Employees' day out
This week, Microsoft India Global Technical Support Centre (GTSC) hosted the Architects of Excellence (ACE) Awards to recognise the outstanding contribution of employees in the company.
The awards ceremony was held along with Colours of GTSC, the vibrant talent night the company hosts every year. With over 12 performances, the evening was a perfect platform for employees to showcase their many talents and provide wholesome entertainment.
