Comic book posters decorate the walls while meeting rooms are named after music notes. A running track lines the floor as the Liverpool aura is evident throughout Daythree’s office space.
Thus it comes as no surprise why the chief executive officer of the regional business service provider, Raymond Devadass, is sending a team for Twentytwo13’s Sila Lari, Jangan Duduk Fun Run 2018.
“I was attracted by the name of the run and didn’t even blink when I was told about it,” said Raymond, 47, who was accompanied by Daythree outbound operations head Charanjit Kaur.
“I’m an avid runner and a lot of the events out there are very competitive. A fun run encourages more people to sweat it out and have a good time.
“This event also portrays the lighter side of life.”
Surrounded by Liverpool memorabilia in his office, Raymond embraces a sporting culture at home and at work.
“Running is the perfect family event. In most sports like badminton, tennis or futsal, you have to depend on someone else but for running, all you need is just a good pair of shoes.
“I’m encouraging my nine-year-old daughter Esha to run. Both of us competed in a 5.4km Star Wars Run 2018 in Singapore (on May 5) and we completed it in about 45 minutes.
“My wife Priya is fast and I still say I’m chasing after her,” he added in jest.
His colleagues in Daythree used to either run or walk at Taman Bandaran Kelana Jaya once a week when their office was based in Kelana Jaya. Daythree moved to Seksyen U1, Shah Alam earlier this year.
At least 15 Daythree runners are expected for Sila Lari, Jangan Duduk Fun Run 2018.
Staying true to the motto of ‘Keep it simple, keep it straight’, Daythree breaks down complex operational processes at work places and develops best practices to manage business standards. Daythree serves some of the biggest corporations regionally. It also provides customer relationship management.
Even the company’s logo – an okay sign – reflects Daythree’s culture of simplicity when addressing matters.
“Why the name Daythree? We wanted to grab people’s attention and just like Twentytwo13, it’s different and many will be intrigued to know what the company is all about. That creates conversations.”
“The number three is also significant as the company is undergoing its third evolution with aspirations of growing globally,” he added.
Sila Lari, Jangan Duduk Fun Run will be held on Nov 4, 2018 at Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur. The event is supported by the Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur Athletics Association (FTKLAA).
Other supporters of the 5km run include F&N Beverages, Kuckreja & Co and Mesuma Sports Sdn Bhd.
