We, at Virka, realize that we are a part of society. Thus, we all geared up to spend this Christmas with society at large. For This purpose, we choose Nirdosh – A School for Mentally Challenged Children at Ludhiana to spread the warmth that Christmas brings. Nirdosh, which was started in October 1978, has been helping God’s lesser children and Virka is proud to associate itself with a noble cause. The celebration was coupled with the monthly staff birthdays as well.
Everybody from Virka was there in the campus of the school, playing and dancing with the special children. Everyone tried to make them happy by sharing gifts and goodies and helping them with the food. The best part was that the children were really happy with this gesture and were enjoying every moment of the celebration.
As a joint initiative between Virka and its employees, we planned a lunch with the children at Nirdosh, apart from gifts and goodies. We also planned to makes their winters warm, with woolens and other such goods. Along with that, we donated a Basketball Unipole in the premises of Nirdosh School, so that it could help these children in their physical exercise. We are proud and thankful of the whole-hearted approach that the whole Virka family has taken for this initiative. We believe in spreading cheer to one and all, and thus, making another effort for it.

Movie time is here again and so do the oodles of fun & amusement!
DESI BOYS- Yes, this is the movie we watched last week with our colleagues. Starring Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangda Singh, the movie was a complete package of entertainment. Right from its star cast to storyline to climax, it made for an interesting watch. Every single scene of the movie was packed with so much hilarity that we couldn’t afford to move our eyes from it, even for a second.
And to increase the entertainment quotient, we had the company of our lovely friends and colleagues. It was a welcome change to see the otherwise hard-working and dedicated guys and gals having the time of their lives, while the Desi Boys dazzled the screens with their charismatic persona.
Such a fun-filled evening not only rejuvenated all, but also provided them with enough zest to start their work next morning with new fervor and enthusiasm.
Cheers to the spirit of Virka!
We all possess a desire to be appreciated, no matter what form it comes in. The management of Virka understands how important it is to value the efforts of its employees and shower oodles of appreciation on them. That’s why every single effort made by the employees in the company is well acknowledged.
This time, the acknowledgement wasn’t just heart-warming, it was mouth-watering as well!!
It was decided that the team with the highest output will be having a lunch with the Managing Director of the company, Mr. Amit Arora. For the month of September, the winner was Edogo team (Harish Kuchawa, Vikrant, Anuj, Amrita, Gaurav Sharma, Gaurav Marjara, Sunny, Chinky, Simrat, Gurdev and Gurinder along with their Group Lead-Karan got a chance to satiate their hunger with delicious dishes, while having a light-hearted chit-chat with Mr. Arora.
Wow! Can anything be better than this award to boost the morale of employees? I bet, ‘team lunch’ is the hands-down winner as it signifies “We are one family, dedicated to achieve a common goal”!
Diwali, the festivals of lights, is considered as an auspicious day in Indian culture. Not just because it is a festival, but because of its role in removal of darkness of bad thoughts from our minds and brightening our thoughts with candidness and purity. Bright lights of Diwali fill up the environment with sheer joys and illuminate the souls. Thus, we take great delight in celebrating this festival with unbound excitement at Virka Infotech Pvt Ltd., Ludhiana every year.
This year also, a gala celebration was arranged on the occasion of Diwali. Credit for creating lively environment goes to Parul, Jaswinder, Shabnam, Tulsi, Satinder, Isha and Sanjeev who managed to come on Sunday to decorate the whole office. Since 26th was off on account of Diwali, we organized Diwali Mela on October 24th at 2:45pm. To truly relish the aura of festivities, all were asked to clad themselves in ethnic wear. Different activities were planned to make the celebrations interesting like Tambola, Musical Chair, Dumb Charades and Best Dressed Male and Female awards, which were bagged by Vikas Verma and Parwinder respectively.
It was an amazing moment to see people running madly to occupy chairs in Musical Chairs. Can you imagine guys dancing on numbers like Munni and Sheela? Well, anything is possible at Virka. The guys, who won prizes in Tambola, were made to dance on Munni and Sheela ki Jawani. To keep the audience involved, Tarundeep played an important role of an electrifying anchor and hosted the whole event along with Deepika and Amrita. A separate corner in the office was decorated with ethnic phulkaris, pots and other traditional Punjabi stuff to create a village kind look. That was especially made for the photo sessions and was appreciated by everyone.
This event had everything, be it games, traditional snacks or foot-tapping music which a real mela should have. At the fall of the evening, we concluded it by offering Aarti to Maa Lakshmi, followed by Diwali distribution by Amit Sir. Heartfelt thanks to everyone, who made this event amazing with their much appreciated presence.
We are ecstatic to announce that we have opened up a new office at 882 Basement, Main East Park Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi. Considering the growth of company, which has been tremendous in past years, we have chosen a big infrastructure of 4000 sq.ft., which has the capacity to accommodate 150 persons. The office is fully equipped with high-end technology and latest systems. The whole office area is Wi-Fi and is complete Hi-Tech.
