Masala Chai with MD is an exclusive experience designed for our colleagues to connect with the

company's MD in an informal setting. Everyone is given the chance to speak while maintaining a
friendly and conversational tone. These sessions provide a one-of-a-kind increased connection with
the leadership.

Thank you for being a part of the tribe; your contributions are significant, and we are accomplishing
great things together. Keep an eye out for future sessions.

Here's how some of our colleagues who attended the recent session felt about it.

Chirag Joshi, Static equipment manager

“Whenever I had Masala Chai sessions with our beloved MD, it immensely fills me with positivity and
so as this time too. His thoughts and vision of the future business, people development, and
organization values are unmatchable. In such sessions, he always wants people to be open and can
share or discuss any topic transparently. This approach encourages colleagues to actively participate
by asking questions or doubts they have. I am always grateful to MD to spare time with colleagues in
such informal sessions”.

Dolee B. Shanishchara, GCITM

“I would like to thank the management for arranging a platform where we can directly communicate
with MD. Through the discussion, I came across diverse topics like Artificial intelligence, Cross-
cultural sensitivity, and many more. I felt motivated and strive to improve myself to achieve the
company’s Goal. It also inspired me to become one of the leaders in Global Construction in India”.
