AKAL marked its 26th foundation day on 25th January, a milestone shaped by each member of AKAL with years of hard work, shared purpose, and dedication. On 31st January 2026, the AKAL family came together at Wildvadi Theme Park in Gurugram, India, to celebrate this journey. More than just an anniversary, the day was a tribute to 26 years of steady growth, shared effort, and the people-first vision that guides everything we do.
AKAL’s name, meaning ‘timeless’, reflects the vision that has guided the company since its founding in 2000. Over 2 decades, AKAL has grown into a trusted technology leader, delivering quality-driven solutions in GovTech, HR Tech, staffing, software development, and workforce management.

Honouring Leadership and Vision That Inspires
One of the most meaningful parts of the day was the speech by Mr Sarabjit Singh, Managing Director at AKAL; he shared his glorious words for the collective effort that has shaped AKAL’s journey, Mr Sarabjit spoke about the values and commitment that continue to drive the organisation forward.
“To continue striving to be the best, to push boundaries, and to remain committed to being #1 in whatever we do.”

As awardees were recognised on stage by the leadership team, the applause and cheers spoke volumes, reflecting a culture that truly values effort, commitment, and shared success.
Culture, Performances, and Unity
No party with AKAL is ever just a celebration without arts and culture. The celebration kicked off with an energetic Japanese dance performance, signalling that the AKAL community is well-connected and enthusiastic! The joyful moments continued with energising performances by team members, laughter during group photos, and the ceremonial cake cutting that brought everyone together in celebration. This whole energy made it clear: AKAL isn’t just a company… it’s a community built on shared values and lasting bonds.
Beyond the Hall: Team Building and Fun
After the formal programme concluded, team members headed outdoors for shared meals and giggles and a relaxed exploration of the theme park. These moments away from desks added special memories and warmth to the day, strengthening bonds and reinforcing the idea that great teamwork is built not just on laptop screens and Gmails, but through shared experiences and time spent together.
