Celebrating 11th Birthday of FR India

11/1/12 was a special day for India RainMakers as we celebrated our 11th Birthday with series of events, fun activities, cake cutting and some delicious snacks.

We started with creating posters where each event team created poster for FR with some great ideas, posters are still available in recreation room where anyone can take a look. We will retain them for next couple of weeks.

Birthday seems incomplete without gift, hence each event team brought some gift for FR and this became interesting as the budget allocated was limited. And all surprised with level of innovation and creativity for buying gifts for FR where we saw beautiful aquarium, wall clock with FR logo, desk calendar and NGO cards, Games, Feng Shui evil eye that protects our workplace from negative energy and  musical knife and glass plate for birthday celebrations that can be used for monthly birthday celebrations in office.

Then last but not least we had some great snacks and soft drinks.

Teams are waiting for scores and that would be published today :)

Diwali Celebrations

21st October and 24th October were special days for Rainmakers as we all celebrated Diwali before the actual holidays.

On 21st October, we organized a Quiz contest in presence of Marty, he was part of Go Green team. It was an interesting event where people were asked questions about two themes

-        Know your peers

-        Ramayana (One of the greatest India Epic)

On Monday, 24th October we started the day with sweets and Diwali wishes, wonderful snacks in afternoon followed by special delicious lunch. Immediately after lunch Aparna announce Diwali gift and everyone welcomed it with big cheers.

Then we had Tambola time, Chitra was hosting the event and everyone played, cheers and shouting for each house and each corner.

What a wonderful day with full of fun, food and masti!

Pictures are coming soon!!!

Rainmakers walked the Ramp

On 22nd Sep, 2011 we organized fashion show at recreation area of our India office. Three themes were decided on which participants were asked to be prepared and walk on the ramp.

- Ethnic

- Formal

- Open (something innovative)

Participants from all 6 teams walked the ramp and made the event a success in-spite of having meeting lined up, midyear appraisals in progress and fire fighting the release targets. Thanks to all Rainmakers from bottom of our Hearts. Especially Rajiv for hosting the event, Ajay for being official photographer and Atif for recording entire event.

Live the moments again, here are some pictures

Event Group official LOGO

We are happy to unveil new official logo of FR Event Group. Thanks to Arvind for the help. 

Event group History & Adieu to old Event group

We started event group way back in 2006 with motivation of building team spirit among employees and also adding fun factor with regular events and celebrations that could be morale booster for employees. Idea was to provide opportunity to all so that everyone can spare some fun time apart from regular work.

Chitra and Rajiv started event group in 2006 and Binay and Kushagra joined in 2010. They did great job of managing all events, celebrations and fun activities till August 2011. In August 2011 we (Ankush, Chris & Jalvin) took over from old event group.

Here is our old event group (Rajiv, Kushagra, Binay & Chitra)

And here we are, new event group (Ankush, Chris & Jalvin)

  

We hope to meet high standards set by old event group and keep up the momentum and fun factor alive among employees.
