“Budgee” - the Budget mascot created by Economic Times, was in the city just before the budget. Budgee made a special visit to “Clarion”, our state-of-the-art manufacturing campus. Our CEO Mr. Sushil Handa, COO Mr. Arjun Handa, and business partners from all over India submitted their wishlist to Budgee. This visit is a reflection of Claris' key positioning amongst the preeminent opinion leaders from industry in Gujarat.

On 13th February 2008, we celebrated the completion of one year of Lattitude and its relaunch in a brand new avataar. Mrs. Beena Handa kick started the event with an inspiring speech on the importance of continuous learning and knowledge initiatives.

Designed especially for young MBAs and graduates, Lattitude is a platform that helps them to continue learning even after business school, through weekly article reading and synopsis preparation, book presentations and other avenues.

Adding the final touch to Lattitude is a new spirit of competitiveness that comes with dividing the group into 4 teams named Albert Einstein, Alexander the Great, Christopher Columbus, Michelangelo.

We all hail from a cricket crazy nation. So it was not unusual when around 400 members turned up, to give in their best at the Claris Cricket Tournament. Even our lady team members were all excited as this was the first time that they got to try their hands at the game.

 

Claris Oncology was established with a mission of 'Transforming Lives' of cancer patients. In an endeavor to support this noble cause, a generous donation was made to the 'Lance Armstrong Foundation' on the occasion of World Cancer Day (4th Feb). 'Lance Armstrong Foundation', is an organization established to support the cancer victims and survivors and to raise awareness about the same

As a token of our contribution we received the original Live Strong wristbands, which were distributed among leading oncologists across the country along with the real life story of the famous champion Lance Armstrong (a cancer survivor, who went on to establish the Lance Armstrong Foundation).

The Oncology team also organized an interactive session on general awareness about cancer by a leading oncologist of Ahmedabad Dr. Sandip Shah at Eklavya hall - Claris Corporate HQ. Around 100 members attended the program.

Freedom to him was above all and for all…
Considered by many to have been the greatest American President, Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln. When he was nine Abraham's mother died and his father remarried a kind and gentle lady. Lincoln had to work very hard to gain knowledge and in his own words his childhood was a constant fight with “trees and logs and grubs”. He said that “there was absolutely nothing to excite ambition to education”, however he did go to 'some schools' and learnt to read and write. Before becoming the President of America, he worked as carpenter, a store- keeper and a captain.

Once his law partner said of him, "His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest." There is a story, which says that a little girl of eight told him that if he wanted to win elections he must grow a beard, Lincoln did grow a beard and the rest is history.

As the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln guided his country through the most devastating experience in its national history--the CIVIL WAR. He disliked slavery in any form and in one of his speeches said that “A Nation should become either all slave or all free.” He believed that peace could only be attained through equality. He married Mary Todd and had four sons. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865. He was killed by John Wilkes Boothe when attending an evening performance of 'Our American Cousins', at the Ford Theater. Until the very end Lincoln believed in “malice towards none” and “charity for all”!
His Triumphs: • Freeing the Nation of slavery • Being victorious in the Civil war • His power of oration
