Ten years back, I found you in a place which would soon become our home. A place that taught, nurtured, and gave me confidence beyond anything I was capable of. You have always been a pillar of support and love, standing behind your team.

Throughout our journey together, you have been more than just a manager; you have been a mentor, a guide, and a friend. Your unwavering belief in our potential and your ability to inspire us to strive for excellence has left an indelible mark on all of us. I have so many memories with you that it'll take a lot to pen all of them down.

From celebratory team lunches, to picnics, movie outings to potlucks your presence has been a constant source of positivity and team bonding. Our endless laughter and guffaws that echoed through the office will never be forgotten. (not to forget the many, many complaints)

People know you for your skills and knowledge. I know you for your kindness and love.

Ten hugs today and more will follow soon.

All my love,

Deepti Sharma [Your first and best reportee ;) ]

Love, Wishes & Tons of Respect,

Neha, When I first saw you, I liked you. I wanted to be a part of your team always. I even gave an interview for the same for which Tanisha was selected for the right reasons, I don't know if you remember. I felt bad then but soon I was elated to know I was going to report to you. Since then, I have enjoyed working with you, learnt so much from you. Enjoyed our informal meetings, lunches and movies.

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for the support you've given me during your time at Pearson and Lead and when I was on maternity leave. Your leadership and guidance have been invaluable, and I'm grateful for the experience and knowledge I've gained under your direction.

As you move on to new adventures, I wish you all the best and hope our paths will cross again in the future. You will be deeply missed.

Above everything I am much more happier for you than ever as you deserve so much better.

Thank you again for everything! I'm sure you'll continue to excel in your future endeavors. I hope we will keep in touch.

Let's meet before you leave. Please.

With love,

Moksha

It has been not only a pleasure working with you but also an absolute privilege knowing you. That you have been an amazing colleague, a mentor, a friend and, above all, an inspiration, can only be an understatement. You are inimitable, and yet someone anyone would want to emulate, let alone I!

Giving 10 years of your time to a team, nurturing it while simultaneously creating a covetable identity for the team as well as the brand... a feat beyond excellence! As you complete 10 years with our team, while I am so happy and proud of you and your journey, I also wish I had joined your team sooner!

The news of your leaving does leave me disappointed and in despair. Yet, I could nothing but happy and proud to see you soar and soar, and then a little more!

It is often said that publishing is a small world, and that paths often cross. I hope and pray that ours do! To have known you has been such a privilege, working with you again would be a blessing!

All the very best for the exciting journey that awaits you! And thank you with all my heart for the wonderful, wonderful boss you have been!

Please keep in touch, and please let us all meet before your last day! And maybe keep meeting even after!

Immense love and respect,

Muralidar S.

Your ability to be both goofy and wise, naughty and caring, keeps the child in all of us alive. Working with you has been a blessing beyond measure. I still wonder what you saw in me to choose me, but I'll forever cherish that decision.

A decade of dedication to this organisation is no small feat. It's a testament to your selflessness and commitment to helping others build their futures. You've touched countless lives, mine included, in ways you may never fully realise.

Thank you for the laughter, the memories, and the unwavering support. There's no one else like you, and there never will be. Here's to you, the coolest boss around!

I hope fate conspires to bring our paths together again, giving us another opportunity to work side by side. While your departure saddens me, I'm also filled with joy knowing you're embarking on new adventures and reaching greater heights in your journey. I am grateful beyond words for the privilege of being a part of your story.

Love & Respect,

Lovleen

Your guidance has always paved a wonderful path for us. Your performances have always kept us wanting for an encore. You have made an everlasting impact on me and I believe on everyone that you've come across. It was an absolute honour to have worked with you.

Thank you, dearest Neha. No words can express my gratitude. Keep shining like the star that you are, and keep bringing light to others as you fly towards success.

Much love,

Mustah

Over the past decade, you've been an amazing leader with big ideas, always dedicated, and aiming for the best. You've guided me through tough times, encouraging me to do my best and go beyond what I thought possible.

I have been fortunate to have had such wonderful opportunities working with you in various projects spanning from Frames, Magic Strokes, NAA, AWA, NIN and Celebrate among others.

Apart from being the great boss, you are an extremely fun-loving and adventurous person. From our memorable trip to Pratapgarh to the joyous movie shows and delightful potlucks, these experiences have brought us closer as friends. Your zest for life makes every moment together not just productive, but also enjoyable.

