Lam Research’s 25-year journey in India was marked in Bengaluru through an evening shaped around its people. Designed for over 4,000 employees, the celebration unfolded through shared momentum, turning an anniversary into a living expression of pride, continuity, and collective presence.
Lam Research operates at a global scale, shaping critical technologies across markets and regions. Its 25-year presence in India reflects a deep-rooted relationship built through people, knowledge, and sustained contribution. The anniversary was conceived as a people-led narrative, bringing the global stature of Lam Research into a local, lived context. The concept focused on recognising shared history while carrying forward the spirit that continues to define the organisation’s growth in India.

The approach focused on building a fluid, people-led experience that could hold meaning for a large internal audience, while maintaining rhythm and coherence across a four-thousand-strong celebration in Bengaluru.
Backing The<br><span class="highlighted-h2">Strategy With Expertise</span>
The strategy for Lam Research 25 was shaped well before the first layout or schedule took form. We drew on experience from the event management business to understand how large internal audiences engage across long-format celebrations. Working closely with enterprise teams, the approach balanced creativity with execution, ensuring the experience remained cohesive from planning through delivery.
The Power Of
Collaboration
Lam Research 25 strengthened internal pride by turning a milestone into a moment of connection. It set a benchmark for future celebrations that place people at the centre, showing how large internal gatherings can evolve into meaningful touchpoints that carry forward culture, memory, and momentum.
Once doors opened, the evening held its pace. Crowds settled quickly, movement stayed fluid, and attention never splintered. Moments landed when they needed to, allowing excitement to build steadily and carry through the night with a strong sense of collective presence.
The audience for Lam Research 25 brought different lengths of memory into the same room. Long-term employees carried history, while newer teams sought connection and belonging. We recognised that engagement would emerge through participation rather than passive viewing. This understanding shaped an experience where people could step in through performance, shared spaces, or quiet moments of recognition, choosing how they connected to the celebration.
Lam Research 25 had to honour a long organisational history without feeling retrospective or formal. The challenge was designing an experience that resonated equally with early team members and a younger workforce, within a single evening. We addressed this by building a flexible structure that allowed emotion, participation, and momentum to coexist, keeping the celebration cohesive while accommodating different ways of engaging.
