Learn MoreJoining Mimecast at the beginning of the year, especially as part of the new office in India, has been an extraordinary experience.
Reflecting on the past six months, the journey has been nothing short of incredible. Marked by a vibrant culture, a welcoming environment and remarkable leadership. From day one, I was struck by the warmth and approachability of everyone, particularly the leadership team. Having worked in various organizations, I can confidently say that the Mimecast leadership is the most accessible I have encountered. An open-door policy fosters an environment of trust and collaboration, enabling us to feel valued and heard. This has been pivotal in creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, from young professionals to more seasoned employees.
The talent within the India office is impressive. It is inspiring to witness the dedication and expertise of my colleagues. Each day brings opportunities to learn from and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry. The team here is not just growing in numbers, but also in strength and capability, continually raising the bar for excellence. Our office space is another highlight. It is vibrant and thoughtfully designed, making it a place where you genuinely want to spend time. The energy within the walls is contagious, sparking creativity and productivity. It is a hub where ideas flow freely and innovation is encouraged.
A significant milestone was our celebration of the one-year anniversary of our office in Bengaluru, India. This event was a testament to our collective achievements and the strong community we have built.
The festivities began with a town hall featuring our Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), and Senior Vice President (SVP) of Engineering. Their presence and insights into Mimecast’s vision, and the strategic role India plays as an R&D hub, underscore the importance of Bengaluru within the global Mimecast family.
I then had the honor of hosting a fireside chat with our CHRO! The teams were able to ask questions on any topic and was a wonderful opportunity to get to know our CHRO better and have direct connection with a senior leader. When I was first approached about hosting this event, I was surprised, but also felt a bit apprehensive about whether I would be able to pull it off. However, our CHRO made the experience seamless. She was a breeze to talk to, was very candid and made my role more manageable and enjoyable.
We recognized the invaluable work of local charities, Liza’s Home and TIDE India. Their dedication to environmental resilience and supporting under-resourced communities resonates deeply with Mimecast’s core values. We made contributions to each charity, reaffirming our commitment to making a positive impact. The celebration concluded with a team building that brought us closer together and reinforced our commitment to mutual support.
As we look ahead, the future is bright. We continue to expand our team in India, seeking talented individuals who are passionate about making a difference. If you are looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic and supportive environment, come join us!
The past six months at Mimecast India has been a journey of growth, learning and community building. The culture, leadership and office environment all contribute to an exceptional workplace experience. I am excited to see what the future holds as we continue to grow and make a meaningful impact together!
