But now here is the sad part Sad smile With the above announcement, there are few of our friends retiring and moving to the alumni state (six in total).

We do respect their contributions but due to limited number of seats in each product area, we had to consider not only the numbers but also the contribution categories as well as the feedback from local subsidiary in terms of their presence (online/offline both) in various activities.

I hope they will take it up positively and work towards coming back in the active group soon.

Thanks and have a great evening!!
