It's nice to know that people like Saurav Bhatia are doing something new which we don’t get in a big corporate. This I am saying because I ve worked before and with many people like Saurav..In our snacks session one the most important topic to discuss among us was abt the company policies, benefits.. and all the time we found our company in a deficit side and other companies better than ours. But As the grass always looks greener on the other side the benefits of the other companies are like a GAZAR....wh attracts u then u r trapped...People like us dont bother abt the gr8 benefits like insurance, LTA, Reimbursement, etc cuz these things are offerd in almost every company. so in what way we as a company is different from others!!!

As Madhu said earlier those benefits are good but they are very generic in nature...Now my congratulation to Saurav not only for his success in establishing a company of his own but also for implementing the small small things which we were deprived while working together in a big corporate. Taking the teams to a movie together ll give us tremendous belongingness than the hi fi insurances...Yesterday I attended one session by one of the prominent person of Infosys...What I heard frm him was quite interesting but dont know how much this is liked by the employees...For example they organize various events (rangoli,football match, cricket match, n many competition, etc) but can somebody tell me how many are truly interested to participate in these kind of events. Did we take a consensus from the employees who are the ultimate stakeholders for whom these things are done for organizing these events!!

Why people like Saurav are not happy with the "So called pen n paper" policies/benefits of big corporate!! n now they are implementing these things in their small but growing organizations!! Or is it the agreement between the big corporate to offer the same n generic benefits... When they ll differentiate themselves...Now its time to get some practical experiences of people who can site about some differentiating factor...abt their organization....I ve no offence against ne of these big organizations but my only concern is when they ll come frm the top of the ladder to listen the employees who are at the bottom of the pyramid to listen what exactly they want!! there are many good things to say abt all abt these organizations....I too respect Saurav for respecting the cause for which I left my old organization...that to go for higher studies...wh is highly discouraged in these organizations for their opportunistic behavior n bounded rationality...when they ll also make policies which ll make the employees feel like they belong(truly not only in Payroll) to the company....This is really a serious issue to think over n discuss...where we can know abt the prevailing benefit structure across all the corporation starting frm small to big...IT to manufacturing....At the end this is for the people like us who are the employees and base of these big companies....
