Welcoming New Talent: vCommission’s Fresher Hiring Drives at Gurgaon & Mohali🌱

At vCommission, we believe fresh ideas come from fresh minds. And what better way to embrace that than by opening our doors to passionate, young professionals ready to make their mark?

This year, we conducted successful fresher hiring drives in both our Gurgaon and Mohali office—and the experience was as rewarding for us as it was exciting for the Freshers!

🎓 Step 1: Campus Hiring Kickoff – IITM

We kicked off our fresher hiring journey at IITM with high energy and big ambitions! To cast a wide net, we collaborated with multiple universities and also welcomed walk-in freshers for an exciting one-day recruitment drive right on campus.

The day began with a buzz of anticipation as freshers from diverse backgrounds arrived, eager to prove their mettle. First up? The Aptitude Test – our golden gateway to the next round. This wasn’t just a routine assessment; it was crafted to test how well freshers tackle problems, think logically, and stay cool under pressure.

From brain teasers to number crunchers, the test challenged them to flex their analytical muscles. Only those scoring 60% and above made it to the next stage—showing us they had not just theoretical knowledge, but sharp thinking and problem-solving instincts.

This first round helped us pick freshers who had good basics, were eager to learn, and had a curious mindset. With that, our journey to find future stars had a great start! 

💬 Step 2: Group Discussions – Real Topics, Real Opinions

Once the first round was done and dusted, the shortlisted freshers were grouped into teams for the much-awaited Group Discussions  — and this is where things got really exciting! 

Each group was handed a current, thought-provoking topic — the kind that sparks real conversation. To keep things dynamic and balanced, teams were split into “For” and “Against” sides, encouraging structured arguments and a healthy clash of ideas.

Some of the hot topics up for debate were:

    • The impact of ChatGPT and generative AI on the workforce 
    • Studying abroad vs. local skill development Global vs 🇮🇳
    • Are startups killing traditional businesses? 
    • Does India need more job creators than job seekers? 

But this wasn’t about who could talk the loudest or the longest. We were watching for something deeper — how well freshers listened, reasoned, built on others’ ideas, and presented their own thoughts with clarity and confidence.

And wow — they didn’t disappoint! From bold opinions to sharp counterpoints, we saw real conviction, respectful disagreements, and even moments of witty comebacks. It was refreshing to see freshers not just participate but truly engage — turning every GD into a lively exchange of ideas and energy.

In short, it was brains, confidence, and collaboration all in action — and we loved every minute of it.

Step 3: Personal Interviews – One-on-One Evaluations

Freshers who sailed through the Group Discussion round were then invited for Personal Interviews — the most insightful part of the process! These one-on-one conversations were conducted by me, Nida Ahmed (HR Manager), alongside Sandra Bysack (HR Head). Together, we were all ears, eager to go beyond resumes and really get to know the people behind them.

This wasn’t your usual “tell me about yourself” round. We wanted to uncover what truly drives each fresher — what motivates them to show up, how they think through challenges, and whether their energy and values align with the vibrant, fast-paced culture we have at vCommission. 

We asked about their goals, their experiences (even the smallest ones), how they handle pressure, and how open they are to learning and unlearning. It was a chance for them to share their stories, and for us to assess potential beyond just qualifications.

Throughout the process, we took detailed notes and shared feedback after every interaction to keep things transparent, structured, and fair. It also helped us stay aligned as a panel and ensured every fresher had an equal shot, no matter who they spoke to first.

From this thoughtful and personalized round, we shortlisted the most promising freshers who truly stood out — not just for their answers, but for their spark. And with that, they moved on to the final and most awaited step: the Panel Interview

🏢 Step 4: Gurgaon Panel Day – 12th June 2025

The selected students were then invited to our Gurgaon office—our headquarters—for a full-day engagement.

We began with a company introduction presentation where we gave them an overview of:

    • vCommission’s global presence and offerings
    • Our work culture and team structure
    • Future growth plans and opportunities for interns
    • Experiences shared by past interns
    • Our leadership team and company values

To everyone’s excitement, our CEO, Parul Bhargava, made a surprise appearance and shared a short, heartfelt message with the students. Her words were filled with encouragement and motivation, helping the candidates feel more at ease and inspired.

Before jumping into interviews, we held a short icebreaker activity to help candidates relax, connect, and shed their nervousness. It set a fun and collaborative tone for the day ahead.

🎤 The Grand Finale: Panel Interviews – Real Evaluation by Real Leaders

The stage was set for the final and most anticipated round — The Panel Interview. This was where the real magic happened — not just a test of skills, but a deep dive into personality, potential, and presence.

Our power-packed panel featured seven of vCommission’s dynamic department heads:

    • Niharika Agrawal – Affiliate Growth
    • Aisharjaya – Advertiser Growth (Global)
    • Niharika Chabbra – Advertiser Growth (India)
    • Nuti Bhalla – Advertiser Sales
    • Farzana – Marketing Trainer
    • Sandra Bysack – HR
    • Puneet – India COD

One by one, the shortlisted freshers walked into the boardroom — a mix of anticipation, excitement, and yes, a few butterflies! But those nerves didn’t last long. Our panelists set a warm and welcoming tone, turning what could have been an intimidating room into a space for real, open conversations.

Each department head asked domain-specific questions — digging into not just what the freshers knew, but how they thought. The goal was clear: to assess attitude, curiosity, clarity of thought, communication skills, team spirit, and adaptability — the qualities that truly set future leaders apart.

To top it off, selected freshers were also invited to take a Cultural Assessment Survey, helping us ensure that those who join us aren’t just skilled, but also a strong fit for our values, our pace, and our collaborative energy. After all, at vCommission, culture isn’t a checkbox — it’s the core of how we grow together. 

