November, 2023 A Note from Chetan Alsisaria, our CEO   As the festival season envelops us in warmth, lights, laughter, and sweets I extend my warmest Diwali greetings to you and your loved ones. May this auspicious occasion usher in a year filled with prosperity, growth, and new opportunities. How were your celebrations? We had pompous celebrations with our Polestar family across all our locations at Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Noida!   During all these celebrations, as my close ones start talking about the small changes to bring - cleaning the house to making sweets - it made me think about the meaning and the intricacies in these choices. Aren't these like seasonal checkpoints - cleaning for both a spiritual and scientific purpose. It is said with the change in seasons at this time the heat and light helps kills the growing bacteria. A lot of such rituals have scientific reasoning behind them.   Why can't we have such checkpoints even for our organizations, making sure we take the right interventions at the right time. I think this festive season should be about that - finding the right interventions especially for maintaining and managing data - no one would want a data swamp. I hope this planning season you can think about your data management and governance practices too!   Chetan Alsisaria.
