Alvida, Kavya! Four Years on the Support Floor

For Kavya Reddy, from the customer support team at a software company in Hyderabad, organised by Imran and Lakshmi. A fictional team.

A Classic hardcover in the Warm scrapbook style. Thirty-one colleagues added messages through one WhatsApp link over two days, with surprise mode on. The flipbook went up on the meeting room screen at 10 am on her last day, and the printed book reached her home the week after.

  1. Kavya at a team lunch, passing a dish across a long table of colleagues

    Kavya in three words, from 31 of you: calm, kind, unstoppable. Calm came up fourteen times. Nobody who has heard her handle a midnight escalation is surprised.

  2. Kavya and Imran working side by side late at night, the office dark behind them

    "On my first night shift, you stayed back two hours to sit with me on calls. I still open every call the way you taught me." Imran, teammate since 2023

  3. Colleagues crowding around Kavya in the office pantry as she opens a steel lunch box

    Inside jokes, explained for whoever sits at her desk next. Code yellow: Kavya has brought her amma's pulihora, and everyone drops everything.

Thank You, Ramesh Sir: 34 Years of Service

For Ramesh Kulkarni, Branch Manager, from the staff of the Shivaji Nagar branch of a bank in Pune, organised by Sunita and Joseph. A fictional office.

An Heirloom layflat in the Classic corporate style, in English with a few Hindi messages. The career chapter was written from the year he joined and five postings Sunita typed in one line each. Forty-two colleagues from four of his old branches added messages, two of them as voice notes, and the book was handed over at the farewell function in the branch.

  1. Ramesh at the counter, listening closely to an elderly customer

    He joined as a clerk in Latur in 1992. Five postings later, he became Branch Manager here in 2015. One rule all the way: the person at the counter comes first.

  2. Ramesh laughing with staff at a branch picnic, sitting on a durrie under a tree

    What will Ramesh Sir finally have time for? Morning walks up Parvati hill, his tabla lessons and, according to eleven of you, a proper afternoon nap.

  3. Staff clapping as Ramesh is given a shawl at his farewell function in the branch

    "Sir, you taught me to count cash twice and trust people once. Wishing you a long and unhurried next innings." Joseph, cashier since 2011

Lessons from Debjani: The Product Team's Handbook

For Debjani Sen, from the 14 people she led on the product team at a payments start-up in Bengaluru, organised by Harpreet. A fictional team.

A Classic hardcover in the Minimal startup style. Each teammate gave one phrase she always says and one lesson they will keep using, and the book turned them into twelve numbered rules before the personal messages. Two extra copies went to teammates in other cities.

  1. Debjani leading a standing huddle with her team around a table of sticky notes

    Rule 1: Write it down before you build it. Rule 2: If the demo breaks, smile and say "great question". Rule 3: Lunch is not a meeting.

  2. Debjani and Nikhil talking over chai on an office balcony

    "You hired me when I had one internship and too much confidence. You kept the confidence and fixed the rest." Nikhil, product analyst

  3. The product team sharing samosas around a meeting table, Debjani laughing at the head

    How to survive without Debjani: ask "what problem are we solving?" before every meeting. Then answer it. Then order samosas.