Once the final decisions were made, we rolled out offer letters to the chosen few — those who had truly stood out. But the experience didn’t end there! We scheduled follow-up calls to address any questions about roles, joining timelines, or onboarding.

And of course — no fresher left without a goodie bag full of vCommission swag and a well-deserved lunch to celebrate the day! 

✈️ Step 5: Mohali Drive – Chandigarh University, 15th & 16th July 2025

With the energy from our Gurgaon round still high, Team vCommission packed their bags and headed north to Mohali for the next leg of our fresher hiring adventure — this time in collaboration with Chandigarh University (CU)

Our mission? To find passionate, driven freshers ready to take on the affiliate marketing world. And CU didn’t disappoint!

The two-day drive followed our now-signature process: aptitude tests, engaging group discussions, and focused panel interviews. But this wasn’t just about ticking boxes — we were here to connect. From the moment freshers walked in, we made sure they felt at ease. Icebreaker activities got the room buzzing, and yes — there were plenty of smiles over lunch on both days! 

The Mohali panel brought their A-game and a ton of experience to the table:

    • Sandra Bysack – HR Head
    • Anmol Mahajan – Affiliate Growth Manager
    • Arshia Sharma – Senior Manager, Affiliate Growth
    • Unnati Sobti – Head, Affiliate Sales

Each panelist brought a different lens to the interviews, ensuring we evaluated not just skills, but attitude, confidence, learning agility, and alignment with our team culture. It wasn’t just Q&A — it was real, meaningful conversation.

Across two days, we met sharp, confident freshers who brought refreshing ideas and perspectives to the table. Some impressed us with their logic, others with their creativity — but all showed the kind of potential we love to nurture.

By the end of the drive, offer letters were rolled out to selected freshers — with everything in place for a smooth and supportive onboarding journey ahead. 

Mohali, you brought the energy — and we can’t wait to see what this new batch brings to vCommission! 

💼 From Freshers to Future Leaders – The Journey Begins!

Our hiring drives weren’t just about filling positions — they were about discovering potential, building connections, and laying the foundation for the future of vCommission. What started as a series of aptitude tests and group discussions soon turned into inspiring conversations, eye-opening perspectives, and real moments of promise.

From buzzing campus corridors to high-energy boardrooms, every step — the debates, the interviews, the cultural deep-dives — was thoughtfully crafted to help us spot not just talent, but tenacity. We were on the lookout for freshers who were not just smart on paper, but driven, adaptable, and ready to grow with us. 

And we found them! ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome a dynamic new batch of freshers into the vCommission family — individuals who asked sharp questions, stood their ground with confidence, and showed a real spark of curiosity. It’s not every day you meet people who are both grounded and fearless — and we can’t wait to see them bring that same spirit to our teams.

To our new joiners: this is just the beginning. Your journey from freshers to future leaders starts now. Dream big, stay curious, and know that you have a whole team cheering you on every step of the way.

Here’s to fresh starts, fearless ideas, and the future we’ll build together.
Welcome aboard! 🚀

Keep It Casual: A Culture of Connection at vCommission

Every office has its rhythms—stand-ups, all-hands, status meetings, deadline chases. But at vCommission, we’ve added something a little spicier to the mix. Something that blends laughter, awkward truths, creative chaos, and a little friendly manager-roasting.

We call it: Keep It Casual.

🌈 What is “Keep It Casual”?

Every alternate Thursday, one department gets to ditch the formal, unplug from the spreadsheets, and enter the fun zone.

It’s our way of saying: “Hey, we see your KPIs… but we also see your love for nachos, your dream to be invisible in meetings, and your hilarious office pet peeves.”

From the moment the monthly activity calendar drops in our announcement group, eyes go hunting:
“When’s our turn?”
“What snacks are we picking?”
“Can we do a pyjama theme?”
  You get the drift. 

📅 How We Casually Plan the Fun

At the start of every month, something magical happens — HR unveils The Masterplan. It’s not a secret mission or a heist (though it might feel like one). It’s our monthly calendar, filled with upcoming activities and a surprise twist: which department gets to take the spotlight for the next “Keep It Casual”? Let the games begin.

Fast forward a few weeks, and voilà — the chosen ones receive a calendar invite. It’s official. It’s happening. There’s no backing out now. You’re booked for fun. And yes, it’s hilariously formal for something so casual. But we’re all about that contrast.

As the day creeps closer, the real debates begin. Forget strategy meetings — we’re talking snack wars and style choices. Samosas or brownies? Should we dress like we’re on vacation in Hawaii or attending a vampire board meeting? “Corporate goth” was once pitched. Democracy takes the wheel, and things get surprisingly intense.

Once snacks are selected with the seriousness of a five-star menu tasting and outfits are (over) analyzed like runway looks, it’s go time. We secure the room, curate the vibe, and brace ourselves for a session that’s part bonding, part chaos, and entirely unforgettable.

🧘 We Begin… with Zen

Hold up.
Before the madness, we meditate.
Yes, seriously.

Just a couple of minutes of deep breathing, eyes closed, centering ourselves. Why? Because we’re about to go from calm to chaotic joy real quick. It’s the calm before the storm of inside jokes.

🎉 Then It’s Game On: Casual Chaos Begins

Keep It Casual isn’t just about ditching the dress code — it’s a glorious deep-dive into the strange, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartwarming side of work life.

It starts with a bang: What’s your work superpower? Turns out, we’re all dreamers… and slightly dramatic. From wanting to mute colleagues mid-call to teleporting out of post-lunch meetings, the answers are bold, borderline concerning, and 100% relatable.

Then come the snack confessions. Dry fruits? Respectable. But let’s be real — most of us are three Mentos away from a sugar crash. And yes, someone is keeping a count.

