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!

Republic Day

January 30th, 2022

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.

Diwali

November 15th, 2021

Diwali is festival of lights and togetherness. In the lead-up to diwali celebration we decorated the office with flowers and other ready-made props. Also we made different rangolis with powered colors and flower petals. Everyone gives their best to make an office look-like an elegant classic place with plenty of positive vibes. During diwali celebration we had a pooja at the office to praise god and earn their blessings. Later then diwali gift was handed out to the employees as a token of strength and prosperity for the upcoming year. And the event ended up with flavorful lunch and a lot of memorable pictures. I feel so fortunate to be a part of the exceptional event…Thank you Odysseus Team.

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

Hackathon

February 27th, 2021

Hackathons are the coolest thing to happen with IT industry and more specifically with Odysseus, the event that makes you think beyond the limits or processes. This was my 2nd year of participation in Hackathon and each year it brings different challenges. It is great to team up with people from different departments and achieve a common goal, IDEA. Needless to say, the fun activities along with Hackathon are also as interesting as your ideas. Participate and experience by yourself.

Happy Hours

April 8th, 2020

I was happy to see an email from our HR Team about conducting fun activities i.e Happy hour. As we were lost in our regular office works as well as the pandemic situation wasn’t letting us think of any such, but thanks to our HR team they came up with such innovative thought by organizing fun activities while we were exhausted in our work from home setup. One more best thing that helped us to keep an eye on our health was the bi-weekly virtual workout sessions. Every session we used to have such an amazing exercise that I didn’t want to miss any of these sessions. My sincere thanks to all our trainers for taking care of our fitness by training us with simple and effective exercises which we cannot forget and will try our best to continue the same and challenge ourselves to stretch our limits.

I would like to thank “Odysseus” for making last weekend of January 2020 so much different, fun, exciting, full of creativity and innovation. Hackathon is always fantastic to push you and your team to the limits and prove to yourself what you are truly capable of. It was an amazing experience for us as a team. The task we chose, really inspired our team to try out new approaches and solutions which our company will surely benefit from in the future. Within the 24 hours of the Hackathon, we really had very great insights, we not only learnt new technology but also learnt management of time, resources, leadership and communication skills.

December 1st, 2019

Physical fitness is very important when you are working in IT industry, so I rely on workouts via playing my favorite game “CRICKET”, it is good to play with colleagues! I thoroughly enjoyed hitting so many fours and sixes and luckily we also won the match After a great match, we were super hungry and Odysseus knows very well how to take care of their employees, we enjoyed eating yumlicious tummy filling snacks afterwards @ Kalyan Cafe. All in all cricket playing is no less than a festival for us.

Hawaiian Day

November 29th, 2019

You know you can’t resist the thought of roaming around beautiful beaches in shorts & flipflops along with having sips of sweet coconut water when you think of going on a vacation. It felt like a real vacation when I celebrated Hawaiian day with my teammates & colleagues here at Odysseus. Celebrations at Odysseus stand apart from other occasions you celebrate round the year because it doesn’t let you feel ordinary about events & occasions, you’re participating in. It’s almost been a year with Odysseus for me & it feels like I’ve joined this wonderful organization yesterday. Many thanks, kudos to the HR team & other social committee members of Odysseus Solutions for keeping alive the spirit of Holiday Season and making even the smallest moments memorable and special.
