Shalini Sasi
Starting off with a general intro about myself; I, Shalini Sasi, joined Blue Lotus on 22nd of June 09 in the HR Department. Prior to Blue Lotus I was working with Reliance Money in the HR Dept and have a total work exp of 3.4 yrs. About my Educational Qualification, I have done my Graduation from S.I.E.S College in Commerce stream and opted for Diploma specialized in HR from Welingkar’s.
I am basically from Kerala
, but born and bought up in Navi Mumbai. My family consists of my papa, mom, elder sister who is married and is blessed with a baby boy. As a person I am friendly and fun loving. My hobbies include Outdoor sports like volley ball, throw ball, basket ball. I love to travel but most importantly music. Because, it’s my life!

Annie
My name is Annie. I have completed my Masters in Public Relations from Stella Maris College. It's been exactly 11 days since I have joined, and so far I have been having fun because I have still not got entangled in the web of deadlines and client demands.
To say a little more about me, I'm a 100% Chennaiite, my idea of chilling out is to hang out with friends at the Beach on Saturday evenings. I listen to a lot of music and I love to dance, which I'm just learning now. I'm simple, straight-forward and there are two things that I believe in.
1) Good things come in small packages because I'm just 5 ft, and 2) In life whether I win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.
As a fresher I'm hoping to have a good learning experience here at Blue Lotus and earn some money.



Samantha
Samantha Audrey Natasha Andrade (do forgive the exhaustive name!) am delighted to have been given the opportunity to introduce myself to the ever-so-ebullient lot of Blue Lotus.
I have a background in Biotechnology (Mount Carmel College, Bangalore) and a keen interest in PR, essentially for the healthcare industry and public health. I hail from Mangalore but I’ve spent most of my life in the lovely island of Bahrain, which is where I had my upbringing.
Singing, dancing, reading, eating, acting crazy, laughing loudly, complaining occasionally and listening to intelligent people- all feature on my hobby list…Oh I missed out on one more. Side excursion. You know the thing that happens when someone’s talking to you and your mind wanders elsewhere? Yeah! Exactly.
The one thing I dislike the most is the flavor Butterscotch (I cannot fathom why the world immortalizes it!)…The other thing I abhor is a male chauvinist. I get irritated easily and it is more often than not triggered by myself so I’d rather not delve into that.
Spare time calls for spare treats and I don’t think twice here! I always hit the sack for a nap and the 40 winks first graduate to a 1000. This goes on increasing exponentially until I am “REST assured”!
I love the work environment at Blue Lotus and I am amazed by how amicable and open everyone is, right from the office boy to the CEO! It’s a constant learning process for me here that is always made so interesting with the occasional perky antics of my light-hearted colleagues and team leader. Oh…May I also mention that I’m thrilled with the fact that no one has ragged me yet (I so hope this isn’t an invitation for trouble!!)
Looking forward to every minute here in BL, exploring and growing with every professional adventure and challenge, giving its endeavours my very best and formulating my own interesting perky antics to add a feather to its charm!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be here.

Petrina
Petrina = Rock. Yes, that is what my name means. Also the feminine form of Peter, Petrina is a person who loves variety and change. I am drawn to the fast paced electric life of Mumbai city but also like to return to my nest – the quieter, calmer Navi Mumbai that I call home.
My likes: Rock climbing, Sunsets, the Sea, chocolate, hazelnuts, music, dance, weddings, the monsoons!
My dislikes: 4th seat in the crowded trains!
My experience so far at i9 Communications Pvt Ltd. has been a very fruitful one. My cooperative and very patient team is helping me understand the P of PR and making each day a new learning experience. I believe my experience here will give me a head start to a successful and rewarding career.