And just when the vibes are getting cozy, we roast our managers. Lovingly. “He supports me through everything… but also steals my fries.” Of course, managers clap back. And HR pretends not to hear a thing.

Next, hidden talents explode out of nowhere. The silent designer beatboxes. The finance guy does tarot. Someone confesses to running a secret meme account roasting the entire team. It’s a full talent show and a low-key trust exercise rolled into one.

Then we spill the tea. Anonymously, of course. From pantry crimes to reply-all disasters, the grievances flow. The guessing game is savage. And yes, someone still heats up fish curry at lunch.

There’s sitcom energy too — everyone imagining their TV persona. From “the latecomer with zero guilt” to “the intern who secretly runs the place,” it’s less workplace, more Netflix pilot.

Shark Tank moments follow, featuring genius (and absurd) inventions like bots that auto-reply “noted” after 6 PM and coffee delivery powered by intern energy. Innovation? Off the charts.

We wrap it all up with a peek into the future. Anonymously, teammates share their goals — from mastering design to leading big projects, to just taking fewer screenshots of bugs. The vibe turns unexpectedly wholesome. Hugs may or may not happen.

That’s Keep It Casual. A little chaos, a lot of laughs, and just the right amount of emotional whiplash.

💡 But… Why Do We Do This?

Because team bonding shouldn’t feel like a checkbox.
Because real connections don’t just happen in status calls.
Because people who laugh together work better together.

Keep It Casual is our love letter to team culture, where everyone’s voice, weirdness, snack preference, and ambition matter.

The Real Impact?

    • That awkward new joinee? Now has five new work buddies.
    • That shy developer? Turns out they’re hilarious.
    • That serious manager? Just got roasted—and loved it.
    • The team? Feels like a team, not just co-workers.

🎊 The End… But Not Really

Keep It Casual isn’t about being off-duty—it’s about being fully present. It’s where departments turn into squads, where goals meet giggles, and where culture isn’t a buzzword—it’s an experience.

So the next time you see us meditating before bursting into laughter, just know:
We’re keeping it casual—vCommission style. 🎈

Holi Hungama at vCommission: Colors, Chaos, and Unlimited Masti!

If there’s one festival that vCommission knows how to celebrate in full swing, it’s HOLI! This year, we took the madness a notch higher—colors flying, music blasting, people laughing, and an energy level that could put a Duracell bunny to shame.

The moment the celebrations kicked off, it was clear—this was going to be one for the books!

Dhol Beats and a Wild Start! 🎶💃

 

What’s Holi without dhol? Exactly. So, we did what any fun-loving, full-of-energy, no-chill workplace would do—welcomed not one, but TWO dhol walas!

 

And the moment they started playing, it was as if someone had hit the turbo button on everyone’s energy levels!

BOOM! The first beat dropped, and suddenly, the office was unrecognizable. Papers? Forgotten. Laptops? Ignored. Work? What’s that? This was a full-blown desi music video now.

People ran to the center like soldiers rushing into battle, forming circles, cheering, and hyping each other up. Within seconds, it was pure madness.

Twirls? Check.
Bhangra moves that could put a wedding baraat to shame? Oh, absolutely.
Some “creative” (read: questionable) breakdancing that may or may not have resulted in minor injuries? You bet!

The enthusiasm was so intense that we had a genuine moment of panic. “Are they going to run out of energy before the games even start? Will we have to cancel everything and just let them dance all day?” Someone even suggested a water break (a WATER BREAK during Holi—can you imagine?!).

But then we thought—“Yeh Holi hai boss, yahan sab kuch chalta hai!”

The Balloon Dart Challenge – Where Luck Met Skill! 🎯🎈

 

After what felt like an eternal struggle to peel people off the dance floor (seriously, some had to be physically dragged away), we moved on to our first big game—the ultimate test of luck and skill: The Balloon Dart Challenge!

Now, close your eyes and picture this:

 

A massive wall, completely covered in vibrant, colorful balloons. But here’s the catch—inside some of these balloons were hidden cash prizes ranging from a humble ₹10 to a glorious ₹500. And inside others? A cold, heartless note that simply read,
“Better Luck Next Time.” 😈

Oh, the thrill! The suspense! The heartbreak!

The rules were simple:
1️⃣ Take a dart. 🏹
2️⃣ Aim like your entire reputation depends on it. 😤
3️⃣ Pop a balloon. 💥
4️⃣ Pray to every possible deity that you don’t get a “Better Luck Next Time” note. 🙏

And let me tell you—the drama that unfolded was Oscar-worthy.

The first contestant walked up with full confidence, channeled their inner Arjun from Mahabharata, locked eyes with a golden balloon, and… completely missed. The dart flew to the side and hit the wall. A collective gasp echoed through the crowd. Was this a sign? A bad omen? 😱

Then came the lucky ones. One guy popped a balloon and BOOM—₹500 rained down into his hands. He ran around screaming like he had just won Kaun Banega Crorepati, refusing to believe his own luck. “Drinks on me tonight!” he declared. (Still waiting on that, by the way. 👀)

And then… there were the unlucky souls.

One poor player popped three balloons back-to-back, only to find “Better Luck Next Time” every single time. Three times. In a row. The crowd erupted in laughter while they stood there, staring at their cruel fate, questioning every life decision that led to this moment.

And let’s not forget the overconfident ones—the people who walked up with the swagger of Olympic archers, promising that their aim was flawless. They raised their darts, took a deep breath, and… completely missed. Not once. Not twice. But every single time.

(We won’t name names, but if you were there, you know exactly who you are. 😂)

By the end of it, the winners were celebrating, the losers were plotting their revenge for next year, and the rest of us? Well, we were just having the time of our lives watching the chaos unfold.

