With each passing day, month & year, technology is changing and getting better. Keeping-up with relevant technologies is crucial for every working individual as well as organization to function efficiently & effectively. Staying up-to-date with industry trends, new tools and emerging technologies not only energize & motivate employees to perform well, but also enhance their productivity and career tenure in the organization. This also helps enterprises to achieve their business goals while meeting their customer expectation. Presently, even large IT enterprises fall short of providing continuous learning opportunities to their employees in order to keep them relevant in today’s constantly changing landscape of technology. However, San Jose-based Relevance Lab(RL)– a DevOps and Automation specialist – has been instrumental in redefining and breaking paradigms.
The company keeps upskilling its employees on cutting-edge technologies such as Agile, Analytics, Cloud and Digital from day-1. At the same time, RL also develops a lot of enthusiasm & positive environment among associates, where entire training and learning module has been formulated in order to have the aforementioned initiative initiated and implemented. “While organizations undergo transformation, they face many frictions in their journey and our employees help them in achieving the frictionless business through their capabilities in recent technologies. Our name itself symbolizes our motto where we want to keep our client relevant in the changing landscape of technology & customer expectation by building our own frameworks with aid of cutting-edge technologies,” professes Puneet Kumar Chaddah, Co-Founder & CTO, Relevance Lab.
RL doesn’t stop with creating a work culture that’s aligned with its core values (client focus, employee care, value delivery, expertise and technology trends & industry transformation), but also keenly assures that all its employees understand and adhere to these values through an internal program. This tech-savy company hires mixed talent from various off-campus & on-campus drives, and has been quite successful in understanding newbies’ requirements. At present the company conducts in-campus drives in top colleges in India. Besides, RL also searches talents from social media platforms and runs unique internal employee referral program (designed to build
strong team based on relationships) wherein peers are rewarded with substantial monetary benefits.

Upon successful completion of these training programs, all freshers are allocated respective projects. Also, a survey is hosted by the HR team for the new hires (30, 60 and 90 days old) to obtain their on-boarding experience, wherein inputs are used for process improvement and enhancing on-boarding experience. “Our on-boarding experience, induction, mentoring & coaching process help employees to get familiar with the organization, and that’s where their journey moves-on and they get into more of the learning & development areas,” professes Soumendra Kumar Das, or SKD, as he is fondly known as, in Relevance Lab, who is the co-founder & COO.
