Diwali at Zealous has always been more than just a festival.
It’s that time of the year when our teams come together, set work aside for a bit, and fill the office with laughter, colors, and unforgettable memories.
This year too, we celebrated Diwali the Zealous way, with three days packed with fun, food, games, and moments that truly brought everyone closer.

We began our Diwali week with one of our most-loved Zealous traditions, the Treasure Hunt.
The game lasted for two hours and had everyone running around the Prahladnagar area, solving clues, completing quirky tasks, and taking selfies at every stop (because no selfie meant no next clue, that was the rule!).
One of the clues said, “IT department plays here.”
The answer is the playground nearby. Simple enough, but when you have ten people guessing at once, things get interesting fast!
Another clue read:
“Find the teammate who clocked the longest hours yesterday and give them a 10-second ride in the victory chariot (wheelchair).”
That one had us negotiating with the security guard for a wheelchair, recording a hilarious video, and cheering our teammate through the “royal ride.”
From brainstorming riddles to sprinting across streets, the hunt was full of laughter, chaos, and teamwork, exactly what makes Zealous… well, Zealous.
(We’re dropping a few of those riddles below. If you can solve them, share your answers in the comments!)

Day two was all about food and friendly competition.
Our Food Mela, another long-standing Zealous Diwali ritual, saw five teams setting up creative food and game stalls, turning the office into a mini carnival.
From cupcakes and mocktails to pani puri and fun challenges, the stalls were buzzing with excitement. The goal? Earn the highest “Zealous cash” by the end of the day!
And just when everyone thought the fun was over, there came a surprise twist: the hook step challenge!
Each team’s lead had to come forward, a random Bollywood song played for a few seconds, and whoever nailed the step first won bonus points.
Between the food, the music, and the impromptu dance-offs, it was a day full of smiles and endless energy.

The third day brought out the desi spirit in full swing.
Everyone showed up in their best traditional outfits, filling the office with color and festive charm.
We started the day with beautiful rangolis at the entrance and ended it with something truly unique, a clay art party.
Instead of crackers, we chose creativity, shaping clay into small artistic pieces that reflected imagination and joy.
That’s how we add our own thoughtful, eco-friendly twist to Diwali.
The evening wrapped up perfectly with a team dinner at Makeba Café, live music, great food, and even greater company.
The highlight of the night? Our MD is taking the mic and singing a song, and the entire team is joining in, cheering, clapping, and vibing along.
And that’s how our Diwali week went — a perfect mix of fun, friendship, and festive energy.
From hunting clues to sharing meals and dancing late into the night, every moment had its own story.
As the lights dimmed and the celebrations came to an end, one thing was clear ,
It’s not just the festival that makes Diwali special at Zealous, it’s the people who bring it to life.
Here’s to more laughter, more colors, and many more moments that remind us why we love being part of this team. ✨
Our team is always eager to know what you are looking for. Drop them a Hi!
