Life @ Marico: The Way We Work

Fun @ Marico:
While we work hard, we also party harder. It’s what makes us a vibrant organization. For us Mariconians, fun is a way of life.

Marico Day is celebrated at all manufacturing locations. This is a day of cultural and entertainment programmes along with recognition forum. The participation is encouraged not only from the members but also from their families.
These initiatives are not driven by HR, and are function driven. For organization wide initiatives, we form a team of members from various functions, to drive the initiative.

‘Friday Dhamakas’ are regularly held, encouraging participation from all employees. This event has a lot of interesting games and exercises.

Birthdays are special days at Marico. Every Marico team celebrates their members birthday durning office hours, on the day of the birthday or the nearest working day.

External Cricket Tournaments – Saran’s Mc’Dowalds corporate cricket tournament; Matches with our Associates like our Advertising Agency, as well as, internal matches.

Department Offsite: Respective departments go with their team to a place, and have fun.

1000 Crore Celebrations:
The best celebration that we have had this year has been the “1000 Crore evening” This was done to celebrate the most amazing achievement of the organization, where in this year we crossed the huge milestone of 1000 crores in turnover. This was the case of a wonderful journey started in 1990 when Marico was formed, the turnover then was 80+ crores.
The celebration was very unique in its theme, where in CMD had personally invited all the members. The invitation was also extended to all the ex-members where ever they were - the objective was to recognize the efforts of all members (current & ex) who have been part of this wonderful journey. Around 120+ ex-members attended the celebration and an equal number sent their good wishes. It was indeed an emotional evening. We had done an un-common thing of inviting ex-Mariconians to celebrate the occasion with Mariconians. Some of the messages we got from ex-Mariconians who could not attend the occasion were really touching. It was an evening to remember.
