Won First Prize in an E&R Kaleidoscope Event


E&R (Education and Research) is the team at Infy which facilitates learning (facilities like library, certifications are all included in that). They have been celebrating a week as E&R Kaleidoscope, every year. Out of the many events (like code writing contest for s/w engineers), they were conducting this time, there was one contest which was a glossary creation contest. We had to create glossaries (under different segments like manufacturing, retail, software engineering etc) – I chose “ES” as the category.

On Friday, I received a mailer informing me that I have won FIRST PRIZE in the contest. The second position is also occupied from Pune DC and the third belongs to an Infoscion based out of Houston, US.

Today from 9.30 to 11.30 AM we had a prize distribution ceremony. The winners from Bangalore DC had the privilege to receive the prize from the hands of Kris himself who gave a closing speech asking us to keep “learning”. Other senior management people gave away the prizes in other DCs. The whole program from all across the DCs was telecasted on V/C. I received a certificate of appreciation and a small gift.

Happy to have won my second "award" at Infy. The first one was a C-LIFE award. Hope to get more such occasions.
