Azimuth Women's Day Celebration 2012

Women's Day 2012 was celebrated in true Azimuth style with a classically crisp and professional program. The entire company turned out to pay tribute and recognize the contributions and achievement of women, specifically the ladies working at Azimuth.

The event got off to a rosy start with the Azi ladies being greeted and gifted at the Venue with beautiful pink roses. Historically, with respect to Women's Day, roses are said to symbolize a better quality of life.

The program was inaugurated with a speech presented by the DGM-Production of Azi, Chitra Gopinath. She sagaciously noted 'that true heroines are those that may not make an international impact, but are those who make vital contributions daily to their families and workplace in their own devoted way'.

She also highlighted the longstanding Azi principle of recognizing talent and potential without any gender bias, that was enabling women with professional and leadership qualities to hold key management posts. She further encouraged the Azi ladies to play more active roles and to be the sparks for positive change in the company.

The speech was followed with a 'chocolate draw', where all the men in the team came forward to pick a lady's name from a closed box and to hand the lucky one a huge bar of chocolate. Being a secret draw, the excitement of not knowing whose name would be drawn kept this part of the program lively and interesting.

The 'hairdressing show' that followed next, showcased the Azi ladies skill in designing and modeling unique hair styles, using flowers, clips, curls and pins. The Azi ladies yet again proved that with them, professionalism and beauty went hand in hand. All were appreciated for their spirited involvement and were gifted a special memento.

The ladies were then felicitated by the Azimuth VP Sales (India) and GM Mr.Anand K on Women's Day. He further extolled them to follow the ideal of Mahatma Gandhi in being the change that one wanted to see.

The program was concluded with Padma’s delicious payasam and spinach vadais being served for all the team.


All in all, the event left the women with a cherished memory and a resolve to make positive changes at their homes and company and the men with a feel-good attitude to take back to their ladies at home.

Azimuth Blood Donation Campaign - 25 Feb 2012

There are many virtues that an individual possesses that make him worthy of living in this beautiful world, and one among those virtues is donating blood. It is an indisputable fact that blood donated is of enormous importance to some needy soul out there. Blood donation is also important because most of the blood banks across India have a dire need for blood to cater to patients’ needs in various medical situations. Blood Donation therefore ranks high in the scrolls of nobility.

Azimuth, as a part of its larger corporate responsibility, teamed up with the Indira Gandhi Government General Hospital, in conducting a voluntary blood donation camp. It was held at its beautiful head quarters at Azeez Nagar in peaceful Pondicherry on 25 February 2012.

The camp was a huge success with close to 100 volunteers coming forward to donate their blood much to the cheers of their peers & the medicos present.

While inaugurating this camp, the company’s CEO & CMD, Mr. Terry Leger thanked all the volunteers for their whole hearted participation in the camp and the Azi Event Management Team for their exuberant organization of the event.

He also added, “Azimuth will conduct such voluntary blood donation camps annually to serve society at large.”

With Azimuth’s dynamic growth in Medical Transcription, eLearning content development and online training services on the rise, the Azimuth Family is becoming larger by the day and one can expect to see more such corporate social responsibility initiatives in the days to come.

It is evident from the fact that Azimuth stands as one of the best destinations in the country in terms of getting quality medical transcription training at affordable cost.
