International Women’s Day is always a grand celebration at Perficient GDC Nagpur and Pune. Like every year, Perficient GDC Nagpur and Pune and Women-in-Tech India ERG celebrated our incredible women who light up our workplace with their brilliance and grace. The day was filled with appreciation, empowerment, and, of course, plenty of fun.
March 8th, International Women’s Day, serves as a moment to reflect on the challenges and resilience of women globally and acknowledge the numerous triumphs we women have achieved.
The theme for International Women’s Day this year is Inspire Inclusion. It symbolizes the inclusion of women in not only opportunities but also roles and considerations. The event was also marked by women wearing shades of purple and men dressed in white, adding to the vibrant celebration of diversity and inclusion.
Continuing our cherished tradition, the day began with a heartfelt gesture that resonates with the spirit of honoring strength and grace. Anurag Shivhare, General Manager – GDC Nagpur & Pune, took the time to visit each desk personally, presenting individually signed cards and flowers to our women colleagues. Likewise at Pune, allies felicitated all women colleagues by presenting the cards and flowers.
Acknowledging our Women and Allies
On March 8th, 2022, we proudly launched the Women-in-Tech (WiT) India ERG. This year marks the second anniversary of WiT India ERG, adding an extra layer of significance to our Women’s Day celebration. We started the festivities by taking a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about the WiT events from 2023-2024. It was a moment to recognize the colleagues who contributed to these events. Neha Pasi, a dedicated WiT member, eloquently highlighted the past year’s events. Following this, we honored our colleagues with WiT’s “Proud Supporter” badge for being key contributors to various events organized by WiT India in the past year.

The wave of appreciation was carried to the battlefield of the VASE IT CUP. Cricket fever was at its peak as our passionate team competed in the tournament with 26 teams across IT companies in Nagpur. Playing a series of matches, they reached the finals and secured the first runners-up position for the VASE IT Cup 2024. These talented individuals displayed exceptional skill on the field and embodied the spirit of teamwork and perseverance throughout the competition. Our General Manager, Anurag Shivhare, thanked the team and proudly presented the trophy, recognizing their dedication and sportsmanship.
Congratulations to Team Perficient for securing the 1st runners-up position in the Vase IT Cup Tournament 2024!
Empower Her: Nurturing Health and Wellness
It was time for an enlightening session on health awareness for women - Empower Her: Nurturing Health and Wellness. We had renowned Obstetrician and Gynecologist Dr. Rashmi Shinde as our guest speaker to deliver this informative session.
Dr. Rashmi’s session on women’s health covered vital insights, including lifestyle management, nutrition, reproductive health, and major cancers. Attendees learned about early symptoms, precautions, and recommended screening tests for breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. The informative session, with a diverse turnout of colleagues, aimed to break stereotypes around women’s health. After the session, an extensive Q&A session addressed colleagues’ important queries about women’s health.
Shweta Rawlani Dubey, Sr. HCM Manager GDC, Nagpur & Pune, thanked Dr. Rashmi for her enlightening session on women’s health. Additionally, thanked all the attendees for their active participation and engagement, especially during the interactive session. The celebration reached its sweet conclusion with a delightful cake-cutting ceremony, symbolizing joy, unity, and commitment. But the excitement didn’t stop there! The DJ took over, transforming our gathering into a lively dance floor filled with laughter and fun. This event’s success is attributed to the efforts of Perficient management, the HCM team, WiT ERG, and all our wonderful colleagues. Thank you all for making it memorable!
And here’s to every woman’s power, grace, and achievements in and out of Perficient—you all are incredible, and the world is a better place because of you!
