WAC @ 13: A Grand Celebration of Innovation, People & Possibilities

“Great journeys often begin with small steps; what matters is the vision to keep moving forward.”

The story of Webandcrafts began with a single computer and an audacious dream that went beyond limits, which has today grown into a global movement shaping businesses worldwide. Each milestone at WAC is not just a reflection of the past, but a loud promise for the future. On August 17th, 2025, we celebrated our 13th anniversary at the Grand Hyatt, Bolgatty, Kochi, which turned out to be an unforgettable evening of people, innovation, and endless possibilities. 

The celebration was more than just a commemoration. It brought together leaders from government, business, and technology, marking a milestone moment, not just for the company but for the future of Kerala in the global innovation landscape.

The grandeur of the 13th anniversary celebration was elevated to the next level with the gracious presence of eminent personalities.  Shri. P. Rajeev, Minister for Law, Industries, and Coir, Government of Kerala, and Shri. Hibi Eden, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, inaugurated the grand evening. 

They were joined by an impressive lineup of dignitaries and industry icons, including Dr. Viju Jacob (Executive Chairman, Synthite Industries), Satyendra Khare (Growth Leader and Head-Strategic partnerships and Distribution (India & SAARC) - Google), Girish Babu (Founder, CEO, Infopark, Former CEO, Technopark and Cyberpark.), Mohammed Madani (Founder and Managing Director, ABC Group), Mohammed Shihab A.B. (CEO, CIG Crescent International Group & Investo Investments), Thomas John (Managing Director, Agappe Diagnostics Ltd.), V. Sathyanarayanan (Joint Managing Partner, Varma & Varma), Tom M. Joseph (Director, Jain University & Chief Facilitator, Future Kerala Mission), Orwell Lionel (Managing Director, Indian Institute of Commerce, Lakshya), Jobin Jose and Jismi Jobin (Co-founders, Jobin & Jismi), Rahul Mamman (Director, MPC Pharma Pvt Ltd), Nikhil Gopalakrishnan (CEO, Pentad Securities), and Merijayana Winston (CEO, Zapare Technologies Pvt Ltd.).

Their collective presence added an extra layer of charm to the already extravagant evening and ignited the dawn of a larger conversation on Kerala’s role in the growing global technology landscape. 

The 13th anniversary celebration also featured a preview of WAC Beyond, scheduled for the year 2026. As part of this, a flagship marketing and technology summit was conducted, participated in by the honourable dignitaries, sharing their insights on inspiring innovation, accelerating technology adoption, and empowering business prospects across Kerala and beyond. 

Then the spotlight shifted to WAC CEO, Jilu Joseph’s exemplary keynote that traced the 13-year journey of the organisation from its inception to becoming a globally sought-after digital transformation partner delivering real-time impact. What started off as a single-room office in 2012 now houses 400+ employees and has delivered 850+ success stories to 600+ international clients. With fully functional offices across Kerala, Dubai, and the United States, she remarked on the company’s goal to expand globally while staying committed to its people-first values. 

No celebration at WAC is complete without honouring its people, who form the heart and soul of the organisation. Three pioneers who have been sincerely serving the company for over a decade were recognized for their contributions. Sreeved M. P., Digital Marketing Head, Anoop K Joseph, Global Sales Head, and Midhun Raj K. R., Head of PHP, were each presented with a Mahindra XEV 9e as a token of gratitude for their seasoned work ethics, loyalty, and leadership. These cars are more than just gifts; they're a symbol of the trusted and committed future we are building together, remarked Jilu Joseph.

In addition, value awards and recognitions were also presented to outstanding teams, performers, and long-serving employees who exemplified WAC’s principles of collaboration, ownership, integrity, and humility. 

The evening thereafter gave way to an elegant gala dinner that was a delight to both the eyes and the palate. The WAC family members presented colourful cultural performances portraying their spirits and grit beyond just official work. The pulse of the grand evening was raised to yet another energetic level with the spectacular live concert by Madras Mail, led by the celebrated musician Alphons Joseph. Altogether, the blend of music, culture, and camaraderie made it a celebration worth cherishing for years to come. 

Thirteen years of Webandcrafts is not just a story of technology, but of people, passion, and purpose. Every milestone in our journey reflects our core belief that true innovation, powered by passionate people, can truly change the world. From humble beginnings in Kerala to establishing a presence across the globe, our story has always echoed possibility. The 13th year milestone of WAC proves that no dream is too small to become extraordinary. 

Our Grand 13th anniversary celebration is a testament to WAC’s courage to dream, grit to build, and vision to innovate and go beyond with passion and purpose.
