The first working day of the New Year began with a bang for all at Six Inches. The year began without all the mundane resolutions; instead what we had was a minor revolution. Pravin Shah (MD and CEO) blazed the trail with a heart stirring speech on his mission to take Six Inches to the next level. Together, we celebrated last year’s success and charted the course we are to embark on this year.

Anisha Bafna (Manager, HR) delighted us with the revelry of the previous year while Pravin Gaikar (GM Finance) enlightened us with the remarkable journey of Six Inches, right from its inception to the big leap it took in such a short span of time.

Amit Badle (Creative Director – Copy) and Reshma Basankar (Creative Director – Art) engaged the entire team with really cool interactive activities. One of which was totally unexpected. They cajoled, coaxed and forced us all to give a drop of our blood. After all our blood was collected in a test tube, they explained how now we were all in this together. They went on to toast the team spirit at Six Inches. It left us and our hearts with a sense of belonging.

The servicing team was up next. Ashish Bosman (Manager, Business Development) showed us the endless possibilities and prospects of BTL communication, while Aashish Chawda (Account Manager) inspired us all with clips from the movie Lagaan and shared his thoughts on leadership and teamwork. Cheryl Britto (Account Manager – Brands) was the last one to speak from the servicing team and her heartfelt speech on her experience of the last two years at the agency brought about an applause that resonated in our entire office. There may have been a tear or two in a few eyes.

And when Pravin Shah took center stage once again, we knew something grand was about to unfold. And grand it was – The Six Inches World Cup 2011.
