With every bright morning when we got to were to travelling to office 

working actively, interacting and socialize with people. 

Then that happened. 
A viral pandemic broke out, imposing a worldwide lockdown and everything became  still and empty.

The lockdown did not deter us from resuming work.

TCS introduces SBWS.... (Slide needed)

We started working from home in SBWS mode following which we had our first-ever virtual PI
planning. (Headset slide then PI planning slide next)

As we had big stories to be delivered, we faced equally big challenges with network, asset, work
tracking and co-ordination in teams.

People travelled to their hometowns and had been working with their personal assets to ensure a
seamless workflow. Support teams have continuously helped us by handling incidents during this
phase. And then TCS had stepped in to ship assets from the office to their place, every doorstep to
ensure continuous delivery.

With the pandemic lockdown running for about 5 months now, work from home has become the
new normal. What has helped us cope with this unprecedented event is the immense support from
both M&S and TCS. We have acquired great rapport with our families by spending quality time at
home during this lockdown.

TCS also has been nurturing employees well being with the pandemic related healthcare benefits
and countless number of webex sessions from TCS Cares.TCS has introduced #OneTCSChannel where
many celebrities, speakers, achievers have spoken and performed in the lockdown which is a real
stress buster to our routine. Radio Maitree is the latest in the card where we can listen to music that
we ask for.

M&S has provided us with the flexibility to work on our timings and take a break when we have to.
The 80 + member team took time to have virtual get-togethers and virtual fun Friday sessions with
the product owners with interactive games, quizzes and much more.

The virtual potluck was a feast to our eyes and tickled our taste buds, where we relished variety of
foods from different parts of the world.

From Starters to dessert we had it all!

We as SAP family have utilised this opportunity to hone our skills and even pursue our hobbies.
Some choose to spend time creatively by making arts and crafts. Some have an appetite for making
new recipes and trying them out. Few also appreciate little things in nature and click pictures to
capture them as memories. Some of our team members also have their own garden where they
cultivate and eat fresh from the farm.

Together we make this happen….SAP Family (slide)
