Ozone API open new India office
Structure

Written by Sheetal Verma

A few years ago our team could all fit around a single dinner table. Fast forward to today, and our dreams have blossomed into a thriving company with a new office that marks a monumental achievement in our journey.

On July 25, 2024, we celebrated more than just an inauguration; we celebrated the realisation of a vision that began with a handful of dedicated individuals and that has grown into a dynamic global team. From our humble start in a single room to expanding into two office spaces, Ozone API’s new workspace in India represents the culmination of our collective hard work, creativity, and determination.

Our journey to a new office for our team in India wasn’t without its challenges. We explored numerous options, engaged in countless negotiations, and meticulously planned every detail to find a space that truly reflects our values and aspirations. The process was long and demanding, but the result—a beautiful, vibrant new office—was well worth the effort.

The big day arrived, filled with anticipation and excitement. The inauguration began with a serene Pooja, a moment of reverence and gratitude to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha for their blessings. Our office was transformed into a festive haven with colourful decorations and traditional attire. It was a sight to behold, with our team dressed in exquisite Indian attire, embracing the cultural theme with grace and enthusiasm.

We were honoured to have our founders, Chris and Huw, CFO Richard, and Head of Frontend Engineering Gaurav join us from the UK and Abu Dhabi, bringing a heartfelt touch to the celebrations. Their presence, along with the tireless efforts of everyone involved—Vaibhav’s visionary design, Jessica’s meticulous coordination, and Sheetal’s event organising, all under Freddi’s guidance—made the day exceptionally special. We captured the joy in countless photos, enjoyed a delicious array of meals, and shared laughter and stories that celebrated the unity and spirit that have brought us to this milestone.

This new office is more than just a building; it’s a symbol of our shared journey, the dreams we’ve achieved, and the future we are building together. With the blessings of our deities and the unwavering support of our incredible team, we are excited to embark on this new chapter.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to many more milestones and successes ahead as we continue to grow and thrive together in our beautiful new home.