Musical Chairs – But Make It Holi! 🎵🎭

 

Next up was musical chairs, but with a fun, nostalgic twist!

 

We went back to our school days and divided everyone into Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue houses. Each chair was labeled with a specific color, and if you weren’t fast enough to grab your team’s chair when the music stopped—well, tough luck!

And the music? Only the best Bollywood Holi bangers. “Balam Pichkari,” “Rang Barse,” “Holi Ke Din”—the playlist was fire.🔥

What started as an innocent game of musical chairs soon turned into a battlefield. People were diving, shoving (playfully, of course), and fighting for those last few chairs like their lives depended on it. Hierarchy? Gone. At that moment, it didn’t matter whether you were a manager or an intern—everyone was equally competitive and equally dramatic.

And when the final winner was declared? They celebrated like they just won a Filmfare award. Tears were shed, fake speeches were made, and we were all thoroughly entertained.

Antakshari – The Grand Finale! 🎤🎭

 

Now tell me, what’s a Holi celebration without a good old-fashioned Antakshari battle? But hold on—this wasn’t your regular, sit-in-a-circle, “let’s just hum a few lines” kind of game.

This. Was. WAR.

We had rules.
We had drama.
We had… DANCE.

We divided everyone into teams based on colorful bandanas (because, obviously, aesthetics matter). The challenge? Every team could only sing Holi-themed songs. No random Arijit Singh heartbreak numbers, no peppy party anthems—only full-on rang-barase, bhang-fueled Bollywood Holi madness.

But wait—there was a twist! While one team belted out a song, someone from their team HAD to dance. And not just a little head bob—they had to go all out.

And let me tell you, the performances we witnessed? ICONIC.

Some people went full-on Sangeet mode—twirls, expressions, and moves straight out of a wedding choreography video. They weren’t here to play; they were here to slay.

Some just awkwardly shuffled, clearly regretting all their life choices, looking at their teammates with a silent plea: “Save me.”

And some? They just surrendered. One guy literally threw his hands up, sat down, and said, “Bas karo bhai, main nahi kar sakta.” His team booed him, of course.

But the best part? Right in the middle of this musical battlefield sat a chilled bottle of Thandai.

Because let’s be real—nothing screams Holi like screaming song lyrics into a mic, while your friend attempts to dance like Hrithik Roshan, and you take celebratory sips of Thandai like it’s your prize for enduring the madness.

Food, Refreshments, and a Whole Lot of Memories! 🍽️🎉

 

After hours of non-stop madness, it was time to refuel. And trust me, after all that dancing, dart-throwing, and chair-grabbing, everyone was STARVING.

 

We ended the celebration with delicious food and refreshments, while everyone sat around, reliving the best moments of the day.

From dance-offs to epic comebacks in Antakshari, from balloon-popping disappointments to unexpected victories, this Holi at vCommission Media was one of the most EPIC celebrations ever.

The colors may fade, but the memories? They’re here to stay! 💜🎊🌈

Till next year—Holi Hai!!! 🎉

A Day of Queens: International Women’s Day at vCommission! 👑✨

March 7th at vCommission wasn’t just another day—it was a celebration of the amazing women who make our workplace what it is. As soon as they walked in, they were greeted with warmth, appreciation, and a little surprise waiting at their desks. The HR team wanted to make sure every woman felt valued, and after a lot of back-and-forth discussions (because choosing the perfect gift is serious business), we finally decided on a beautifully customized gift box for each one. A small gesture but one that carried a big message—you are appreciated, and today is all about you!

As the day went on, the office started to feel like a beautifully curated theme party, where pink and purple reign supreme. Every woman walked in looking effortlessly stylish, turning the workspace into what could easily be mistaken for a fashion runway—except with more laughter and fewer serious model stares. There was something special about seeing everyone in sync with the dress code while still bringing their own unique flair. Some kept it subtle, some went all out, but together, they created a picture-perfect moment of confidence, grace, and a whole lot of style.

Ribbon, Notes & Heartfelt Quotes

The reception area wasn’t merely outfitted—it was dressed to impress in pink and purple, setting the perfect vibe for the day. But the real scene-stealer? The “Wall of Appreciation.” And let me tell you; this wasn’t some maudlin background—it was where feelings, imagination, and a few office rumours (the good ones) all met. At the top, in bold print, was the power maxim of all power maxims: “She believed she could, so she did.” What a décor mic-drop moment!

The concept was a tiny one—take hold of a ribbon of your preferred colour, place a note on a woman whom you admire, and affix it to the wall. What began as an innocent little act of kindness soon became an all-out love affair. Notes shifted from sincere to lighthearted, from “Thanks for having my back every time” to “I still owe you a coffee for saving my meeting!” And soon, this wall wasn’t a wall—it was THE spot. Folks flocked in, took pictures, read the messages, and tried to decipher who wrote the what (because, let’s be real, curiosity got the best of us). It even turned into a 3D photo booth, where everyone stood up and took a photo. And the climax? The shout of thrill when someone discovered a note that was specifically written to them.

Brag on the dramatic gasps, happy dances, and the inevitable “Omg, WHO wrote this?!” It was sweet, it was fun, and it was the kind of nuttiness we just adored.

No celebration is complete without a little friendly competition, and we took things to a whole new level with games that had everyone in stitches, cheering, and bringing out their most creative (and unexpected) sides!

The Ultimate Korean Anime Pop Star Transformation 🎤✨

The first challenge was all about imagination and flair. Each team was handed a wild assortment of makeup palettes, funky wigs, flashy accessories, and dramatic props. Their mission? Turn one teammate into the ultimate K-pop or anime-inspired pop star!

