The GFG Alliance Adelaide office came alive on October 24 to celebrate Diwali, the annual festival of lights.
Chief Financial Officer Mining and Primary Steel, Sanjay Bhartia led a band of helpers as they decorated the office with Diwali-inspired colour and lights before putting on a sumptuous Indian lunch.
Diwali, or Deepawali, is typically celebrated in October or November each year by millions of Hindus, Jains and many others, throughout the world. The name of this festival is derived from ‘deep,’ meaning ‘clay lamps’ and ‘avali,’ which means ‘row,’ When merged, these words mean ‘a row of lights.’ These lights are symbolic of this festival to fuel the inner light that spiritually protects from darkness.

With the recent relaxing of COVID restrictions, it was great to see the large number of people coming together after many months of being apart for the Diwali celebrations. It was also a valuable opportunity for an introduction for the new staff who have recently joined the GFG Alliance family.
Sanjay thanked everyone for attending and paid tribute to those that helped organise the event that included decorations, lunch and even a pop-up henna tattoo parlour.
“It was great to see so many people in the office, enjoying some wonderful food, getting to know each other better and finding out more about a festival that is so uplifting for so many people around the world. I hope everyone around the world, at all our different sites or just at home, was able to celebrate Diwali in some way.”

Here’s what Sanjeev had to say to our people globally:
Whatever your culture or religion, this Diwali, I want to take the opportunity of wishing you peace and prosperity in what I genuinely believe will be a brighter year ahead. I also want to assure you of the endless work that is taking place across the alliance to safeguard and strengthen all our futures. And, most of all, I want to thank you personally for the extraordinary work you are doing to ensure your individual families, and your extended GFG family, remains firm and focussed as we all move towards a better, brighter more prosperous year ahead.
