Meet one of our ML interns who worked on new features for Paperpal, our AI-based language correction tool for academic writing. "We explored a lot of large, recent language models. It was really exciting to work on cutting-edge technology that has only just entered the market and find ways in which it can help researchers!" On asked about his experience being a #CACTUSIntern, he says "These 8 weeks were more of a course than an internship for me. From a physics and math background, I pivoted to tech and Machine learning through the fellowship at @plakshauniversity and I'm so glad I landed this internship with CACTUS. I loved the passion that everyone in the tech team has and how I could have a conversation about anything with literally anyone on the team." As we near the end of his 8-week internship, here's celebrating Shivay, his ideas, and his zest for learning! 🎉 #PeopleOfCACTUS #InternsOfCACTUS #CACTUSIntern #LifeAtCACTUS #MachineLearning #AI #LifeAtCACTUSTech

“A lot of my ‘firsts’ have been with CACTUS. My first house, my first international trip, and my first child. I am now happy to have a ‘second’ here” – Divya Nair, our HR Director and second-time returning mom at CACTUS. Divya just got back from her 6-month maternity leave last week and is now the proud mother of her second little boy! “What makes the leave meaningful is the support that the organization provides you. In the one week since my return, leaders and team members have been letting me figure out what timing works for me best, and giving me the space to come up to speed at my own pace. Now that we are remote, I don’t even have to worry about the separation anxiety," she says. With 54% of women in the organization and 90% of them joining back after their maternity leave, we are proud to create a culture of empathy, support, and high performance for our Cactizen moms. Our 6 month maternal leave policy can be combined with another 6 months of unpaid leave to give you more time with your new born. Here's to Divya and every other mother figure out there! Happy Mother’s Day :)
Meet Mafalda, our scientific writer in Cactus Life Sciences who simplifies complex medical information to make it more accessible to patients and healthcare workers. “What I like the most about CACTUS is reflected in their guiding principle – 'Continuously destroy your past to reinvent yourself’. In CACTUS, there is no exact way to do something. There is flexibility to invent and reinvent yourself along the way as long as we keep maximizing the success of what we do.” Read on to know how Mafalda is being a #VoiceOfScience!

We recently concluded our 5-day "All-tech" meet where 100+ folks from all over the country were flown down to our office in Mumbai. Our engineering, product, and development teams across our product suites came together for the first time this year! What do remote workers do when they meet, you ask? It was a week filled with brainstorming sessions, product feature iterations, getting to know their colleagues from the screen, and wondering how much they'd miscalculated their height! Many new folks met some of the senior leadership, experienced our guiding principles (#TheCACTUSWay) in action, and of course, participated in a whole lot of dancing, singing, and having fun! "It's energizing to experience all the tech folks in one place and work and have fun together. Events like these in a remote set-up really is a game-changer," says Kunal, our Engineering Manager. Here's a quick BTS of our jam-packed and fun 5 days!💥 #PeopleOfCACTUS #LifeAtCACTUS #LifeAtCACTUSTech #RemoteWork #AllThingsTech

A breezy affair ft. Chennai Cactizens! We organized our third location-based community meet-up last month in a quaint spot by the beach in Chennai. People from different functions and verticals had a chance to interact, share some good food and make even better memories. Although, what’s a Chennai meet-up without a quick dip of toes in the ocean? The group had a great lunch and a lovely time at the beach! The banter, camaraderie, and connections made in a short period remind us how important these in-person meets are in today’s world. They came as strangers and left as good friends with many plans made to meet more often! #PeopleOfCACTUS #LifeAtCACTUS #Chennai
