MYCPE ONE Janmashtami Event Sees 250 Staff in Ahmedabad

MYCPE ONE Marks Janmashtami with Celebrations Across 10 Indian Offices

Janmashtami brought a festive change to workplaces across MYCPE ONE’s offices in India, with employees taking part in traditional dress, rangoli contests, office decoration and Garba during celebrations held at locations in Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Bhopal, Indore, Lucknow, Mohali, Udaipur and Nagpur.

The largest gathering was reported at the company’s corporate office at Atulyaksh in Ahmedabad, where at least 250 employees joined the celebrations. Rajkot and Vadodara each recorded about 150 participants, while the offices in Bhopal, Indore, Lucknow, Surat, Mohali, Udaipur and Nagpur saw between 30 and 50 employees taking part.

Employees from Finance, Human Resources, Operations, Strategy, IT and Technology joined the activities. Many arrived in traditional Indian clothes, while teams took part in rangoli and decoration competitions. Surprise awards and other festive activities were also held during the celebrations.

At the Ahmedabad office and at several other locations, employees joined Garba sessions, adding a distinctly Gujarati touch to the Janmashtami programme.

Janmashtami is observed as the birth festival of Lord Krishna and is marked in many parts of India with fasting, prayers, temple visits, devotional singing and cultural programmes. In 2026, the main Janmashtami observance fell on Friday, September 4, according to the Government of India’s 2026 holiday calendar. Some communities observe the festival according to different calendar traditions, which can extend celebrations into September 5.

The timing also placed this year’s celebrations within a busy period for offices across India, where religious and cultural festivals are often reflected in workplace activities. Companies with staff spread across several cities face a practical question when marking such occasions: how to give employees in different locations a chance to participate while keeping the format suitable for each office.

For MYCPE ONE, the celebrations took place across 10 Indian locations. The participation figures supplied by the company indicate that the Ahmedabad office alone accounted for at least 250 participants, while Rajkot and Vadodara added roughly 300 more between them. The remaining seven locations reported smaller gatherings of between 30 and 50 employees each.

The scale of the Ahmedabad gathering is also linked to the size of the company’s new corporate facility. MYCPE ONE opened its Atulyaksh headquarters in Ahmedabad in October 2025. The office was reported to have a capacity of about 700 seats and was planned for teams working in accounting, finance and technology. At the time of its opening, the company said it had more than 2,000 team members across India and the Philippines.

Public company records and business profiles also place MYCPE ONE’s operations in the accounting and financial services sector. The company was founded by brothers Shalin Parikh and Valay Parikh. A recent profile of the business described MYCPE ONE as a provider of services for CPA and accounting firms, including accounting support, staffing, continuing professional education and related services.

Shalin Parikh, CEO and Co-Founder of MYCPE ONE, said, “Festivals like Janmashtami bring people together and create an opportunity to connect through our cultural traditions. It was encouraging to see colleagues across locations and functions participate with such enthusiasm and make the celebrations a shared experience.”

The company’s Janmashtami programme comes as Gujarat continues to hold a strong position in India’s outsourced accounting and tax-services industry. A recent report by The Times of India noted that Gujarat has become an important centre for work serving overseas accounting and tax firms, supported by its pool of accounting professionals and demand from markets such as the United States. The report said MYCPE ONE was employing around 3,000 people and had an annual turnover of about Rs 500 crore, figures attributed to the company and its leadership.

The growth of this sector has also changed the nature of office life for many employees. Accounting and tax work serving overseas clients can involve extended working hours, technology-heavy processes and teams spread across cities. Company gatherings therefore provide employees with time away from regular work routines, although the value of such events depends on participation rather than the size of the programme itself.

At MYCPE ONE, the numbers varied sharply by location. Ahmedabad’s 250-plus participants were several times the reported turnout at any of the smaller offices. Rajkot and Vadodara each drew around 150 employees, while the other seven offices reported between 30 and 50 participants apiece.

The different attendance levels also reflect the company’s spread across large cities and smaller business centres. Offices in places such as Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot and Vadodara operate within Gujarat, while Bhopal, Indore, Lucknow, Mohali, Udaipur and Nagpur extend the company’s presence into other parts of the country.

For employees, the activities centred on familiar elements of Indian festivals rather than a formal corporate programme. Traditional clothing, rangoli, decorations, music and Garba allowed colleagues to take part according to local customs.

The celebrations also show how a festival rooted in religious tradition can take different forms outside temples and homes. In workplaces, Janmashtami programmes can include cultural activities that allow people to participate without following a full religious ceremony.

This year’s Janmashtami date was officially listed as September 4 in the Government of India’s holiday calendar, while September 5 marked the day after the main observance. MYCPE ONE’s account of its celebrations, dated September 5, therefore covers festivities held around the festival period rather than suggesting that September 5 was the sole national date for Janmashtami.

For a company operating across multiple cities, the event also provided a common occasion for employees working in different functions and locations to take part in a shared celebration. The reported participation, however, remained strongly local, with each office organising activities around its own workplace and staff.
