Rakesh Bhatnagar, director, Rave Scan said, “Our industry is usually considered pretty unglamorous by a lot of people. Small sporting events will not only show the sporty side of our industry but also help us creating a small ripple. Who knows, we might also end up finding a good corporate cricketing team via such matches.”

Interestingly, 2012 has been crowned as the Indo-German year by the Government of India. “When we were planning for such an initiative, it was Heidelberg, who informed us that a match between the two companies would make perfect sense since it was the Indo-German year,” Bhatnagar adds.

Although a small gesture, such friendly matches are intended to build an off-the-office relationship in the industry, which is commendable. While Shiv Bhatnagar of Rave Scan would lead his team, Heidelberg India’s has chosen Girish Humane as the captain for the match. Heidelberg’s team also has inclusions from its Mumbai and Chennai offices. The cricket match would be held in Siri Fort on 2 December from 9 am, followed by lunch at India Habitat Centre.
