Most of the students take a routine life style. Complete schooling, get some degree, and get into some company. Work there until “the boss” fires you or you quit. But when Deepak,Abhinav,Ashwin and Hisam from L.B.S College of Engineering,Kasaragod did things differently, they are no longer the guy-next door.And when technopark took them into their incubator family, nuturing with right support and publicity they started creating magic.

“Swades” was the perfect project to take further, and when the team shared belief in it, and vision for it, marked the beginning of “Innoz“.

 US Technologies, one of the largest companies in technopark is organizing  a ‘Wellness walk’ on 20th August 2008 in Technopark premises at 4.00 pm. This is an initiative by the HR department of the company aimed to promote good health and well being of its employees thus encouraging a healthy working environment.

 The initiative with its motto, ‘One step furthur… towards caring and sharing online karela ‘, is ofcourse an important step to watch and learn for all the techies as well as for the HR people in different IT companies. It is learnt that, among the professionals in the job sector, the rate of deterioration of health is most among the IT professionals, with the bugs and deadlines making a heavy toll on mental and physical health. The hectic time schedules keep them away from exercises too. Only less than twenty percent of technopark employees travel by their foot to reach office everyday. The much appreciated event is a preface to think about the personal health of every IT employee. quitting smoking with zyban
