Cementing Traditions: Festivals and Togetherness at SJCPL

At SJCPL, Indian festivals are a time for celebration, reflection, and connection. These moments bring us together as a team, allowing us to honour the rich cultural traditions of India while fostering unity and a shared sense of belonging. Festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, and Ganesh Chaturthi are an integral part of our company’s culture, offering everyone—from management to on-site staff—an opportunity to come together, celebrate, and recharge.

Respecting Cultural Traditions

For Dayanand Ashok Gaikwad, our Camp Admin who joined SJCPL in November 2022, Indian festivals hold deep personal significance. "Indian festivals carry lessons that go beyond celebration—they remind us of our roots," he says. But this passion for tradition isn’t just his—it’s something we’ve always valued at SJCPL. We understand that celebrating together not only strengthens our bonds but also helps us reflect on the values that underpin our work.

October: A Month of Festivities

With Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali on the horizon, October is one of the most festive times for us. These festivals provide moments for us to pause, share stories, and appreciate the cultural significance behind each celebration. They offer an important balance to our busy work schedules, allowing us to reconnect with each other on a more personal level.

Strengthening Bonds Through Celebrations

For all of us at SJCPL, these festivals are more than just holidays—they are a reminder of the values we hold dear, both personally and professionally. By celebrating together, we strengthen our sense of community and reinforce the importance of shared purpose in our work. Each festival brings its own lessons, and through these moments, we continue to grow as a team.

Tradition Meets Progress at SJCPL

As a company, we are always focused on innovation and progress, but we never lose sight of our roots. Our festivals are a time to embrace our heritage while continuing to push forward in the modern world. They remind us that tradition and progress can go hand in hand, creating a workplace where both culture and teamwork are celebrated.

As we celebrate the festivals this October, we do so with gratitude—grateful for the opportunity to come together, share in the joy, and honour the traditions that keep us grounded while we continue to grow. At SJCPL, it's these moments of togetherness that remind us of the bigger picture, helping us stay connected to what truly matters.
