A Week That Celebrates the People and Culture Behind IT By Design
January 16 to January 23, 2026 · Across India
Every year, IT By Design takes a moment to pause and reconnect with what truly powers our organization: people, culture, and community. Our Annual Partner Retreat reflects that intention.
A Journey into the Heart of IT By Design
From January 16–23, 2026, we return to India for a journey that blends cultural immersion, operational transparency, and leadership connection. This experience invites our partners to see ITBD not just as a global talent engine, but as a living culture shaped by purpose, history, and human connection.
This is a week to step back, reflect, and rediscover the heartbeat of the teams who support MSPs every day.
Experiencing ITBD Through the Lens of India
India is more than the backdrop of our operations, it’s the foundation of our values, our people-first philosophy, and the resilience that has shaped ITBD for two decades.
This retreat takes partners across the country, highlighting the diversity, depth, and heart that define our culture. Each location offers a different perspective:
- Delhi & Noida reveal the structure and discipline behind our engineering and operations teams.
- Agra’s Taj Mahal offers a moment of inspiration and reflection.
- Mussoorie introduces the calm, clarity, and freshness of the Himalayan foothills.
- Chandigarh showcases innovation and architectural harmony.
- Amritsar provides spiritual grounding at the Golden Temple.
Together, these moments create a narrative about who we are as a company and why our culture continues to strengthen global MSP partnerships.
Strengthening the Ties That Shape Great Partnerships
This retreat brings partners closer to the teams who support their MSP every day. It’s a rare opportunity to meet engineers, leaders, and delivery teams in person, building trust and understanding through shared experiences.
Equally meaningful is the opportunity for partners to connect with one another. Conversations happen over guided tours, mountain walks, shared meals, and cultural explorations. In these moments, community grows, not from formal sessions, but from authentic interactions that create lasting relationships.
Leadership Renewal Through Perspective
The pace of MSP leadership can be relentless. The India Retreat creates space to step away and reflect, not on KPIs or dashboards, but on purpose, values, and leadership energy.
Time in the Himalayas, the quiet of Mussoorie mornings, and the serenity of Amritsar offer leaders a rare pause. This is not only a cultural journey; it’s a leadership reset. Many return with renewed clarity, deeper appreciation for their teams, and a broader perspective on growth.
Honoring the People Behind the Partnership
The retreat is also a celebration of the ITBD teams who work across time zones to support partners every day. Seeing the pride, discipline, and passion inside our offices often becomes one of the most meaningful moments for leaders who attend.
It reinforces a simple truth:
Global talent is not just an operational model, it’s a human story.
A Tradition That Reflects Who We Are
The IT By Design Annual Partner Retreat has become a tradition that reflects the best of who we are: a global family grounded in culture, collaboration, and care.
It’s a moment to honor the relationships that make our work meaningful and to experience the depth of the community behind every service we deliver.
As January approaches, we look forward to welcoming our partners to India once again, to share the places that shaped us, the people who inspire us, and the culture that continues to strengthen our partnerships every year.
