Mr. Jain also felicitated the Chief Guest for the event, former Managing Director of ADP, Mr. Shakti Sagar.. Mr. Sagar shared, 'Family isn't just about shared blood.

The programme featured a mix of celebratory and heartfelt moments — including a themed fashion walk, vocal performances by employees, group dances, and a behind-the-scenes feature film showcasing the making of Convergence. A special highlight of the evening was a performance by CDK's senior leadership team, who presented a light-hearted skit, a dance routine, and live singing — a crowd favourite that drew wide applause for its spontaneity and humour. A formal Recognition & Rewards segment honoured exemplary contributions across roles and teams, reinforcing the company's culture of appreciation. Mr. Ashish Saxena, Senior Director and Head of Human Resources, delivered the closing remarks. 'This evening is more than a gathering — it's a reflection of the culture we've built together at CDK. Every performance, every helping hand, every shared smile speaks to the values we live by: curiosity, ownership, openness, and the drive to create possibilities. Convergence isn't just an event — it's a celebration of the people who bring our purpose to life, on stage and behind the scenes.' The celebration ended with a group photograph and gala dinner, rounding off the night with energy and warmth.
