BLUE BYTES: THE YEAR THAT WAS


This article took a long time in the making. The author would keep citing writers’ block as reason for the delay. Well, inspiration finally struck late last evening. And this piece was complete in a mad burst of industry. Piyush Jain it is, who writes about Blue Bytes.


Last year, which incidentally coincided with completion of my first year in Blue Bytes, can be easily be stated as the year of the Byters—winning 3 out of 5 awards at The Blues function stands testimony to this fact.

While the service was incubated for 4 long years within the organisation, the management had immense faith in its potential, faith which we have probably lived up to. The financials might still not look great but we did manage a four-fold growth for the year.

So what has changed for Blue Bytes in the past year: to sum it up, I would say we started dreaming, and dreaming big. And like they say: ‘Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny’.

A strong foundation has now been laid. We are standing at the threshold and as Malcolm Gladwell mentions in his book- ‘The Tipping Point’- the magic moment will soon arrive to tip and spread like wild fire.
