Off the Grid, On the Track: LightCastle Goes Karting 

On 5 November 2026, the LightCastle Partners team set aside their usual workday and headed to Go Kart, Madani Avenue, for an evening of speed, friendly competition and team spirit. The outing offered a welcome change of pace and brought colleagues together for a shared experience beyond the office. 

Anticipation grew as participants arrived and put on their helmets. Colleagues who typically collaborate in meetings, on projects and across spreadsheets soon found themselves side by side on the starting grid, ready to race, cheer one another on and enjoy some good-natured rivalry. 

Bijon Islam, CEO, joined the team on the track and raced alongside his colleagues. His participation set a relaxed and inclusive tone for the evening and reflected how approachable leadership builds trust and encourages more open connections across the organisation.

Each racer had three laps to make their mark, so every corner counted. Sharp turns, bold overtakes, close finishes, and the odd spinout kept drivers and spectators equally engaged. Some took a measured, strategic line, while others went full throttle from the first straight. There was no single champion, but everyone crossed the line with a story: a perfectly judged corner, a narrow escape, or a lap they are already planning to beat next time. On the track, age, designation, and seniority took a back seat.

After the races, the team gathered for refreshments and casual conversation. It felt a bit like a post-race press conference, as everyone shared their favorite moments from the track, talked about close calls, and laughed about a few funny mistakes. It was a great chance to relax and get to know colleagues outside the usual work setting. 

Beyond the races, the evening captured something central to LightCastle’s culture, making space for people to connect beyond their roles. With friendly competition, shared laughter and leadership racing alongside the team, the outing showed how time outside the office helps build a workplace that is more open, connected, and inclusive.
