The whiteboard in the boardroom will have field placements, not flow charts. The corner room discussion will be about drop shots, not drop in sales. The boss saying you must speed up will refer to your rally driving and not your leisurely lunch.
Welcome to the season of sport in the corporate world of Calcutta.
Opening the batting, of course, is cricket. With two weeks to go for IPL-3, the spotlight is on the Royal Challenge Rock N Music CDs presents The Telegraph Cup Cricket 2010 for Corporates. The annual tourney got underway at CC&FC on February 24 with the shouts of “howzat” and “sixer” being heard till March 20.
“This tournament allows the corporates to take time out from their schedules and participate in recreational activities,” says Deepankar Nandi, the CEO of CC&FC. The team count this year is 55 — up from 45 last year — for the six-a-side, five-over games, from 5pm on weekdays and 4pm on Sundays. Divided into 13 groups, the teams will fight it out for the Main Plate, Bowl Plate and Wooden Plate.
Not far from the bat-and-ball battle at CC&FC, the countdown to the racquet-and-shuttlecock duel is on. BOC presents The Telegraph Cup Badminton 2010 For Corporates in association with Royal Challenge Rock N Music CDs at Saturday Club from March 12 to 21. “We are expecting more than 20 teams to take part in the tournament that is integral to the club,” says president Utpal Singh Roy.
