Team Covelix all pumped at Pune Marathon 2006!

Pune, Dec 2: Covelix Technologies, a fast growing software company that believes in 'Work hard, Play hard', registered for the Pune Marathon 2006, with a purpose. The entire organization is running for a single cause - Road safety in all aspects. Fatal accidents occurring on road, killing or maiming several, are a matter of great concern all over India. To ensure road safety, each of us needs to develop some self-discipline. Avoiding using cell phones while driving, wearing helmets, not jumping the red lights, avoiding drunk driving, observing lane discipline are the basic rules everyone must follow. 'One small step from you could mean life to someone.'

After losing one of their co-workers in a road accident last month in a hit and run case, Covelix had decided to use the Pune Marathon as a platform to create awareness of poor traffic sense and road safety in the city.

The Company, which has grown from 0 to 100 in 2.5 years, believes in setting goals, which seem apparently impossible, planning towards the goals and executing to the plan to achieve the goals.

Covelix planned a spirited intra-company competition. Multiple teams compete against each other for prize money and, even more importantly for recognition. Leads for each team actuate team members for daily scientific practice sessions.

The event was meticulously planned by the organizing committee. Teams were trained for the marathon by means of informative articles, videos explaining details of proper diet, appropriate costume-shoes. Seasoned international marathon runners were invited for talks and discussions. The pit crew, positioned along the entire stretch of the run, managed the support for the runners on D-day.

By participating in the marathon Covelix not only was abiding to its principle of 'work hard, play hard' but also was creating social awareness. Most importantly, it demonstrated a great way to help raise the health awareness in the company. Healthy minds in healthy bodies!
