Vibrant Atmosphere with Traditional Attire
We kicked off our Pongal celebration by embracing the heart of tradition. In the spirit of this cultural fiesta, employees adorned themselves in dhotis, ethnic sarees, and dresses that echoed the rich essence of the farming community. While we couldn’t plough the fields, these moments brought the cultural heartbeat of Pongal to life, blending the past seamlessly with our modern workplace. Every outfit became a nod to our roots, creating a vibrant, living tribute to the festival’s enduring significance.

Team Formation: Creating Camaraderie with 4 Teams and Captains
The excitement soared as we delved into the heart of our Pongal celebration, where team formation became the catalyst for fostering camaraderie. With 120 employees in the mix, we crafted a dynamic tapestry by organizing them into four teams, each led by a spirited captain. The stage was set for not just friendly competition but the cultivation of a shared spirit that echoed the values of collaboration and unity within the Corent Cloud family.
Bunanza!
Our brave bun-slingers started with a gentle warm-up: consuming the most buns in 5 minutes, as a team! Tactics flew faster than crumbs. Some teams devised human conveyor belts, others employed synchronized bite-and-pass techniques. It was a hilarious display of teamwork and strategy, with bun-filled bellies and roaring laughter filling the room.
Breath of Fun: Inflating Laughter and Teamwork
Next, they traded buns for balloons in a test of agility and quick thinking. Each team had 2 minutes to blow up and burst as many balloons as possible. The air crackled with popping sounds and cheers as teams scrambled to maximize their balloon bonanza. The unexpected hero? A fast-paced team that uncovered a talent for supersonic lung capacity!
Unseen Champions: Conquering the Course, Together
Now, things got personal (and a little wobbly). Three members from each team donned blindfolds, while their remaining teammate became their guiding voice with a microphone. The challenge? Navigate a water bottle obstacle course without knocking anything over! It was a hilarious test of trust, communication, and creative footwork. The twist? The rest of the crowd cheered and confused them with catcalls and confusing directives. Laughter and near-collisions filled the air, showcasing the importance of clear communication and unwavering trust.
The Great Image Unmasking: A Challenge of Perception
Finally, it was time for a mental fest. Teams faced a rapid-fire round of zoomed-in images, from a fuzzy tennis ball to a disguised orange peel. It was a battle of wits and lateral thinking, with teams shouting out answers in a race against time. In the end, the team with the sharpest eyes and quickest minds emerged victorious, proving that brainpower is just as important as stomach power.

And let’s not forget the mountains of laughter and countless memories made.