In an instant, the office transformed into a buzzing backstage dressing room. Bollywood beats pumped through the speakers, adding to the electrifying atmosphere as teams huddled around their chosen “star.” Eyeshadow brushes flicked across faces in bold, glittery strokes. Bright pink and electric blue wigs were adjusted with careful precision.

Someone even attempted a gravity-defying anime hairstyle using an impressive amount of hairspray. The air was thick with laughter, competitive banter, and the occasional “Hold still, or I’ll mess up your eyeliner!”

As the final transformations were revealed, the office erupted into cheers and applause. Some contestants rocked dramatic eyeliner and neon hair, while others went full K-pop idol mode, complete with dazzling poses and imaginary mic drops. One participant even did a sassy runway walk, flipping their wig like a true star. The judges had the tough job of picking a winner, but in the end, the real victory was in the hilarious, over-the-top transformations that had everyone grinning ear to ear.

What’s REALLY Inside a Woman’s Handbag? 👜🔍

Next up was a game that put the legend of the bottomless handbag to the test. A list of random items was announced, and chaos unfolded as participants frantically rummaged through their bags like treasure hunters on a time limit.

The suspected perpetrators came out first—hair ties, keys, pens, and lip balms. But the finds were more and more fantastical as the game continued. A measuring tape? Okay, check. A few safety pins? Certainly. A miniature screwdriver? Why not? The audience gasped when one individual daringly produced a small ketchup bottle, which was followed by a series of questions and uncontrollable laughter.

By the end of the round, we’d seen everything from spare socks to mini perfume sets. Some were effectively full-on emergency kits, loaded with whatever came to mind ahead of time. Others were mystery boxes straight out, with contents so haphazard that even the owners themselves had no clue they existed.

The one-liners were constant, the competition fierce, and finally, it was clear that women’s handbags are the key to survival and, it seems, a couple of tricks as well!

A day of rampant ups and downs, surprise findings, and constant amusement. These are what make a mundane party a book one!

Take a Shot at Destiny”, Laughter & Unexpected Twists! 🎯✨

The grand finale of the day was the most exciting and unpredictable game of all—”Take a Shot at Destiny.” The rules? Simple. Make a wish out loud, take aim, and try to land a pen into a glass. If the pen made it in, the wish was granted!

And oh, the demands were as absurd as they were comic! Some were tactical—one day of work-from-home or a half-day leave. Others took a shot—demanding a 50% raise, a luxury car, or even a vacation to Kashmir on all paid! The audience roared each time somebody had the guts, holding his breath every time the pen hovered at the edge before falling in (or flying off in a despondent near miss).

But the true highlight? Our CEO decided to join in. The moment she realized she might actually have to grant these outrageous wishes, her reaction was absolutely priceless. “No, no, guys! I’m just here to watch! Don’t do this to me!” she laughed, backing away dramatically as everyone burst into laughter. The energy in the room was electric, and the game turned into a mix of skill, luck, and pure comedy gold.

A Sweet Finale 🍰

More than just a celebration, this day was a reminder of the strength, beauty, and resilience of every woman at vCommission. Here’s to lifting each other up, cherishing every moment, and making sure that every woman knows just how special she truly is.

Happy Women’s Day to the incredible women of vCommission and beyond! 💖✨

A Tricolor Celebration: Republic Day at vCommission

Republic Day isn’t just a national holiday—it’s a day of pride, unity, and celebrating our incredible heritage! At vCommission Media, we went all out, transforming our office into a vibrant, tricolor paradise. With balloons, flags, and decorations in saffron, white, and green, every corner radiated patriotism.

Goosebumps & Glory: The Power of the National Anthem

We kicked things off with a moment that never fails to send chills down the spine—the National Anthem. There’s something truly magical about standing together, voices in perfect harmony, feeling that deep connection to the nation. You’ve felt it too, right? That rush of pride, the goosebumps, the sudden urge to do something great?

Creativity Meets Patriotism—The 20-Minute Challenge!

The 20-Minute Creativity Challenge was the ultimate test of quick thinking, teamwork, and who could make the least mess with paint. We split into four teams, armed them with T-shirts, paints, and ribbons, and set a timer—just 20 minutes to create something patriotic. Sounds easy? Tell that to the team who accidentally turned their white T-shirt into a color explosion before even starting! One group paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi with such powerful strokes that even our office plants seemed to nod in approval. Another went full kindergarten mode—dipping their hands in paint and creating a masterpiece of unity through vibrant handprints (and possibly leaving behind evidence on a few desks). The third team sketched Bhagat Singh so boldly that his silhouette practically demanded freedom right off the fabric. And then there was the abstract art crew—blending colors, textures, and possibly some accidental paint spills to represent the beautifully chaotic spirit of India. Can you believe they pulled this off in just 20 minutes? The creativity, teamwork, and sheer passion on display were nothing short of inspiring. And that’s exactly what we value at vCommission—bringing people together, celebrating talent, and making every moment count.

Fashion, Fun & Freedom Fighters on the Ramp!

But wait, the excitement didn’t stop there! Next up was the most hilarious and creative activity of the day—a fashion challenge with a patriotic twist! Each team picked a member, grabbed newspapers and props, and crafted custom outfits inspired by legendary freedom fighters. The results? Absolutely epic! We had Indira Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Rani Lakshmi Bai, and more, all strutting their stuff on our impromptu ramp walk. The energy, laughter, and enthusiasm were next level!

Food, Fun & Farewell!

Finally, what’s a celebration without delicious treats? We wrapped up the day with a Republic Day-themed refreshment spread, featuring tri-color sweets and other delightful bites. Because let’s be real—good food makes every celebration even better!
This Republic Day left a lasting impression on all of us. It wasn’t just about the activities—it was a reminder of the strength in our unity, the richness of our culture, and the values that shape us. At vCommission, it’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about enjoying the journey together, sparking creativity, and growing as a team. Here’s to more moments that bring us closer. Jai Hind!

