Diwali 2026 at Anaxee: roshni, rangoli and the whole team in colour

Diwali at Anaxee is a bit of a thing. For a few days, the office that usually runs on dashboards and field updates runs on marigold, rangoli and mithai instead. Here is how Diwali 2026 looked, from our Indore office — the decorations, the puja, and a full house in its festive best.

Every year, somewhere between the quarter-end push and the holiday, the building changes character. Diyas go up. The glass doors get their Lakshmi rangoli. The India’s Reach Engine wall, for once, has competition for attention. And nobody is really looking at their screen.

The office got dressed up

Marigold torans over the desks, bead hangings down the pillars, and a Lakshmi rangoli on almost every door. None of it is outsourced — it is the teams who stay back the evening before and put it up themselves, standing on chairs, arguing about symmetry. By the morning of the celebration, you could not walk ten steps without catching a diya or a garland.

First, the puja

Before the sweets and the photos, there is the puja. The marigold gets gathered into a decoration on the floor, the lamps are readied, and people drift over from their desks to stand together for a few quiet minutes. It is the one part of the day that is not about work at all — just a team marking the festival the way most of us grew up marking it, at home.

Dressed for the occasion

The dress code on Diwali day writes itself. Sarees, kurtas, the good jewellery — the whole team showed up looking the part. It is one of the few days a year the entire building is in colour, and easily everyone’s favourite photo op. Groups formed, phones came out, and the hallway basically became a studio.

And then everyone just gathered — teams that usually meet only over a ticket or a call, all in one place, all at once.

For one day, the reach engine runs on roshni.

And a little something to take home

No Anaxee Diwali is complete without the gifts. Hampers stacked across the tables, one for every person — a small thank-you before everyone heads home to family for the festival. (Yes, there was a bit of a scramble to find your name on the pile.)

Then the lights went down, the laptops closed, and Indore got on with its favourite festival. If this is the kind of place where you would want to spend a Diwali — and the other 364 days too — we are usually hiring. Shubh Deepavali from all of us at Anaxee.
