The festivities were in full swing. RJ North kicked things off with the delicious tradition of Dussehra Jalebi-Fafda on October 2, 2025. This was followed by the explosion of local colour and talent with Rangilo Rajasthan on October 16, 2025. It was a vibrant evening of music, performances, and the always competitive Antakshari. We wrapped up the month on a peaceful note with Laxmi Poojan at Mangalakunj Temple, filling the air with devotion and warmth. Meanwhile, in RJ South, we got our groove on! Navratri and Diwali were a beautiful display of unity, with energetic Garba, spirited Dandiya, and traditional pooja ceremonies that brought everyone together in a spirit of joy.

Out on the West Coast, we successfully blended wellness with celebration. We sweated it out with a Badminton Championship and Cricket at Suvali Beach, then cleaned up for a lovely Diwali Dinner filled with music, laughter, and togetherness. We proudly concluded the month by reaffirming our shared values on National Unity Day (October 31, 2025). Our Corporate Office was equally vibrant, decked out for a grand Diwali Pooja and Mela, complete with décor, food, and cultural performances. To add a layer of depth and inspiration, a special Leadership Unplugged session with Graham Richardson offered a moment of reflection. It was a wonderful reminder that learning and growth are truly part of the Cairn DNA.

Under the umbrella of #TheDeepMindReset, we put our emotional well-being front and center. A series of sessions led by Marsh Mercer encouraged us to focus on emotional resilience and balance. We tackled practical, real-life topics like Mental Health in Catastrophes, how to truly enjoy Family, Festivities, and Bonding, and even the trick to Beating the Post-Festival Dip. These sessions helped us pause, reconnect, and pick up mindful habits for long-term health. To keep the momentum going, we also reinforced this focus through self-paced e-learning modules on mindfulness and stress management.

October truly captured the heart of Cairn, where our culture, our well-being, and our connections ignite our collective energy. We’re committed to building India’s energy future, and we remain equally devoted to nurturing the incredible people who make that powerful journey possible.

The day started with a traditional Diwali Puja, taking a moment to reflect, feel grateful, and wish for peace and prosperity for the year ahead.

The main event was a lively Diwali Mela, which was extra special as we organised it with the Sakhi Self-Help Group from Udaipur. It brought a wonderful spirit of community empowerment right into our workplace! The stalls were packed with beautiful, handcrafted items like organic honey, homemade pickles, gorgeous handloom sarees, ceramic diyas, and block-printed kurtas, all supporting women entrepreneurs.

A big thank you to everyone who came out, shared their smiles, and helped make the celebration meaningful.

As we continue our work of lighting homes and hearts across India, both through the energy we produce and the communities we uplift, we hope this spirit of Diwali inspires all of us to build a brighter, more inclusive future.

Together with the local community, we celebrated the festival by sharing gifts like slates, chalk, and alphabet books. It was all about encouraging joyful learning and sparking curiosity among the children. We also distributed Poshan Packs to boost their health and nutrition, making sure every child had a bright, nourishing, and truly meaningful Diwali.

These moments really capture the Diwali spirit, where a fun celebration meets a deeper purpose. Every little effort we make helps nurture young minds and strengthen communities, and that’s how we keep powering India’s progress.
