Arowana Consulting Reminiscing 2013

Shifting into new office. 

The year 2013 was an 'Eventful Year',- when we say eventful, it means a year filled with happening activities both on professional as well as entertainment levels. In India we believe in, 'Shubh Aarambh' or a 'Good Beginning'. It is believed that all good beginnings have good endings. We began our year by shifting our office to Sanskriti Signet near Silk board. A new well furnished two floored office brought in warm spirits of a healthy work environment. Projects began to flow in, teams were assigned various development projects that needed to meet client requirements. The talent acquisition team have found the best talents to work at Arowana. Young, energetic people who help to keep the work environment fun. A one day excursion was planned and all the employees had gone on a trek to Ramanagara hills. It was a fun day out.

We have a lot of actors in our company some natural, some who love to imitate. In order to bring these actors on stage Vivek Vijayakumar, a theater artist offered to conduct a workshop for the interested actors at the end of the training session. The actors staged a play written, enacted and directed by Arowana Theater team. However, these actors missed a chance of acting for Arowana Studios.

April was a big month for Arowana Studios, sister group of Arowana. 'Lessons in Forgetting' a National Award winning film directed by Mr Unni Vijayan and produced by Mr Prince Thampi was released on April 19th, 2013. The film has been screened across the  globe at  various  film festivals and clubs.
