Who said All Work, No Play? Dear Saimer At the outset, my thanks to all those who said Yes to fitness and sports and took part in the most awaited get together of the year, SaiJosh! The test of skill, agility and mental ability in group games and individual events proved to be a silver lining in the pandemic cloud, especially for those working for over a year in confined spaces or from home with limited team connect. Though an annual feature in the Sai calendar, SaiJosh was deferred in 2020. In many ways, skipping a year spurred the fervency and zeal. The gala sports-centric event elevated spirits, enhanced bonding between cross functional teams and nurtured camaraderie on and off the field. The flipbook you are browsing reverberates the energy and engagement on ground, relives moments of joy and reveals participants’ pride in winning or learnings from loss. Happy viewing, and best wishes for a bright and prosperous New Year! Sincerely Rajesh Vinodrai Naik 2

“A big thank you and a big congratulation to the entire Team for having such a Grand Celebration. The name “Sai Josh - 2021” which you have chosen is inclusive of culture, sports and spirit. Energy and positive aspirations flow just hearing the name. The event was a great success, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Kudos to the HR Team, Committee Members and Management for handling all aspects in a wonderful manner.” Kiran Kumar - Admin “ “Sai Josh fostered fresh energy and strong bondage amongst teams. This has elevated the sense of togetherness. Also, Sai Josh inspired me to re-start my favourite game of Table Tennis which I left after my college days.” Hitesh Desai - HR “ “Sai Josh was a great initiative and I thoroughly enjoyed it. After a long break from sports and gatherings due to Corona, we all had lost the Josh within somewhere. Participation in Sai josh events helped us to break those shackles and find the Josh within. Through events, I got to know people from various functions, and it definitely helped in improving the bonding with CFT members. All in all, It was a great display of Employee engagement across Sai. Employees will definitely feel a sense of belonging from such initiatives.” Manish Mohan - Engineering “ Sharing valuable feedback and encouraging comments from participants and organisers! “What a ‘WOW’ event Sai Josh was, I really felt connected and could express my sportive exuberance. Feel happy to have won a cup in Table Tennis singles tournament. Kudos to the teams, organisers. Special Mention – Miss Jayida, Mr Mani Bhasker, Mr Kiran, Mr Satish (Organizing Team).” Lt.Cdr. Sangamesh - Admin “ “It was great feeling being part of Sai Josh. Intention was to take out sometime and engage with other Saimers as part of this wonderful platform. Above all, winning TT doubles was a pleasant surprise, though played after long gap.” Zakiuddin Karigar - QA “ 15
