Work is Fun at Ignitee !!!

It’s been almost 10 months since I joined Ignitee and it has been really a joyride till now (thankfully). The atmosphere in the office is always upbeat with someone or the other keeping the laughter challenge going on. We actually have laugh riots in the office with people going crazy and that too just by watching others laughing apart from the jokes. The events every week put forth a great opportunity to have a much required break from work and have some fun and team bonding as well in the process. The Birthdays and the beating sessions followed are much gung ho & popular amongst the guys to take revenge on their part.
Apart from the Fun quotient at Ignitee the work exposure is equally good, rather even better comparatively. I have got the opportunity to work on some of the best known brands across verticals and in markets across the globe. With some really popular brands, industry leaders and personal favorites as brands/ clients to work on, work doesn’t seem like work but a project with team effort & colleagues always ready to help out. It’s been a learning experience so far towards mastering my own skills and getting acquainted with new skill which will help shape my career in a wholesome manner.

Life at Ignitee is balance of enjoyment, learning and sports also (though I hardly play any :P). At Ignitee cricket, table tennis & now carrom are widely encouraged with Team Ignitee winning quite a few Inter Agency tournaments. All in all it’s been an enriching experience and looking forward to much more worthwhile times ahead.

The Bhootbangla – Ignitee ;)

This is the first name we all must have uttered for Ignitee because of its spooky entrance. Once you reach the second floor and enter the Ignitee office you feel relieved that you are at right place. Yes, that’s what exactly I feel after being here from more than 1 year- I am at right place! :)

In the last one year we have grown and added a lot of people, but yet nothing has changed much in terms of the youthful culture and atmosphere at Ignitee (which, by the way I like the most!). Ignitee’s spirit I mean team spirit (don’t get carried away by the spooky start) is incredible. Even new joinees are equally enthusiastic about every project. The Friday events: Be it a Jungle fancy dress competition, Raavan avatar or celebrating any festival, is always fun!

Last but not the least, work here is enjoyable. The mad and crazy socio search team make enormous projects also look like a cakewalk. We have the best lunch with laughing sessions lasting for over 10 mins eacg. These lunch breaks are mostly like inter team lunches. We eat, enjoy and even crib together about the food. The best place in office is the canteen where you get to see all the different ‘characters’ (Especially cartoon characters) in our office. Just watching them is great fun in evenings.

It’s been a great year so far working and having fun at Ignitee. Hope to continue this joyful journey for a longer time with all the jovial people around :).

My Experience @ Ignitee


It’s been a year since I made my move to Ignitee. Walking into the Ignitee office for the first time I thought hope I make some good friends and settle down fast. And that is exactly what has happened and even more.

The entire year has flashed past in a mix of clients, pitches, parties and a host of exciting activities at Ignitee. The amount of experience that I have gained in this past year has been one which will serve me for my entire lifetime and has helped strengthen my foundation. One of my moments where I felt pride in being an Ignitee is when I was given a chance to attend the IIFA awards in Colombo thus truly showing that in Ignitee the rule of hard work and dedication paying off handsomely is actually true.

I have also been lucky in getting seniors who have motivated me and given me the right amount of exposure and also having a team which is dedicated and helpful thus giving me some of the best friends I will make in life. Particularly I really love the insane laughing sessions we have had in the canteen taking everyone by surprise. Clients have also played an important role in molding my people skills and outlook to life.

There is finally only one perfect description for Ignitee – A place to explore your true potential and have FUN!!
