“At the NSE ceremony today, our MD Kuldeep Jain made sure it wasn’t just his moment — it was everyone’s. He wore a jacket with photographs of all 600 Cleanmax employees printed on it. A simple but powerful gesture that said this milestone belongs to all of us,” she wrote.
She added, “What people saw was the final moment on stage. What they didn’t see was the journey behind it — coordinating 600 photos, multiple design rounds, tight timelines. I had the opportunity to bring this idea to life, and it was truly a project in itself. Sharing a small glimpse of that journey here.”
Sajnani recalled how this one gesture helped foster a sense of belonging for the employees. “Seeing the happiness and sense of belonging this created across the team made it incredibly special. In a milestone like an IPO, it reminded us that success is always about the people behind it. Very proud to have played a part in this.”
The video offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, showing the team collaborating with tailors to bring the concept to life. It captures everything from the initial brainstorming sessions to the individual photo shoots for every employee, culminating in the final garment that Jain wore on stage.
