We recently completed 8 years of CoinDCX and celebrated it at our company offsite. When @neerajKh_ and I started this journey in 2018, we had no idea where it would take us. This weekend, we celebrated 8 years but not in a boardroom, but at an offsite with the people who made it all possible: our team. But this offsite was different. We made it a "Bring your family to work" day. Honestly, it made the whole event even more exciting. -> Kids were running around everywhere. Parents watched their children walk up on stage, receive awards, and meet the whole team. For many families, it was the first time they truly saw what their children do every day and the culture we have built together. -> My parents also spoke to the entire team about the 8 year journey and shared their best wishes and blessings for the journey ahead. Our employees also shared how their families have been the quiet backbone behind everything they do. It was one of the most moving moments I have experienced at a company event. -> We also had a deeply inspiring session with @GautamGambhir, India's cricket coach and @CoinDCX's brand ambassador. Neeraj and I sat down with him for 30 minutes and spoke to him about his journey, how he builds teams, and the mindset it takes to play long games in work and life. Our team got to ask him questions too and his answers were raw and honest, as he always is. -> And of course. There were performances, great food, music, and a lot of dancing. Building a company is hard. But moments like these remind you why you do it. It's the people. It's always been the people. Here's to 8 years and to many, many more. 💪