Merry & Bright: Christmas Celebrations 2024 at vCommission

Christmas at vCommission this year was nothing short of a winter wonderland—full of laughter, sparkle, and just the right pinch of festive mischief!
On December 24, 2024, our office morphed into Santa’s Workshop 2.0, brimming with joy, jingles, and holiday magic. From decked-out desks to cheer-filled carols echoing through the halls, we turned an ordinary day into a sleigh-load of unforgettable Christmas memories. Ready to unwrap the magic?

A Week of Organized (and Hilarious) Chaos

The HR team kicked things off a full week before Christmas, and let’s just say—when it comes to holiday cheer, they don’t do ‘subtle.’ Armed with enough Christmas decorations to make even Santa question his own decor taste, they brought tiny Santas, sparkly stars, candy canes, and a touch of glitter to light up the room. The real magic, however, happened when they created three fabulous photo frames that instantly became the star of the show (pun 100% intended). Employees flocked to them like they were posing for Vogue’s holiday edition, turning these frames into our unofficial holiday runway. Who needs a red carpet when you have a glittery photo frame?

But the real masterstroke? Each department was tasked with building a Christmas tree out of their framed pictures. Yep, a tree made of people—because why stick to tradition? Even our CEO, Parul, couldn’t resist the charm and joined the fun for a photo. Fun fact: she later posted it on LinkedIn. Go stalk… uh, check it out!

We introduced a “Wall of Wishes and Manifestations,” where employees scribbled their dreams, hopes, and completely unrealistic demands. Out-of-turn appraisals? Sure. Double incentives? Why not? Handsome coworkers? Let’s work on it. The wall had everyone laughing till their sides hurt.

The Secret Santa Shenanigans

A week before D-Day, we unleashed the Secret Santa tradition. Gifts started popping up like magic, and the company group chat turned into a battleground of hilarious posts. People who got gifts flaunted them shamelessly, while those still waiting for their Secret Santas roasted them with memes and jokes. No hard feelings, just hard laughs.

When the big day finally arrived, the office looked like Santa’s workshop had been hit with a Bollywood makeover. Lights were twinkling, decorations were sparkling, and the excitement in the air was so thick you could almost taste it—like candy, but with more glitter. At exactly 4:00 PM, Santa made his grand entrance, and let’s just say it wasn’t your typical ‘ho-ho-ho.’ Oh no, this Santa came in Bollywood style, dancing like he was auditioning for a holiday version of Dancing with the Stars. Armed with candy, chocolates, and an ironclad mission to get EVERYONE to dance, he wasn’t taking no for an answer. And trust me, resistance? Completely futile. You either danced, or you got dragged into the conga line. No one was safe!

Games That Turned the Office Into a Circus

We cranked up the fun with not one but two epic games that had everyone totally into it: the Treasure Hunt and Cookie Decoration challenge!
Treasure Hunt: Four teams, one office, six hidden Christmas gifts, and a whole lot of serious business. Armed with cryptic clues and Santa bags, each team went full detective mode, scouring every desk, every corner, and even the office plants (don’t ask). It quickly turned into a scene straight out of an action movie—minus the explosions, of course. The fastest team snatched the prize, but honestly, we all got a decent workout from running around like over-caffeinated elves—and had a few good laughs along the way.
Cookie Decoration: Now, if you thought the Treasure Hunt was intense, wait for this. Each team got a box of plain cookies and a mountain of decorations. The catch? You had only 20 minutes to turn those cookies into edible masterpieces. The results were a mixed bag: some cookies could’ve been featured on Food Network, while others… Well, let’s just say they could’ve been showcased in a very avant-garde art gallery. Our Admin Head, the impartial judge, made sure no bribery or pleading was involved (though we’re pretty sure some tried). It was chaos, creativity, and a whole lot of sugar—just the way we like it!

Wrapping Up With a Bang

As the day wound down, we unveiled the Secret Santas, sparking gasps, laughs, and a few “I knew it!” moments. Santa himself cut the cake—because who else? Carols played in the background, adding a sprinkle of nostalgia to the festivities.
And, of course, we couldn’t end without food! Christmas-themed refreshments were served, leaving everyone with happy bellies and even happier hearts.

The Verdict?

We had everything: unexpected twists, dance moves you’ll never forget, and cookies that were, well, a work in progress. We laughed, we bonded, and we created memories that’ll live on in office legend. If this isn’t the definition of a good time, we don’t know what is. So here’s to more outrageous, unpredictable fun ahead—because if this year was any indication, next year’s going to be a whole new level of chaos, and we’re here for it. Let’s make it even bigger!

Celebrated International Men’s Day Honoring Strength & Dedication 

At vCommission, we believe in celebrating every occasion with zeal, creating moments of joy and appreciation for our team. This International Men’s Day, on November 19th, we planned a day filled with fun, games, and recognition for all the incredible men in our workplace.

Prepping for the Big Day

We threw down the ultimate style gauntlet: formals, only to crank up the excitement! The men were challenged to suit up, strut their stuff, and compete for the title of best dressed. It wasn’t just about the competition but about swagger, charm, and showing off their unique flair. Think James Bond vibes with a sprinkle of office swag!

And because we believe in spreading the love (and laughs), we had a little something extra planned. The ladies in every department got creative, writing sweet, funny, and heartfelt notes to their male colleagues. The idea? To make them feel like absolute rockstars for the day—because seriously, why should girls have all the fun?

Let the Festivities Begin!

As the day’s meetings ended, the buzz of anticipation on the floor was undeniable. The Men’s Day celebration was about to begin, and the excitement was palpable.