I just want to say a massive thank you for being the great mentor, and supporter you've been to all of us.

Though I'm still in disbelief about your leaving the organisation, I sincerely wish you the very best in all your future endeavours.

With deepest love and respect,

Madhumanti

As you move ahead to your next adventure, I was thinking of our unexpected journey together. Who knew that being assigned to you by accident would turn out to be one of the best things to happen in the past two years of my academic career? Thank you for being so considerate and kind, and for your unwavering trust in my decision-making.

Your lack of micromanagement gave me the freedom to grow and flourish, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Your wit and humour made even the craziest moments not only manageable but genuinely enjoyable.

We've shared some hilarious times – remember that visit to the nose-pin shop in Lucknow that turned into a mini comedy show? Or the time we brainstormed ideas that were more laughter-filled than productive? Oh, the potluck at your place with madness galore and food coma....Those moments are precious memories I will always cherish.

Your presence has meant the world to me. As you step into a new chapter, I know you'll continue to inspire and lead with the same grace and humour.

Wishing you all the success and happiness ahead. Stay amazing!

Warmest regards,

Deepa

I have not had the opportunity to work with you, but I've met you once and you were absolutely wonderful to talk to! You were so kind and polite. I've only heard good things about you from others, and I hope that one day, I can work with you.

Have a wonderful journey ahead :)

Cheers to many more years of brilliance and joy!

Much love

Congratulations on your 10-year work anniversary! I'm sure it has been quite the climb for you, and I hope you get some time now to enjoy the view from the top!

Though I have not had much of a change to work with you, I have only ever heard amazing things about your know-how and years of experience!

Here's to an even better decade to come.

All the very best :)

Congratulations on your 10th work anniversary! It's an incredible achievement and a testament to your hard work and dedication.

As a newcomer to the English team, I did not get the opportunity to work directly with you, but your impact on this team and the people around you is unmistakable. From what I've gathered, you're not just a great boss; you're also a mentor, a friend, and a source of inspiration to many.

Your choice to move forward will surely leave a gap in the English team and the organisation. I have no doubt you'll flourish wherever life takes you next, and your legacy here will continue to inspire us all. I wish you nothing but the best for the future!

Warmest regards

Aryaman

I wish I had more time to get to know you some more. You are a wonderful person and a great leader. I have heard wonderful things about how you led your team over the years. And that you are an even better friend!

Wishing you a very happy tenth anniversary as well, and it is just poetic that you are leaving us just as you complete a decade.

Here is wishing you the best as you move on to the next step of your journey. I am sure you will do wonderful things wherever you go.

Lots of love and warm wishes,

Mrinanda.

It feels surreal to think it's been a whole decade since you stepped into the publishing world with our team at Pearson. Time really does fly when you're having fun while working, cracking jokes to destress, and dancing like no one's watching, doesn't it?

It's been an absolute blast sharing laughs, doing brainstorming sessions and producing high-quality products. You've been more than just a boss; you've been a friend, a confidante, and a partner in crime when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what educational material for children can be.

Our shared vision of creating brilliant content for young minds has made this journey even more beautiful. From the 'hawans' of our DAV school days to the hustle and bustle of the publishing world, we've seen it all together.

While it's tough to bid farewell, I'm filled with pride and excitement to see you spread your wings and soar to new heights. Your passion, dedication, and knack for turning even the most mundane tasks into something fun and exciting have left an indelible mark on all of us.

I want you to know that the lessons I've learned from you, both professionally and personally, will stay with me for life. So, while this may be a "see you later" rather than a goodbye, know that your legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Here's to the next chapter of your journey, Neha! May it be filled with even more laughter, dance breaks, and the kind of success that only comes to those who dare to dream big.

Keep shining bright, my friend.

Love,

Arushi Lakhanpal

Many congratulations on you 10-year work anniversary. It's no mean feat to have achieved what you have. I have always looked up to you and would have loved to work with you and learn from you.

I hope the coming decade is even better!

Good luck :)

Visalam

Congratulations on your 10-year work anniversary!

I am glad I got to meet and interact with you during the office immersion, no matter how brief that was. I have only heard wonderful things about you from your team, and all these messages here are just further confirmation of the amazing, cool, and warm person you are.

All the very best for your next chapter :)

Warm wishes,

Apurva
