Initiated in the year 2003 with a definitive vision, our parent brand GaneshaSpeaks.com is a pioneer in more than one ways. Back then, E-commerce space was yet in its infancy, and the examples to follow were far and few.
Our company has gone from strength to strength in ‘over a decade of its existence’ its drive,ambition and passion for success and innovation. The cornerstones of fortitude and experimentation have allowed the organisation to expand not only vertically but also horizontally. And today, the organisation boasts of its very own IT, Marketing, Content and Publication divisions. With a strong team of dedicated, well qualified professionals and erudite astrologers, the organisation provides its employees with a powerful learning environment and innumerable growth opportunities.
The core values of the organisation rest on the firm belief that each human being is gifted with some unique qualities, which can come to fore given a conducive, fostering culture. That is why, each employee at GaneshaSpeaks is respected for his/ her personal as well as professional qualities. The dynamic organisation also provides ample opportunities for cross-functional growth and expansion, as employees are constantly encouraged and required to brainstorm, put forth their suggestions, bring practical changes and work in tandem with various functions.
The company firmly believes in the adage that ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’. And, that is why the Organisation Culture Committee at GS ensures that there’s never a dull moment. The entire organisation works as one big family, and celebrates various festivals together. Annual picnics, events, myriad celebrations, team activities, competitions and a flexible, friendly working environment together create endless opportunities for personal growth and work-place satisfaction for our human resource pool.
