Spectrum's First Anniversary Celebration


We, Thirty-one graduates joined Mind Tree on April 19th, 2004. Our batch includes people from almost all part of India, and it’s a perfect mixture of Indian culture. During the last one year, only one of us left Mindtree. On Tuesday April 19th, 2005 we decided to arrange a small cake cutting function at Mind tree’s cafeteria, which is named as Neem Tree. We invited Subroto Bagchi, COO & President of Mind Tree and delivery heads and those who lead our training program when we joined Mind Tree. We called ourselves spectrum and the individuals as spectramites. We enjoyed a lot during the training periods and organized many programs in Mind Tree. The SPARCS activities where mainly done by us, the spectramites. Our training was over by 2 months and we were allocated to different projects. Even though we were separated by projects and distance, we were in touch through small gatherings and mails.

This kind of a program is organized in Mind Tree for the first time by a batch. The function started at 6:30 PM, few of the spectramites shared their experience in Mindtree. The guests like, Subroto Bagchi, Babuji Abraham, Srinivas B Rao etc, shared with us what they felt about us. Later we cut the cake and sang Happy Birthday to spectrum. Subroto pointed out that spectramite's willingness and mentality to come out with the celebration themselves, and not waiting for somebody else to come and say "Congratulations for the successful completion of one year in Mind Tree" is really great and he asked us to keep up this enthusiasm through out the life. Nandini Ray and Sharmila Prakash presented us with to nice Hindi Songs. I played the Tamil song, “Ennavale Adi Ennavale – Kadhalan – Unnikrishnan” for spectramites. Later we all went for the dinner in Chung's restaurant, Jayanagar 4th block and reached back home around 10:00 pm.

The one-year in Mind Tree changed our life a lot. We learned many things technical and many other soft skills through organizational training programs and from people of Mind Tree.
