At 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽, we believe kindness is not limited to a single day or a single act. It is a mindset that shapes relationships, strengthens communities, and empowers workplaces. When we choose empathy, patienc,e and respect in every interaction, we build environments where ideas grow, people thrive, and progress becomes shared.

Kindness in action can be simple. A smile. A willing hand. A moment spent listening. A gesture of appreciation. These small drops of positivity travel further than we imagine, creating ripples that uplift teams, partners, and communities around us.

This 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we reaffirm our commitment to lead with compassion, act with integrity and encourage supportive collaboration across every division and every region we serve. Real strength lies not just in innovation or scale, but in the humanity we bring to our work every day.

Let us inspire kindness.
Let us practise it.
Let us be the ripple that becomes a wave.

At Centena Group, we always believe that real success is measured not only by business growth but by the positive change we create for people, communities, and the planet.

That belief was recognised recently when the Dubai Chamber of Commerce awarded us the ESG Label, placing Centena among the top sustainability performers in the region.

Our Chairman & Managing Director, Sanjay Raghunath, expressed it best:

While we take pride in this achievement, it also reflects our long-term strategy to stringently evaluate ESG readiness across our divisions, identify gaps and build a targeted growth plan. The ESG Label serves as a roadmap for organisations striving to align with best global practices in sustainability, and we aim to take meaningful actions that benefit our stakeholders, communities, and the planet.”

𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐭. 𝐌𝐫. 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐕𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧

"I have been here since 2004 because of the trust. Trust in the company, trust in the leadership, and trust in the people around me."

– 𝐌𝐫. 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐕𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧

When Mr. Subash Vasudevan joined ScreenCheck, Centena's security and identification solutions vertical, in 2004, the company was still in its early stages, with a small team of 10 to 15 people. Despite the size, Subash quickly felt connected to the company.



“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. 𝐈𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡.”

As Centena expanded, so did the opportunities within its various divisions. ScreenCheck, a key part of Centena, became where Subash could apply his technical skills and grow. Throughout the years, he thrived under the guidance of Mr. Shaji, Mr. Faisal, and Mr. Sanjay, whose leadership helped him develop both professionally and personally.



“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭.”

From starting in Technical Support, Subash’s commitment and hard work earned him the role of Senior Technician. And through it all, the trust that Centena and its leadership placed in him kept him motivated, even during challenging times.



“𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞. 𝐈 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬.”



Today, with over 18 years of service, Subash continues to serve as Senior Technician at ScreenCheck. His journey with Centena has been marked by growth, challenges, and the values that shaped his career.



For Subash, it’s always been about trust in the company, the leadership, and the relationships that have helped him succeed.



And it’s that trust that has made him not just a part of Centena but an essential part of its journey.

Who says yoga needs a mat?

This International Yoga Day, we added a fun twist to our celebrations — Centena’s teams across our regional offices came together for a unique Chair & Laughter Yoga session, turning everyday workspaces into zones of zen and giggles!

From work desks to training rooms, our teams stretched, breathed, and shared a whole lot of laughter, proving that yoga is much more than poses, but also about presence, connection, and a little bit of playfulness.

The collective energy was truly infectious; from lifting our moods to strengthening our bonds, the session was a total energy booster.

A big shoutout to all who joined in with such enthusiasm! Let’s keep the smiles and positive vibes flowing!

Be the reason someone gets a second chance.



Every year, millions rely on the kindness of strangers to survive — in surgeries, emergencies, or chronic treatments.

A single unit of blood can save not just one life, but sometimes three.



This World Blood Donor Day, let’s honour the quiet heroes who make healing possible — and let’s become one ourselves.



When you donate blood, you are not just giving a resource — you are giving time, hope, and a second chance.



Donate blood. Share life.

Plastic was never meant to outlive us — but it’s doing exactly that.



Every year, the world produces over 300 million tons of plastic waste, much of which ends up in our rivers, oceans, forests, and even in the food we eat and the air we breathe. This pollution is a growing crisis that threatens every corner of our ecosystem.



From choking marine life and disrupting food chains, to degrading soil and releasing toxins, plastic pollution is destroying the very systems that sustain life on Earth. Sea turtles confuse plastic bags for jellyfish. Coral reefs suffocate under microplastic debris. Birds feed shards of plastic to their young. And now, traces of plastic have even been found in human blood and breast milk.



World Environment Day 2025 reminds us that this isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a humanitarian one.

By reducing plastic pollution, we make a meaningful contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals — advancing climate action, promoting sustainable production and consumption, protecting oceans and marine life, restoring damaged ecosystems, and preserving biodiversity for generations to come.



It starts with action — not tomorrow, but today.

Say no to single-use plastic. Embrace reusable alternatives. Advocate for better policies.



Because plastic may last forever — but our chance to fix this won’t.
