very pleasant gathering for us, but this wasn’t all, management also announced that very soon they’re going to organize a happening dance party to honor this accomplishment. People in Virka are on cloud nine, as this accomplishment brought a new zeal and enthusiasm in them and further motivates them to achieve even more.

Like always, today once again we VISians enjoyed our time to the fullest extent at Virka, the difference was just that on routine basis we explore pleasure in our work only, but today it was a little bit instilled in the form of the special birthday party, celebrated in the company premises.

Birthdays are often celebrated in the company, but today it was all special as our President Mr. Sagar Dhingra alongwith Company’s VP Mr. Amit Arora, also joined us on the occasion. The environment simply got filled with humor when these seniors poked fun at some common problems that one usually faces whilst daily-grind. It was laughter all around and we really had a huge fun today.

This is the feeling in the hearts of all the members of Virka family. As with the passing of every day, the people of Virka are setting new milestones.

That day is not far when everyone in this IT Sector will know Virka very well. Last evening also, to celebrate a new matter of happiness (i.e. opening of the new branch at Bharat Nagar Chowk in Ludhiana), Amit Sir threw a party at our new branch office. Our Employee of the month was also announced there.

This month, our top performers were Pavittar, who got Leadership Award, Amrita who got Platinum Award, Mohit Kumar got Gold Award and Vikas  Minhaas was honored with Silver Award.

After this event, there was snack party in which Amit sir sliced the cake and congratulated all for their hard work and for new branch as well.

It was real fun time!

Visians, (members of Virka family), for them the word appreciation is too small to express their giant deeds. By achieving the targets more than their set standards, they are creating benchmarks for themselves.

In order to honor their spirit, we arranged a movie show for them on 30^th April at PVR, Ludhiana. The movie was good and we had a fun blast.

But this wasn’t all. We also had a pizza party along with soft drinks.

Keep rocking Visians!

It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.

For every organization, be it big or small, its employees are its real assets. And if the employees are truly motivated and optimistic, nothing can beat them. Same is the feeling in minds and hearts of ‘VISIANS’.

Monthly contest EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH-APRIL was celebrated on April 22^nd 2010 at 5 pm. All were having goose bumps in their tummies so as to know, who is going to be the winner this time. Everyone was making guesses until the final names were announced and VP of Virka InfoTech Services handed the prize cheques to the winners.

Navjeet won the Platinum Award, which is for overall excellence: Leadership award was bagged by Ranjeet Singh, who is heading the content writing department, whereas the Gold Award was pocketed by Vijay and the Silver award went to Mohit Kumar.

Last but not the least, Pioneer Award went to Neha Garg and after that everyone enjoyed the feast of snacks, soft drinks and cake.

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.

Keep rocking!

For anyone who is working, the best day of the month is the one, on which you get your salary. And it is always slightly more special, when it is your first salary in a new organization.

This was perhaps why, April 7^th, 2010, was all the more important for our Delhi team, because it was the first salary for the entire team! Since this is a new office and a brand new team as well, the excitement of getting the first salary was quite palpable.

There was an additional point for excitement – Mr. Amit Arora was also in town. He  interacted with the team and clicked few pics as well.

However, the snack party was the highlight of the day – something Amit sir initiated! Everyone enjoyed the break from work, as they munched on their burgers and sipped the cold drinks (a welcome relief in the hot Delhi summers!)

But the best part of the day was definitely around 5:45 in the evening – the time when Mr. Amit Arora and Mr. Sagar Dhingra gave out the first ever salary checks of the Delhi office!! It was a wonderful gesture on their part to personally hand out the first salary checks. Each team member was given their respective checks, along with a word of appreciation and encouragement.

Looks like the Delhi team is all set to shine bright in the Virka family!!
