Omnie Solutions Pays Tribute to Moms on Mother’s Day

A mothers’ importance cannot possibly be honored in one day alone but every year on Mother’s Day everyone gives it their best effort by taking time to present their mothers with gifts and spending quality time with them.

At Omnie Solutions, we too recognize the significance of motherhood and the vital role moms play in our day-to-day lives.  We are proud of all the smart and successful women who are employed with us and this year, we decided to honor all of Omnie Solutions’ amazing moms with a fun Mother’s Day bash.

Our festivities included all of the usual celebratory components but this year we also endeavored to put a unique spin on the celebration by putting together a meaningful conference where Omnie Solutions moms were encouraged to share stories, sentiments and tips and tricks of the mommy trade. 

The ladies were able to hang out comfortably and discuss child-rearing topics like picky eaters, sibling rivalries and the importance of not overindulging children, as tempting as it may be!  It’s often said that raising children is the most difficult job in the world and that kids don’t come with an instruction manual.  Both of these statements are true and the Omnie Solutions Mother’s Day discussion was our way of offering our hard-working moms a measure of support amongst kindred companions.

It wasn’t all so serious however.  Like any good party, our Mother’s Day celebration was accompanied by a terrific assortment of food and drinks, including delicious Vegetable Biryani and Ice Cream for dessert!

Omnie Solutions moms were also encouraged to play fun games and take part in amusing brainteasers.  Everyone received lovely party favors in the form of custom photo mugs featuring pictures of themselves and their children and by the end of the day, Mrs. Nidhi Maheshwari was awarded the grand prize of the day- a beautiful cosmetics gift pack.         

At Omnie Solutions, we acknowledge that a company is only as good as the people that are behind it.  This is why it’s so important to recognize and support our employees, not just on one day, but year round- much like we do with our mothers.  Still, throwing a party every now and then is good for the soul. J  Happy Mother’s Day to the amazing moms here at Omnie Solutions and to every mother around the world!

No Party is better than “Back to School Party”

The saying “company culture is the king” is true and the HR team at Omnie Solutions strictly follows this rule to create an amazing work culture for their team members. This time, the HR came up with the idea “Back to School Days”, an event held on Saturday 2^nd, May 2015 to make the culture more interesting and recreate the magic of school days. The event was entertaining and full of fun. Everyone enjoyed a lot and participated whole heartedly to make it a huge success. Omnie’s team is not only passionate and creative about digital and technical things like web designing or mobile app development but equally active and creative in extracurricular activities.

Here is how we celebrated and enjoyed the party. We asked the team to dress up according to the school days theme. Just imagine ponytails, socks and ties! Really sounds interesting but to see yourself, your colleagues and team in such a get up - wearing ties, school trousers, tunics and socks is more interesting and amazing. It is a feeling that cannot be described in words.

This is just the beginning of the celebration, there were more exciting things and events which took place. To enjoy the day to the fullest and to re-create the magic of the School Days’ we scheduled a ‘Zero Period’ from 4:30- 5:30pm for all so that they could enjoy this time to their liking- just as it was during our School days. The team was free to do anything of their choice, like catching up with their work buddies, enjoying a cup of tea in the Cafeteria, browsing the latest fashions on the net, placing orders for clothes, shoes or accessories online. In short, anything they would like to do.

Feedback of one of the team member who attended the party!

“I must say that the party reminded me completely of my school days. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing can beat the school days. Thanks to the HR team Of Omnie Solutions for revising “Best days of my life” although for a day but is indeed an amazing feeling.” - Deepika

To make the day more entertaining and exciting we asked our team to bring childhood photographs. We created a beautiful collage with all the cute faces and played a match – up game with all. People were asked to match the photos with the staff members. Again this was real exciting. 

The chain of amusing events continued. We held a joke session where staff came up with humorous and hilarious jokes. Some members also recited interesting facts and figures, Sanskrit shlokas and many such things.

In between all this fun activity, there were delicious and mouth-watering snacks arranged for all the team members. To make the party more real to school and childhood days, snacks included yummy Chocolates, Lollipops, Poppins, Gems, Candies, Donuts, Samosas and Cold Drinks.

Last but not the least, there was a Prize distribution wherein our CEO Mr. Manish Maheshwary judged all the team members (wearing cute school dresses) and chose the best dressed. The 1st prize of 1000 rupees cash was awarded to Gayatri Nagpal and Kanchal khalkho won the 2nd prize of 500 rupees.

The whole idea of this activity to recreate the fun and amusing culture in office by revisiting those beautiful memories of school although for a short time was truly accomplished. I must say, going back to school days was a wonderful experience for all. I would like to thank all the team members who actively participated in this fun activity.

Google Crashes the Wireless Party with Project Fi

On April 22, 2015, Google officially announced Project Fi, an alternate wireless service that further reinforces Google’s foray into the wireless industry.

The tech giant’s plan to shake things up is two-fold.  First, the new service has a unique pay structure that offers consumers who are not data junkies the chance to potentially save on their monthly bill.  It starts with a basic twenty-dollar fee, which covers the cost of basic functions, like domestic and limited international calls, texting, and Wi-Fi.  From there, consumers will be charged $10 for every gigabyte they think they will use.  At the end of the month, any unused data will be refunded. 

Google’s Project Fi is also shaking things up with the company’s ambitious goal to automate Wi-Fi and cellular rotation as necessary.  Currently, consumers can try manually changing their Wi-Fi source when receiving a low signal, but they do so blindly and without any guarantee of finding a better alternative.  Using new technology, Google is attempting to save you the hassle by offering subscribers a wireless plan that will automatically search and choose the best network options throughout your day- wherever you may be. 

According to Nick Fox, the Vice President of Communications Products at Google, “It’s important that wireless connectivity and communication keep pace and be fast everywhere, easy-to-use and accessible to everyone.”  A video posted on Google’s blog reiterated the new technology and vision by affirming, “Connection is a human right”.

Google has teamed up with Sprint and T-Mobile to offer its new service and while Project Fi’s entry as a network has left some industry veterans nervous, both Sprint and T-Mobile seem excited to partner with the powerhouse.  A rep for Sprint has officially released this statement: “We are proud to enable Google’s entry into the wireless industry as a service provider.”

So far, Project Fi only works with the Google Nexus 6 and is available by invite only, which you can apply for on Google’s website. 

Will Project Fi be able to shake up the wireless industry?  Only time will tell but it is safe to say that a company as formidable as Google could introduce the next revolution in wireless services.
