18-Anniversary-Celebration

December 22nd, 2023

18 years ago, a vision took root. That vision blossomed into a reality we're proud to celebrate. Reflecting on my personal voyage within the Odysseus family, even though I haven't been here since longer time, it feels as I've been a part of this exceptional journey for a lifetime . The welcoming embrace, the ingrained culture, the exceptional people, and the synergistic teamwork make work and day here, exciting. On the joyous occasion of Odysseus' 18th anniversary, we embarked on a day brimming with jubilation. Our festivities kicked off with dessert competition, where each team unleashed their creativity and served some delectable treats. In keeping with our annual tradition of giving back to the community, we extended heartfelt invitations to children from NGOs across all our locations. This heartwarming gesture was met with radiant smiles as we engaged in shared moments of cake cutting, exchanged laughter over snacks, and presented them with tokens of joy. Their happy farewell faces made our day better. This wholesome celebration was a harmonious symphony of music, dance, culinary delights, and camaraderie. It encapsulated the spirit of Odysseus - a journey that intertwines aspirations, accomplishments, and a commitment to positively impact the communities we touch. Wishing Odysseus many more successful years ahead!

Company Outing

December 22nd, 2023

In September 2023, Odysseus Solutions planned an exciting picnic for all of its employees in Bengaluru, together with their families, at the Guhantara resort, which included an extremely original mediaeval caverns theme. Since every employee is typically quite busy with work, the team outing served as a stress reliever. Additionally, it strengthened our friendship and allowed us get to know one another better. The day was fun with exciting activities, such as the rain dance, zip line, swimming pool and a few indoor games like foosball, table tennis, carom and pottery. Many of us even participated in football and cricket games. It was very fun-filled overall where a lot of us showed us their dance moves which included making reels. Making lifelong memories and participating in the picnic was something we cherished greatly.

Every year on March 8th, we celebrate Women’s Day, and this year’s theme was “EmbraceEquity”. Every year, Odysseus makes us feel special by celebrating with all of the power-pack women in the office, and this year was no exception. We were given gifts, followed by a modest celebration, which made everyone recognize their worth and inspired them to accomplish their full potential. It expresses a manner of expressing gratitude to all the women in one’s life. I am glad that Odysseus always encourages women and makes every effort to support and help them achieve their dreams in any way possible.

The most thrilling activity is Secret Santa in which we distribute surprise gifts to our coworkers over the course of a week without exposing who we are. The enjoyment is increased by the inclusion of thrilling & extremely enjoyable events like Tie-Dye Day Theme Outfits and Treasure Hunt.

I would like to thank Odysseus Solutions for giving a big push for women on this Women’s day, followed by the Great martial Arts training session. It motivates us to take a pledge to protect ourselves from all the odds, no matter where they are. We celebrated this as all about valuing oneself and realizing one’s full potential.

Company Outing – Baroda & Anand

March 6th, 2022

Picnics are very important as they add pleasantness to our lives. The picnic tends to bring out the best in us. We were able to enjoy ourselves physically as well as mentally at the picnic. I would like to share my recent picnic experience at Dev’s Camp which was led by our organization. As it was surrounded by good nature, we couldn’t hold ourselves to take lots of pics. We also played some outdoor games and enjoyed activities at Dev’s Camp including Adventure Junction, Rainforest Rain Bath, Zipline, etc. Moreover, it gives us a chance to speak our minds and relax. Thank You, Odysseus, for the memorable and lovely trip.

Wall of Love

February 25th, 2022

Wall of Love – the wall that creates positive vibes around you in the office, which is loaded with the love of all the employees of the company, where you can speak your heart out and express your love for the Work Place! Every one was befuddled, When the moment came, folks enthusiastically pummel the sticky notes with their lovely comments, gradually piled up the entire wall. The many hues of sticky notes and decorations looked incredible and eye-catching. Accidently remembered the Pushpa Movie theme tag line, so, I rephrased one of the dialogue as “Odysseus naam sun k greek god samjhe kya Travel booking Solutions ka baap hai mein”. HAhAha! It was a great pleasure seeing people laughing, enjoying themselves, and sharing their love towards company. Thank you, Odysseus Solutions, for a Amazing Day!

The day 26th January is a matter of great pride as it commemorates the historic sacrifices that led India to be a sovereign, independent nation. This year, on the occasion of The Republic Day, our HR team had organised a fun filled happy hour having everyone dressed in Indian Flag theme. The event began with a quick fun quiz which was followed by a Tricolor DIY Décor Items or Accessories making activity. Both employees working from office and home participated in this event and it was so much fun to showcase our art and creativity to evoke the patriotic nostalgia and make The Republic Day memorable.

16th Anniversary Celebration

July 17th, 2021

Odysseus offers one of the most collaborative cultures I’ve ever experienced. I love the challenge, the thrill, the work and the people here that keeps me going even after 6 successful years of work with Odysseus.It’s good to check yourself occasionally and ascertain whether you’re still happy at certain periods of your career. Yet I feel that I’ve worked with so many clients across diverse industries, and I’ve had such a variety of experiences that I’ve never felt the need to pursue a job with another company. It’s the challenge, the excitement and the thrill that gets me out of bed, and that, to me, is the reason why I continue my career journey with Odysseus Solutions. On this occasion of 16 years of Odysseus, I wish my company huge altitude of success and ground breaking profits in the coming years

Needless to say, the fun activities along with Hackathon are also as interesting as your ideas. Participate and experience by yourself.
