One of the most awaited festivals of the year, Diwali, was celebrated with much fun, frolic and joy by HSCians across locations, be it in Bengaluru, Dehradun, Farnham Common in the UK, Germantown in the US, Gurugram or Noida. The celebrations that began with the wonderful decorations of Rangoli and Diyas, were quickly taken over by the online games which kept those HSCians entertained who could not join the festivities in person. On the day of the celebration, we welcomed the families of our employees - the extended members of the HSC family for an enjoyable afternoon in which people of all age groups & interests were kept thoroughly occupied with plenty of activities. Be it the Magic or Talent show for the little ones to the Mirror selfie points for the Insta conscious or the exciting games of Tambola, Lucky Draw and Musical chairs. Setting the tone of the festive spirit with Dandiya, the day was topped with an inviting spread of lunch, making it tough for HSCians to choose from! The festival of light which brings together families, is especially a heartening affair at Hughes Systique Corporation (HSC) as we get to meet our extended family members and celebrate Diwali in style! Even though we celebrated at different locations and continents, the thought remains the same. We look forward to welcoming them once again next year with even greater excitement.
At the recently concluded Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, HSCians partnered up with Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF) – the official inclusion ally of the marathon, for a run that will remain etched in their memories for long. As part of the inclusion run, Mr. Gaurav Melty, Mr. Lokendra Singh Rathour, Mr. Lokesh Batra, Mr. Mayank Maheshwari & Ms. Sushma Devi were paired along people with disabilities for a 10K run and walk covering the picturesque sights of central Delhi including The India Gate. They were also joined by HSCians Mr. Amol Pathak, Mr. Anirudh Gupta and Mr. Lovejeet Singh, who completed their respective runs.

By partnering with the decision makers, the run also aims to inspire the leaders for promoting diverse & inclusive workspaces which is welcoming of persons with disabilities and reduces discrimination and marginalisation against them.

HSCians Mamta Sharma, Rama Nayal, Shivali Batra, recently completed a Women Leadership Certification Program – SHAKTI. This 4 month - 40 hours hybrid program was hosted by WILL Education and UPES, Dehradun. The immersive program was made even more enriching with the esteemed professors of UPES along with several inspiring guest speakers. The learning went beyond leadership theories to focus on self-discovery, practical tools, and real-world application. Mamta, Rama & Shivali share a few points from their experience & notes as to what made the program impactful: • Highly interactive sessions encouraging reflection and peer learning. • Strong blend of theory and practice with real-world examples. • A safe space to step out of comfort zones and explore new perspectives. The program emphasised that “Leadership isn’t always about being at the front—it’s about listening, creating inclusive spaces, and ensuring every voice is heard”. As they gear up to apply their learnings to practical situations, Rama, also a poet, pens a monostich summing up the journey ahead. “Together we rise, together we grow, Lighting the path for others to follow."

The Himalayas—rich in culture, spirituality, and ecology—are facing severe floods, landslides, and cloudbursts this year. HSCian Shubham Sharma recalls his trek to Adi Kailash and Om Parvat, saying, “Every turn revealed nature in its rawest, most sacred form. The stillness, the snow-capped peaks, and the spiritual energy left us speechless.” From religious significance to ecological balance, the Himalayas deserve urgent attention.