Wishing & Cheers

We started with everyone moving around the floor, exchanging hearty “Happy Men’s Day!” wishes. The smiles, handshakes, and laughter created an upbeat vibe that instantly set the tone for the rest of the day. It wasn’t just a greeting but a moment to connect, appreciate, and gear up for what was to come.

 

Games Galore

With the mood set, it was time to roll up our sleeves and dive into some good-natured competition.

Hand Wrestling

The first challenge was hand wrestling—where the most muscular men from each team squared off to prove they weren’t just good at lifting coffee mugs. The room erupted with cheers and wild support as these contenders locked hands, ready to unleash their inner superheroes. It quickly turned into a battle of strategy, muscle, and well, lines like, “You’re going down!” echoed from the sidelines, followed by enthusiastic (and possibly not very helpful) tips like, “Just, uh, use your hand!” After a series of sweaty, grunting, and dramatic rounds, the final winner was crowned, walking away with a victory and enough bragging rights to last until the next competition. It was pure chaos, and we loved every second of it!

Push-Up Challenge

Next up was the push-up challenge, which wasn’t just about strength and stamina—it was about making push-ups look way more astonishing than they have any right to. Forget regular push-ups! Some participants were throwing in claps like they were auditioning for America’s Got Talent. In contrast, others mixed in wild variations—one-arm push-ups, knee-slap push-ups, and even “I’ve lost all dignity” push-ups. The crowd was on fire, clapping, laughing, and probably questioning their fitness choices. It was part workout, part comedy show, and all fun. The whole thing was a blast, and we may need to start charging for tickets to next year’s show.

Tug of War

To wrap up the games, we dove into the classic tug-of-war—an actual showdown of teamwork, strength, and who had the most brawn (and maybe a little bit of rope-burning strategy). The guys split into two teams, each one determined to drag the other into defeat. With every mighty tug, the floor erupted in cheers so loud you’d think we were witnessing the final moments of the Olympics! The energy in the room was contagious—people were on the edge of their seats, shouting, laughing, and probably wondering if the rope was about to snap or if the guys would pull a muscle.

As the teams gave it their all, the room buzzed with excitement. The mix of laughter, encouragement, and that “let’s win this” spirit made the competition feel epic. It wasn’t just a tug-of-war but a reminder of why we love being part of this team. By the end of the day, everyone was grinning, high-fiving, and walking away with memories they’d be laughing about for weeks. 

The Sweet Finale

What’s a celebration without cake? Ours was a total showstopper—a customized cake with glasses and a moustache, looking ready for a fashion show. It was quirky, stylish, and so on point you couldn’t help but grin. The cake was the cherry on top of a day full of laughs, games, and way too much competitive spirit.

After devouring it (obviously), we gathered for a group photo because why not capture this masterpiece? And then, the grand finale—the Best Dressed award. The winner strutted up like they were on a runway, ensuring everyone knew they were the real MVP. A stylish end to a fun-filled day with just the right amount of flair!

This Men’s Day wasn’t just about the games or the cake (okay, maybe mostly the cake); it was about taking a moment to appreciate the fantastic guys at work who keep everything running smoothly and look stylish while doing it.

A Glimpse into vCommission’s 2024 Diwali Celebration

As Diwali approached, the HR team at vCommission embraced the Diwali spirits with a thoughtfully curated series of exciting activities and challenges to make this Diwali unforgettable. Rather than limiting the festival to a single day, the team orchestrated a pre-Diwali lead-up to get everyone in the spirit. From dressing up in ethnic wear to creating hilarious department reels, we knew Diwali would stand out as an extraordinary celebration.

When the lights go up, the fun never stops!

Ethnic Dress-Up Challenge

 

Ethnic Dress up challenge

The HR team started the first day with a challenge: Get your finest ethnic attires ready! At vCommission, we don’t do things half-heartedly; we added a little excitement by awarding daily prizes for the best-dressed male and female. The office brimmed with excitement as everyone decked up in their best saris, suits and kurtas. From elegant dupattas to vibrant kurtas, the competition was intense, with some employees channeling their inner Bollywood stars while others kept it effortlessly chic. In the end, selecting winners was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, we recognized the winners for their exceptional ethnic attire.

The Reel Challenge

 

At vCommission, we take fun seriously, so to add some extra fun to the Diwali countdown, we came up with a challenge. Each department had to create its own amusing Diwali-themed reel. Each team showcased their extraordinary skills in ways beyond what we expected. From dramatic Bollywood-style performances to quirky skits and dance-offs, the reels were so witty they could’ve been straight out of a comedy show.

The HR team had a blast as the submissions rolled in. Some performances were lighthearted, others were exceptionally clever, but all were highly entertaining. Watching everyone transform into actors and comedians became our week’s highlight.

The Grand Diwali Day

Diwali Pooja

The much-anticipated day finally arrived — Diwali Day! We were fully prepared to make it a celebration to remember. As soon as everyone walked in, they were greeted by a surprise from vCommission waiting for them at their desks. It was a little gesture to honour the hard work of vCommission employees. While everyone rejoiced with the gifts, the HR team decided to amplify the joy with a dance activity. The energy was palpable; everyone embraced the moment and captured videos to treasure. At vCommission, we celebrate festivals for fun and for our employees to unwind and partake in festivities from time to time.

Desk Decorating Competition

 

After we moved our bodies on the dance floor, it was time to get our creative juices flowing with a desk decorating competition. A desk without lights during Diwali is like a feast without flavor. The office quickly turned into a mini Diwali festival, with desks dazzled with decorated diyas, glitter and flowers. Creativity was flowing in all directions. Some embraced a traditional style with dazzling lights, while others opted for a modern, minimalist aesthetic. Selecting a winner was no easy task, but the unique displays added a delightful touch to the festivities.

