Santhosh Friends @ Cognizant

Cognizant Brentwood

Hari, Siva, Tapas, Lakshmi, Akila, Sadiq, Selvan, Deepa & Hema are my Cognizant colleagues at Mellon office, UK. Arun meet us when he comes to Brentwood.  All of us meet very often at one of our home either for lunch or dinner. Whenever we meet, we tease each other, discuss current topics and we feel like we are in India.

We meet Jenish, Senthil,  Guna, Natraj, Ashok and Sudanshu occassionally. All these guys work at MFC, London. 

Cognizant Chennai

It will be a big list to write about Cognizant Chennai. Initially when I joined Arun was our Manager. I joined Deepak team for Repurchase Re-eng project, then moved to Sahu & Jana team for CTF project. Finally moved to MI team to work with Annamalai. Later Ramesh, Guna, Vijaya joined us. So many moves after that. I went out and come into MI lot of times. Currently Vijaya, Hari & Maheswari are working with me. Vijay Raju is leading team.

Reengineering & CTS were my initial projects in Cognizant and I learned a lot from Deepak, Sahu and Jana. They helped me and new entrants to learn PL/1, IMS DB,DC & JCL. Always grateful to them.

Worked with Sunitha & Sadiq for SWI project. Learned so many new things after joining 4FP project team  - Komu, Prabhu, Lakshmi, Krishna, Valli.

Got a chance to work with Tapas, Purush, Suresh, Deepa, Gerald, Pratheep,  Krishna venugopal for EMX Project. Learned about online modules more here. We enjoyed it.

Worked with Anu, Binu,  Deepa E, Tapas, Ram, Purush, Charanya & Madhuvan for Wire Transfer project till December.

All the colleagues are always helpful. There were tough times and also celebration times. So far everything is fine :-)

Hope Chennai guys are enjoying Team Events. Thanks KG for allowing us to conduct the events, participating in and motivating us for all the activities. 

Cognizant Telugu

Me,  Suresh, Vijaya, Srilatha, Grace & Vijay Raju were telugu speaking group in project. Grace is in Hyderabad now. Me, Suresh, Vijaya & Srilatha enjoyed a lot in offshore. We used to tease each other always. Had a very nice time. Suresh is in Denmark for ITC, he is a techno-savy and all rounder. Vijaya has been with me in MI for a long time . She is early learner and managed team well.  Srilatha has been working hard for all projects. KG, Jana, Guna and Ramesh also know telugu but they rarely speak.

Cognizant ELT Batch

ELT(Entry Level Training) at Cognizant was so good and memorable. There were 30 in our group and we enjoyed all the 40 days training. Most of them already left Cognizant :-). The best memorable thing is, I have collected Rs.3000 from our group and added Rs.5k and donated the amount to merit students in AP.  Some of the friends I remember: Me, Durga, Sadiq, Laxmi, Madhuri, Brahmendar,  Kavitha, Rajendra prasad, Rama krishna, Kishore 1, Kishore 2,  Radhika, Sravan, Srikanth, Rajesh, Sachin, Basav Raj, Supriya, Satya. Still some more left. I will update later.
