Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: During the pandemic when most of the businesses were on the cusp of disaster, Daffodil Software witnessed a whopping 45% of growth in revenue and was actively hiring new talents, becoming a beacon of hope in those desperate times. This boom can be traced to Daffodil’s rigorous investments in employee training and the adoption of technological and industry best practices.
Daffodil invests extensively in training. It has revamped its training methodologies so it can train freshers straight out of college in the latest technologies, business processes and other skills required for an IT job.
The company is scaling up to employ more women in the workforce in order to build diversity in the workplace. It is redefining the powerful role of a woman in the fast-paced IT industry with initiatives such as “BreakTheBreak Programme” which provides a platform to women who took a break from work and are striving to resume their careers. Through this programme, Daffodil Software aims at providing opportunities for women to re-integrate themselves professionally. This program also gives women a chance to upgrade their skill set and adjust to the contemporary work environment. It invites women to be a part of a culture that reflects continuous learning & development, a result-oriented mindset, and innovation.