Diwali Pooja and Tilak Ceremony

 

After all the fun and laughter, it was time to reflect, feel calm and breathe with a serene Diwali pooja. This quiet, thoughtful moment reminded us of the festival’s profound meaning. As the pooja ended, we began our tilak ceremony. We welcomed everyone with a warm tilak ceremony to mark the occasion.

Tambola and Diya Making

As everyone settled into their seats, the tambola tickets were handed out, and the office quickly transformed into a lively, buzzing show. People were on the edge of their seats, cheering every time they crossed off a number and groaning together when they didn’t. The room was alive with suspense and laughter, building to those electrifying moments when the winning numbers were finally called.

Drumroll, please! The tambola winners were Zaheen from vFulfill, and Aisharjaya and Yukti from Advertiser Growth and HR! And guess what? Even our founder, Tarang, couldn’t resist joining the fun, making the game even more exciting.

Once the tambola excitement wrapped up, we moved to the final leg of the Diwali party—the Diya Making Challenge. Teams of four got creative with supplies like diyas, paints, glitter, and mirrors. The competition was fierce, and everyone gave their best, but the ultimate decision came down to our CEO, Parul, who had the tough job of selecting the most dazzling diya. After some intense deliberation, the winners were announced: Neha and Rachna from vFulfill, Amisha from Nutrafy, and Vishakha, Parneet, and Sunidhi from Agency.VC! What a creative finish to a fun-filled celebration!

The Perfect Ending

 

As the day came to a close, we concluded things up with some delicious snacks. Every moment added to the celebration, from lively dance floor moves to the intense rounds of tambola to the glittering diyas that illuminated the space with warmth. Diwali at vCommission was not just about the lights and sweets but about the people, energy, and moments we shared. It was about how every single person brought their charisma. The vibe was electric, and there was a deep sense of community. We look forward to surpassing this year’s celebration with something even grander next year. We’ll cherish the memories — the laughter, the joy, and the light we shared together.

Reignite 2024: 12th Annual Meet of Strategy and Celebration

What happens when you bring together brilliant minds, a positive atmosphere, and a touch of Junoon? You get Reignite 2024, our most impactful annual meet and after-party yet!

September 28th was a celebration of our people, our achievements, and the spirit that drives us. The event began with a special moment, as our Managing Director, Mahindra Bhargava, lit the ceremonial lamps, symbolizing the ignition of the evening and the passion that fuels our success. As the light flickered, the excitement in the room magnified the anticipation and the shared commitment to making this evening unforgettable.

Setting the Stage for Success

When the department heads took the stage, it wasn’t just a run-through of numbers but a showcase of wins and challenges. While there were some impressive figures, who doesn’t appreciate hearing about a solid quarter? However, what truly captured the audience’s attention was, “We’re not stopping here. This is just the beginning!”

Each team brought their unique flair to the table. They shared their grand visions, and each plan was so detailed you could see the hard work and the fire of determination brimming in them. But the most exhilarating part was the vibe in the room, where everyone was ready to gear up for the challenges ahead. The energy was so profound that you wouldn’t stop wondering, “Nobody could stop up if this is how we are starting!”

Fun Awards; Epic Moments

When we thought the evening was coming close, our hosts stepped in to save the day. They introduced us to a “unique awards ceremony”, a perfect mix of suspense, laughter, and eccentric titles for our members. The rules were clear — we had 10 seconds to guess who deserved the title out of the nominees announced. The room cheered with laughter as titles began circulating, including:

  • The Snack Stash Award: For someone who has mastered the art of hiding snacks like a pro.
  • The Life of the Party Award: For the one who lights up every gathering.
  • The Office DJ Award: For the one who keep the music going and the energy high.
  • The Office Cheerleader Award: For the one who is always rooting for the team, celebrating kindness and team spirit.

With the ceremony, it was amusing to see how much our core values contributed to our success. It is as if the motto “Work Hard and Party Harder” inspired our souls. The pleasure of working hard together as a team and celebrating the success later not only ignited my passion but imbibed a feeling of contentment.

A Glimpse into the Future

Following the moments of laughter and levity, we transitioned to the main event —an insightful and valuable session from our founders, Tarang and Parul Bhargava. On the stage, they reflected on the current position of vCommission, our accomplishments and what lies ahead of us.

Our leaders inspired us with their broad vision while reminding us that there are plenty of opportunities ahead and challenges we’ll need to tackle. And the room filled with a sense of renewed energy and enthusiasm. You could almost hear the collective cheering, “Alright, let’s do this!” as they wrapped up, leaving us all pumped for the celebration and excitement for awards to come.

Honoring the Achievements

It was the segment we all have been waiting for — the awards ceremony. This was the time to recognize our top performers and acknowledge the loyal team members who’ve been with us through every situation.

As each award was handed out, it wasn’t just about celebrating individual wins but rejoicing in teamwork and determination. Every win felt like a shared victory as if the whole team had somehow contributed by offering support, ideas, or positivity.

Junoon: A Night to Remember

No event existed in the history of vCommission without an element of enjoyment! This brings us to Junoon Night, a themed celebration of our team efforts and individuals. That evening, while the gentlemen looked impeccable in their classic black attire, the ladies illuminated the room in an elegant red dress.

The hosts started with some entertaining song-and-dance games that had us all stepping into our party shoes. As the night progressed, amidst the grooving, we were treated to a grand feast of exquisite dishes that left us eager to indulge and made the evening unforgettable.

The atmosphere transitioned from professional to exuberant as the dance floor became the gathering point. One moment, colleagues were engaged in lighthearted conversation at the bar, and the next, they were drawn to the floor for an impromptu dance-off. It was lively and entertaining and served as a perfect reminder that, as a team, we bring energy and enthusiasm—whether in the workplace or on the dance floor.
