Yes, it’s a triple-decker this time — three months, zero dull moments
Confession time: the Cascade took a little monsoon break of its own. But good news travels well even when it’s late, so we’re back with a bumper edition — June, July and August, all rolled into one big, rain-soaked, laughter-filled scroll. Grab your chai, settle in, and let’s relive the last three months of Cybrain being, well, delightfully Cybrain.
🎓 Education Leadership Spotlight: The 3rd Bharat Higher Education Summit 2026
Our CEO, Mr. Puneet Verma, President of TiE Chandigarh and certified room-owner wherever he goes, took the stage at the 3rd Bharat Higher Education Summit 2026. Academia, industry, and policy all in one room? The energy was always going to be electric.
The highlight: a panel on “What Industry Expects from Universities in Viksit Bharat 2047,” focused on how institutions can better prepare students for a fast-changing, tech-driven landscape.
💡 Cybrain Takeaway:
Institutions don’t need more tools; they need fewer silos. If your school is running five different systems for admissions, fees, and attendance, that’s five different places where things fall through the cracks. That’s the gap CSM was built to close.

🏆 Leading the Room: Puneet Verma at TiE Chandigarh’s Biggest AGM 2026
Team Cybrain has every reason to beam with pride, as our Founder, Mr. Puneet Verma, took center stage as President of TiE Chandigarh at the Leadership Conclave & 23rd Annual General Meeting 2026. With 400+ members in attendance, it was the largest AGM in TiE Chandigarh’s history, graced by distinguished guests including Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Dr. Nipun Jindal, IAS and many other dignitaries.
A little detail that made the moment even more special: our founder, Mr Puneet Verma, and the Chief Minister Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji both share their roots in Himachal Pradesh, which made being honoured by him feel less like a formal recognition and more like a homecoming.
Over the past year, his focus has been on bringing entrepreneurs together and building an ecosystem where ideas and collaboration thrive — and this AGM marks yet another proud milestone in that journey.
The pride wasn’t limited to leadership alone. From showcasing our flagship platform, Cyber School Manager (CSM), to being honoured by Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji, it was a proud moment for the entire Cybrain team to be part of an event celebrating innovation and entrepreneurship.
💡 Cybrain Takeaway: Credibility isn’t built overnight or through one big moment. It grows through consistency, trust, and the value you bring over time , something we keep at the heart of our work
Relive the moment here!

Welcome aboard, everyone! 🚀
Foundation Day 2026: Celebrating 14 Years of Cybrain
This June, we also celebrated the foundation day of the Cybrain brand on the 8th. It was a significant milestone — completing 14 incredible years of service. And what better way to celebrate than by giving back to the society that has helped us on this journey.
The entire Cybrain family came together to organise a langar, bringing everyone together over a meal rooted in gratitude, humility, and togetherness.

Not only that, we also honoured some of the standing pillars behind the Cybrain brand who have given more than 15 years of service in building the trust and upholding the Cybrain standards in every project that has contributed to our success.

Teej Celebrations at Cybrain
Teej brought a little extra colour and festivity to the office this month. From beautiful traditional outfits to festive gifts, snacks, and plenty of conversations, it was a nice break from our usual workday routine.
Our ladies looked lovely in their traditional attire, and the festive celebrations brought everyone together for some fun moments and plenty of smiles.
One of the highlights of the day was the Mehendi Competition among the boys. Some took it quite seriously, while others were clearly there just for the fun of it! The designs may not have been perfect, but the competition, laughter, and friendly banter definitely made it memorable.
It was a simple celebration, but that gave everyone a chance to step away from work for a while, enjoy the festive spirit, and spend some good time together as a team.
💡 Cybrain Takeaway:
It’s moments like these that remind us that being a team isn’t always about work. Sometimes, it’s about dressing up, having a little fun, cheering each other on, and creating memories together. The mehendi may not have been perfect, but the laughs definitely were!
A Day of Pride: Independence Day at Cybrain
Independence Day brought a wave of tricolour spirit to the Cybrain office as we came together to celebrate the 79th year of India’s independence.
The office was dressed for the occasion with tricolour flags, balloons, and festive decorations adding a patriotic touch to our everyday workspace. From decorating their desks to adding little touches of the national colours around the office, our team made sure the spirit of the day was felt everywhere.
Throughout the day, everyone came together to celebrate the occasion, share a few words about what Independence Day means to them, and reflect on the journey of our country. There were conversations, smiles, photographs, and plenty of team moments that made the celebration feel special.
While the celebrations were simple, they gave us a chance to pause from our usual routines and appreciate the freedom and opportunities we have today.
At Cybrain, we believe that celebrating our country is also about looking ahead — continuing to learn, grow, innovate, and contribute in our own way towards building a stronger and more progressive India.
A day of pride, a celebration with the team, and a reminder of the responsibility that comes with freedom.
And that’s a wrap on our June-August edition, months that truly had it all! New beginnings with our bright-eyed 2026 batch, 14 proud years as a private limited company, legends honoured for their unshakeable loyalty, anniversaries worth toasting, and a birthday that deserved every cheer.
As the monsoon settles in and the rains keep pouring, so does our gratitude for every person who makes Cybrain not just a workplace, but a family. Whether you’ve been here 15 years or 15 days, you are the story we love telling.
Here’s to more rain, more milestones, and more moments that remind us why we do what we do, together.
Stay dry, stay spirited, and we’ll see you in the next edition!