Shubharambh of our new office was done on the auspicious day of Second Navratra of Maa Durga. The inaugural Pooja was attended by our MD’s -Mr. Sagar Dhingra and Mr. Amit Arora and the whole staff of Delhi office.
May the blessings of Lordess Durga and Ganesha be with us always!
It is very important for the Business houses and corporate to come together for the cause of betterment of quality of life in the society. This road was usually a less travelled one till the close of 2000. But now, more and more corporate houses are choosing this option to play their social responsibility towards the society, from which they are getting their main resource, i.e. Human Resource.
Virka have always been a supporter of the culture, wherein the youngsters can choose an option, where their educational and career goals are met at the same time. Virka has always supported education, created employment, which is otherwise a major concern for our country.
Now Virka has another role to play, that is, supporting the helpless and underprivileged strata of our society. It has landed his helping hand to support the old and needy people of Nishkam Sewa Ashram, run by Nishkam Trust, where many old and left-out people of the society are staying. The trust provides them clothes, shelter, medicines and treatment. This trust also runs schools for children and adults, stitching centers and training centers. All the employees of Virka also contributed towards this noble cause by donating their old clothes and other household stuff. These kinds of initiatives should be taken by all the corporates, because by these things, they will be able to repay their debt towards the society.
Virka’s Management has always celebrated their success with its employees. Recently we launched our new retail projects, Amydra – Our own Retail brand and India Emporium, which are considered as the most ambitious projects of ours. So, treat to banta hai!
The launch was celebrated at our both locations at the same time. The celebrations started after Mr. Amit (Director-Virka Infotech Pvt Ltd.) sliced the cake and shared few words with the employees. A tempting veg and non-veg buffet was arranged and employees had great time feasting on the delicious snacks. That was not all. At Virka, we don’t leave any opportunity to shake our legs on the beats of music. The whole environment was filled with fun and spirit of achievement!
With his continuous fight to end increasing corruption in the country, Gandhian social activist, Anna Hazare, has became one of the famous figures on social portals also. Anna Hazare and Jan Lokpal supporters started various forums and websites to encourage more support from the people and pressurize government to pass Lokpal Bill.
Team Anna supporters and other social activists focused on social networking sites like facebook, twitter and google+ to spread the message of non-violent protest against corruption.
This movement created awareness among the citizens of the India and most importantly, it awakened our youth, which now understands that they have to take a stand against corruption for their better future.
This movement spread like wildfire in the whole country, and corporate sector, which is otherwise considered neutral, also showed support to Anna’s movement by protesting in their own way.
Professional sites like LinkedIn were flooded with requests and appeals from the professionals to support Anna Hazare by wearing black on August 19 in the offices or a black badge to show the support. Maximum no. of corporate houses and officials made it successful by wearing black.
The similar effect was seen at Virka Infotech Pvt Ltd, where all the employees wore black and supported Anna’s movement against corruption.
By staying indoors, this was our way to say that Anna Hazare, we are with you! Let’s bring Lokpal Bill and remove corruption from our Hindustaan!
Guys! Please give me a break here. I am not talking about any silly movie comprising of 3 guys and one gal who opened up their own university, which is so silly indeed…anyway! Here I am talking about our activity session-Faaltu, that we had on August 12, 2011.The reason behind its naming is again very Faaltu. Lol…Well, without elaborating it much, I would like to tell you that it was actually a session wherein we wanted our people to enjoy and rejuvenate themselves by taking part in some funny, exciting team activities.
The activities that we had were Hunt for the Goodies Bag and Dumb Charades. Trust me, it was a great experience! The hunt was divided into three levels, first level was for the collection of similar colored balloons, second level was to search for the key of the almirah, where the goodies bag was placed, and in the third level, all had to burst the balloons in order to find the real key. All were running here and there to collect the maximum nos. of balloons. It was great to see everyone involved in the hunt. In the end, Vikas Minhas fortunately grabbed the key and became the winner of Hunt for the goodies Bag.
Now, not to forget the Dumb Charades! There were two teams. Both the teams were very enthusiastic which made the game interesting and above all enjoyable. These activity sessions keep on reminding us that no matter how tiring our work schedules are, but we can turn them pleasant once we decide to live up to each moment.
Leadership is the inborn quality that is found in almost every human being, yet all are not able to harness it. But, it’s required for all to inculcate this spirit of leadership in order to attain the goals and reach at the top.
In order to awaken that feeling in the VISians, a Motivational Capsule was presented by Captain Parth Ashok Narang and Mr. Vikram from ProEd, a leading name in corporate training, in the premises of Virka Infotech Pvt Limited.
The session started with a warm up exercise to involve each and everyone present there. I must say, Captain Parth’s way of delivering the session was amazing and full of energy. He made everyone to participate into the session. It included many team building activities and ice breakers too. All were truly amazed and appreciated the management for arranging this eye-opener session, which proved out to be a fun activity and a source of enlightenment at the same time.
