The 100th International Women’s Day that dawned on 08 March 2010 saw much activity, excitement and fun at Azimuth. The efforts taken by the Azi Events Management Team to ensure a memorable centenary of the International Women’s Day paid off in style with all the members especially the ladies of the Azi Family taking back home wonderful memories of the day.

The day was packed with interesting events. The idea behind the Azimuth International Women’s Day Celebration was to show our appreciation to women & actively demonstrate our commitment to uphold the rights and privileges of womanhood. It is but natural that Azimuth that has 65% of its workforce as ladies, should do so.
