Despite the many unforeseen challenges of 2020, it has been another year of exciting new firsts at Digicorp. Because the COVID-19 pandemic meant we as a team could no longer share the same office space, we seamlessly transitioned to a work-from-home workforce in March 2020.
Even as we were setting up and adjusting to our home offices, Digicorp interviewed 295 candidates and added 19 team members. This growth under less than ideal conditions is a testament to the value of our work to our clients, something for which we are extremely grateful.
We had a monthly address from the Founder’s desk to share kudos, company updates, and demos of our latest work. We held various training sessions so we stay apprised of all the latest tech and techniques in our field.
With more than a dozen releases this year, we launched products like TechSoup DAT, Rocketship Goals, JetPacked, SplitByte, EHR Platform Apps, RightSense Platform, QpiAi Platform, Propeller Angular Framework, and Websites for Digicorp, Propeller, Avetalive, RightSense, Chetna India, QpiAi, AlphaICS, and Nagori Institute.
To remain cohesive in times of social distancing, we upped our Slack usage and held regular Zoom, Uberconference, and Google Meet video conferences. And, we didn't just “zoom” for work; there was plenty of playtime too, all thanks to our HR team who made sure that Digicorpians were well taken care of. We had a virtual Bollywood trivia challenge, tambola(housie) with a twist, a Group meetup call with all play and no work agenda, A wellness session by a health expert based on an ergonomic survey conducted, virtual birthday celebrations, surprise gift vouchers, yearly bonus and more...
All in all, 2020 has taught each one of us something - patience, adjusting with situations, multi-tasking, improving communication skills, adapting to new tools, learning new technology, some of us learned to cook, maintaining mini gardens, reading books, watching web series and spending time with family.
