On the occasion of International Volunteer Day, we were joined by the Changemakers – members of Hughes Systique's CSR team of Parivartan, the super men & women of HSC who have always contributed with their time, efforts and thoughts to make all the initiatives of this year a success. As a small token of our gratitude, we presented them with a plant as a symbol of growth and remembrance. We thanked our volunteers, for not just doing good & giving back to the society but also for inspiring us all to keep going beyond. To those who couldn’t join us in person, their efforts and commitment have been equally invaluable, and we celebrate them with the same gratitude and pride.

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.

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. The Inclusion Run acts as a reminder “that disability doesn’t mean inability” and challenges the stereotypes by initiating a dialogue. 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.
