 My Journey at Creospan: A Year of Growth, Learning, and Leadership

It was 19th February 2024 when I walked into Creospan for the very first time.
Like any new beginning, there was excitement, curiosity, and a bit of nervousness.
I was stepping into a company I had heard good things about — but little did I know, in just one year, this place would not only become a big part of my professional life but also play a defining role in my career.

Fast forward to today — I am proud to share that I have been promoted to the position of Tech Lead.
This is more than just a title. It’s the result of countless hours of learning, collaborating, problem-solving, and most importantly, the constant trust and support I’ve received here.


🌟 The First Connection

When I was exploring new opportunities, I had multiple options in front of me — each promising in its own way.
But there was something about Creospan that resonated deeply with me. I was looking for a place where office politics had no room, where the focus was entirely on the work and the people who do it.

I also wanted to be part of a company that could compete with tech giants, not just in scale but in the complexity and impact of its projects. And most importantly, I wanted direct access to leadership — the kind of environment where ideas could turn into actions without months of corporate layers in between.

Those three things became my deciding factors. And today, I can say without hesitation — I made the right call.


💎 The Good That Keeps You Going

From the very first week, I saw how these values weren’t just part of the recruitment pitch — they were built into the culture:

  1. You Get Attention & Support — Leadership takes time to understand your strengths, challenges, and aspirations.
  2. No Politics, Only Trust — You’re given space to take ownership and lead your work.
  3. Work is Noticed & Appreciated — Even small wins are recognized, and big milestones are celebrated.
  4. Safe & Supportive Environment — You feel empowered to experiment, fail, and learn without fear.
  5. Direct Access to Leadership — The beauty of a smaller, more connected company.
  6. Diverse Work Opportunities — Being a service-based company, you get to explore different clients, domains, and technologies.
  7. Challenges That Build Resilience — Some projects push you beyond your comfort zone, but with constant guidance from leadership, they turn into career-shaping experiences.
  8. Competitive Pay & Growth — As the company grows, so does your career and compensation.

🚀 Challenges That Made Me Stronger

Every company has its challenges — and Creospan is no exception.
When I joined, we had fewer clients(In India). The variety of work was limited, and sometimes the uncertainty of service-based projects could be nerve-wracking.

But what stood out was how we handled it together.
Leadership worked hard to expand our client base — and today, just a year later, the number of clients has almost doubled. That’s no small achievement for a growing company.

During difficult market phases, yes, there have been cutbacks — but here’s the difference:
Creospan makes genuine efforts to save roles and support employees in finding their next opportunity within the company. This kind of empathy is rare in the corporate world.


🎯 The Leap to Tech Lead

One of the proudest moments in my career came just a year after joining — being promoted to Tech Lead.
This wasn’t something handed to me overnight. It was the result of:

  • Taking ownership of complex client projects
  • Collaborating closely with teams and leadership
  • Finding solutions in challenging situations
  • Constant learning to stay ahead in my domain

The promotion wasn’t just about recognition — it was a sign of trust. It told me, "We believe you can lead, and we know you’ll do it well."


💬 A Company That Feels Like a Team

At Creospan, you’re never “just an employee.”
You’re part of a team that grows together. When the company wins, you win. When you face challenges, the team stands behind you.

That’s why I believe Creospan isn’t just a workplace — it’s a career partner.
It gives you opportunities, supports you in tough times, and celebrates your achievements.


📌 Final Thoughts

If I had to sum up my first year at Creospan in one sentence, it would be:
“It’s a place where you grow, the company grows, and together you achieve more than you imagined.”

The journey from Developer to Tech Lead in just one year has been nothing short of incredible — and I’m excited for the years ahead.

From day one, I noticed something rare in today’s corporate world—an environment free from unnecessary politics, where merit and collaboration take center stage. Here, ideas are valued regardless of titles, and every team member is encouraged to contribute meaningfully.

Another thing that excites me is the opportunity to compete with tech giants. This isn’t about rivalry—it’s about learning, adapting, and challenging myself alongside some of the sharpest minds in the industry. The exposure to real-world, impactful projects ensures I’m always growing as a professional.
