A Padghams Welcome
We at Padghams Australia and India are a diversified lot. While our head office is in Melbourne, we certainly make our presence known in India with representation in offices in four cities: Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi.
Our office in Chennai was established in 2002 but in this newsletter we present our office in Mumbai which opened some 12 months ago.
Some Indian News
With a population of some 15 million, Mumbai, previously known as Bombay, is the commercial capital of India where the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) certainly has prominence and is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. It is also the home of Bollywood and many wonderful beaches.
It must also be a romantic place. A number of Padghams staff have recently married, including cost manager, Sudhagaran, who has been with Padghams India since its establishment. Some in Australia will also remember Sudhagaran as he spent about a month at the Melbourne office training soon after he began with our company. He married or "tied the knot" with Soundari in May 2008 and they were delighted to announce the birth of their first child, a boy named Yashwant, in March this year.
Other more recent Padghams marriages include Kiran from the Bangalore office, Dipankar Das who is working on site in Kolkatta (Calcutta) and Raj Louis Paul and Sridevi for the Chennai office.
Also from the Chennai office is Praba who is Padghams first female employee. She celebrated five years with the company on 20 July. Congratulation Praba and congratulations also on your forthcoming marriage planned for 6 September this year!
Melbourne News
A warm welcome goes to award-winning Deakin University QS graduate, Rebecca Midgley, who joined Padghams earlier this year. Travelling in from Teasdale on the other side of Geelong, this talented new recruit has plenty of time to plan her day at Padghams.
Another warm welcome to Mary Sexton who has taken on the challenging role of Marketing and Communications Coordinator, coordinating Padghams activities both in the Australian and Indian markets. Mary comes well equipped with a strong background in the professional services industry in the UK while also a background working on assignment for the UN on the Global Compact Summit in New York.
