Nazri Lawns in Goa., cocktails in hand, the ocean in the background & an evening that reminded every single person why they chose this journey.
This is the final chapter of our 5 year celebration and we want to use it to do something we don't do often enough. Say thank you & with every ounce of meaning we can put into words.
One, Thank you, Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, ISS our Chief Guest. An inspiring leader who now drives Karnataka's digital future as CEO of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM). You reminded us that building from Bengaluru means building for the world.
Two, Thank you, Chandrakanth B.N. You built Theorem from 2 people to 1,300 across four continents and put Mysuru on the global map. Watching you deliver our Opening Note wasn't just an honour, it was a mirror of who Elfonze aspires to be.
Three, Thank you, Jayavaradhan Sambedu & Amrita Tiwary from IACC. Your presence was a powerful reminder that Elfonze's story is also an Indo American story.
Four, Thank you, Rakesh Tergundi. Mentor and technology evangelist who challenges us to think ten steps ahead while the world is still figuring out step one.
Five, Thank you, Saketh Mailapur and Panchakshrappa Pramod. You were there before Elfonze had a logo, an office, or revenue. Your encouragement gave us the courage to start, that is a debt no balance sheet can capture.
Six, Thank you, Ajantha Jayram Shetty from the Basappa Complex days to global expansion, he has been part of the foundation, the kind of support that matters most.
Seven, Thank you to every customer who trusted us, bet on us before we had proof. That trust is not something we take lightly, It is something we earn every single day.
Eight, Thank you Sherin Raj J and Sheethal N.R for leading the performances, and to every performer. 2 hours of brilliance that made 200+ people forget they had flights to catch the next morning. You turned a cocktail dinner into a memory.
Nine, Thank you to the families, the ones who never see the late night calls but feel the weight of them. Who wait up for someone who said "just 30 more minutes" three hours ago. Elfonze runs on your patience, your belief, and your love, we see you.
Ten, Thank you Santhosh Naik, Atin Mishra, Mario, Gowri SivaKumar, Ramesh, Jinesh Kumar MK and Vijai Velu. What you experienced in Goa was put together in 3 weeks by them, not 3 months, that is not event management, that is Elfonze DNA.
Eleven, Thank you to every Elfonze employee across Bengaluru, Denver, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Hyderabad, Dubai and Chennai. You are not a headcount, You are a family, You are Elfonze.
Here is to the next 5. You know who you are.
