Priyanka’s Visit to India and Pune Office Opening

From mid of June I visited India and traveled across several cities including New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore for almost 3 weeks. The visit held a multi-agenda and was highly fruitful. I was accompanied in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore by our CFO, Anoj Swain. I have had the opportunity to work with Anoj closely over the years, and as always it was great to have his company, his presence contributing greatly to the productive tour. 

This visit, I believe has left a strong impression on me and will always hold a special place in my heart for several reasons:

• Firstly, I met with many from our team in person after months and even years of working together with them for the first time. I will always hold close to me the  regard and love that I received. I was able to spend meaningful time with them, have lunch or dinner, make customer visits, prospective office locations and have in-depth conversations about their plans, Compliance Cart and Groupsoft. Starting with a lovely lunch and Turkish ice cream with Pratishtha, Shivangi and Vidhi at Delhi;  the authentic Bengali cuisine at Kolkata with Shubhankar, Sanjan and Subham; visiting Ritika’s home and meeting her lovely family including her little son, Atharva; spending quality time with Denish, Gunjan and Indrayani at Pune, including the early morning visit to the revered Ganpati temple; and finally the fun evening at Bangalore with Pradeep, Arun, Ishika, Ameena, Mani and the GKPOS team including Lavish, Rohit, Sudarshan, Vijay, and Anuradha. A special thank you to Pradeep for his efforts. I missed meeting Abid CP at Bangalore, hope to meet you soon on my next visit :).

 The positive and enthusiastic mood was absolutely infectious and I cannot begin to say how motivated and energized I feel.

• I have been aware that the team has been eager to return to work from office and understandably so. One of the agendas on my tour was to take this opportunity to visit some potential  office locations for Compliance Cart and Groupsoft in Pune and Bangalore. While we identified some good options, we are yet to finalize one.

• Lastly, but essential to share is the customer experience. The Compliance Cart team in this short span met more than a dozen prospects and potential partners spread across 5 cities and gained some serious traction. These meetings were highly rewarding and we know after meeting with industry heads that we are on the right path. Our hard work is not only validated but the fact that Compliance Cart is eagerly welcomed by the industry is extremely uplifting and encouraging.

A special thanks to Shubhankar for his efforts to put the tour together, meticulously plan the meetings and coordinate with the customers. Thanks to Pratishtha for the critical in-person and virtual support, as also to Denish, during the customer meetings. 

We are undoubtedly geared for success, be prepared to reach great heights and accomplish much, TOGETHER.
