Wishing you all the best for your future endeavours, Ritu! It was a pleasure getting to know you, even if briefly. Thank you for all your support in bringing me into the CG GGI team and helping me understand the context and requirements. Will miss having someone to chat with in Bengali.

Hey Ritu,

It was such a pleasure getting to know you and work with you at CEGIS. You bring an amazing contagious energy and enthusiasm to the team and I am sure you’ll carry that forward to the next leg of your career. I am grateful that for whatever brief period, I got the opportunity to work on the same team as you. All the very best for whatever is next and I hope to catch up soon and keep in touch!

Ps. Sorry I couldn’t join the farewell call, I was in a plane at the time :(

Hey Ritu!

My time at CEGIS was truly memorable, and you were one of the reasons why. I’m incredibly grateful for the time we spent together at the Chennai office — there was so much to learn from your approach to work and problem solving.

Beyond work, I’m so glad to have found a friend in you. I truly cherish all the memories we’ve built over the past three years.

Wishing you nothing but the very best as you step into this next chapter — I’m so excited for all that lies ahead for you!

Hey Ritu,

You have been super supportive and kind since the day I joined CEGIS! Settling into the organization was much more easier because of my buddy sessions with you. The way you solve problems is very interesting and it has been a pleasure working with you!

Good luck for the next leg of your career, and I am sure you will do great!!

I want to acknowledge your contributions as you move on from the team after three years. You've brought consistency, depth, and dedication to the work, and it’s clear that your efforts have left a lasting mark on several projects. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with you professionally, and I wish you the very best in your next role. I hope the journey ahead brings new challenges and opportunities that build on everything you’ve achieved here.

All the best and stay in touch :)

Ritu - You ARE (can't write have been yet) such an integral part of this org and team journey, through so many changes (in people, ideas, areas) and a big reason behind all the successes! Very proud of how you've grown and taken every challenge as an opportunity that's come your way. Infecting all of us with your calmness, steady head, and a permanent smile. And of course, we're forever grateful for 'starting up' all our offices and teams! It's very appropriate that you are again going to a 'startup'-ish place (at least in the world of multilaterals) and you'll help set the culture and processes at such a big stage! Congrats and I'm sure you'll do wonderful things. Don't forget to fund little players like us :P

Personally also I'll miss you a lot! Who's going to share all the gossip and be game for a drink! We need to keep meeting in different cities and catch up. See you soon!

This feels like yesterday, but now, neither of you are here :(

It's been lovely working with you! Have learned lots from the way you managed yourselves, your team, and projects through the ebbs and flows. You did an equally amazing job at building a great vibe and spirit at work, that has been so crucial in keeping people's motivations high. I am sure you will take all of this to NDB and build a kickass team and team spirit there as well. Will miss working with you, and all the post-work hangs as well :/ We have so many more Bangalore places to explore, so keep visiting often :D

Hi Boss,

Let me be clear: you are the coolest boss I have ever worked with and not worked under (till now). Thank you for raising my expectations and making me feel like work is a chill exercise. It was really fun working with you, especially in all those field visits. I will remember your feedback to bring more fun in field visits.

Be that cool buddy always. And, I wish you all the luck. See you at the big stage!!!

Bye Boss!

Ritz,

You’ve been my first buddy, colleague, and friend at CEGIS, and I truly cherish every memory we’ve shared—it all still feels like yesterday. I don’t want to say goodbye, because I know this isn’t the end. Our connection goes beyond just work, and I’m sure we’ll always stay in touch.

Whenever I felt low, you were always there to lift me. I appreciate your calm presence, your positive energy, and that pleasant vibe you bring into every room.

I know, without a doubt, that wherever you go next, you’ll light up that place just like you did here.

Shine as bright as always.....

All the very best to my sunshine.

'Coincidence' is the word I’ll associate with you. You were the first person I ever interacted with from CEGIS before I had any clue what I was getting into. You were the one who interviewed me, and somehow (either by destiny or mischief) you also became my project manager. If that’s not the universe playing practical jokes then I don’t know what is.

It’s been a full-circle ride, with just the right amount of chaos and learning just with different timelines.

May the dhokla be soft and fafda be crispy. Wishing you all the best for the new journey of your life and happy snacking!

Hey Ritu,

You (and Sravan) were the first OM team members I spoke to before joining CEGIS. Since then, you have always answered my questions and were really fun to work with -- be it organising games in the retreat or developing slides for org-wide learning sessions. I am grateful to have known you!

Good luck!
