\"css\"As we celebrate the silver jubilee of CSS in this edition of the Lighthouse, allow me to start by quoting the line from the famous Billy Ocean song, \u201cWhen the going gets tough, the tough get going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past 25 years, our organization has been on an incredible journey of growth. The year 2020 was indeed a surprise. The magnitude of the pandemic impacted the global economy and even our business. However, I take immense pride in how our organization weathered this storm.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, I saw the CSS family band together more than ever before. We worked even harder and stayed focused to reach our goals. Even as global businesses slowed down, we survived because of the dedication and commitment of my team. There are no words that can encapsulate my admiration and gratitude; for the sheer dedication and diligence on display during the last financial year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I say with pride that my team is my strength!<\/span><\/p>\n

In this edition of the Lighthouse, we want to mark our thanks for our clients and business partners as well. We also place on record the singular support extended to us by the local authorities that kept our boat sailing. Now, the storm is past us, and we have learned valuable lessons from this adversity. Let us march ahead with confidence to attain fresh victories for CSS!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
