When I first walked into Sargam on 27th January 2003 as an Accountant, I thought I was starting a career. What I didn’t realize was that I was finding a family.
From the very beginning, the Shevade family treated me as their own. Once, in a customer meeting, the bond between me and Devesh Sir was so natural that someone asked if I was his son. That moment was more than a compliment, it was the truth of how Sargam had embraced me.
Over the last 22 years, I never once felt the need to look outside. Because here, I was not only trusted but also allowed to grow. From Devesh Sir I learnt—“केल्याशिवाय कळणार नाही, try करुन बघ. अपयश आले तरी मौल्यवान अनुभव मिळेल.” From Nathe Sir—“अरे नासिर, urgencies आपल्या प्लेटर च्या छठीला पूजल्या आहेत.” And when Lokesh Sir handed me the Vadodara responsibility, I discovered an engineer inside me I never knew existed.
Soon, as I complete my silver jubilee, Sargam will celebrate its golden one. From Accountant to Executive Director, my journey is proof that with faith, belonging, and trust, work can become family and family can build futures.
