SANSMARAN Newsletter VBeyond

1

6TH Issue

With the passes of June, we are in the 3rd quarter of the year 2015, means half of the year has already passed. This special issue of the newsletter is dedicated to last six months events & achievements. It is perfect time & opportunity to look back at what happened and what we have achieved. This special issue newsletter will be focused on two major points. One, addition of Multi National Clients like PWC, WNS in India Operations & huge expansion of CDI team (25 people team, which is largest ever team in VBeyond for a client). Second, VBeyond Premier League 2015 (May) which was a grand level cricket tournament. VPL was focused on employee engagement & maximum participation of employees followed by a grand After Party in Blue Lounge, Hazaratganj. The significant factor was the presence of our top three leaders & their active involvement in VPL (Some people quoted this as mini conference ). To conclude additional aspects of this issue, Interview-Featured employee, B ‘day, work anniversary, reward & recognition, are major column of focus. We strongly believe remaining six months will be remarkable in VBeyond history for business stand of point. We will hire & develop resources even more in the future (more likely, we will cross 100 employees number in couple of month). We hope you will enjoy reading the newsletter! SANSMARAN

Baleshwar popularly known as Bala amongst his colleagues has completed his successful 7 years in VBeyond. Team SANSMARAN took the opportunity to highlight his personal and professional journey with VBeyond Corporation.

Question 1: What made you join VBeyond Corporation?... Since VBeyond is celebrating your 7th work anniversary, so I should ask, how VBeyond found you? Bala: Hahaha… I am honored! Well it is same story which generally happens with every college graduate. I got selected in VBeyond through college campus, in the year 2008. To be very frank, at that time decision was very tough. VBeyond was start up that time. It was my first interview & I was in great dilemma to join or to wait for next company. But somewhere in back of my mind, I was looking for some bigger opportunity. There was risk and growth both were involved in that decision but I took the risk keeping future growth in my mind. And I feel proud that my decision was right. Question 2: When you completed 2 years with VBeyond, at that point of time, what was thought process about your career in VBeyond? Bala: I joined VBeyond in June 2008 as a management trainee at Gurgaon centre. And within 3 months, I did 21

placements, it was mass hiring for TNS (now it is Kantar Group). Being a fresher in the industry, that was biggest achievement for me. In January 2009 I got promoted as Recruitment Executive & then as an Assistant manager. It sounds very good but reality was different. It was starting of my career & I got promoted bit fast but kind of responsibility and work challenges can justify all stages of promotion. So in nut shell “My decision was right because I was growing with the organization. Question 3: When you moved to Lucknow, and how did you manage everything professionally and personally. Bala: Well professionally moving from tier 1 city to tier 2 city was biggest challenge. We moved to Lucknow on 25th June 2009.We were ready for all kind of challenges like limited opportunity, limited resources and establishing all together new infrastructure. But it was not mountain which I had to conquer instead I was

“May be one day we’ll find the place where our dreams and reality collide.”

ready to conquer myself and I did it. Initially we started insurance hiring, but could not get substantial in that domain, so after 6 months (Jan 2010), we started executive search hiring with Genpact & few other clients. Then in May-June 2010 we started our US Operations. Still I was responsible for operations, HR and admin. But good part was that we included energetic and dynamic team members like Devina, Disha, Pragya, Beena in India Operations and Alok, Sid, Fakhrul in US Operations. Question 4: So when did you get rid of operations and came as a full-fledged HR? Bala: Well in recruiting/staffing firm like ours, there is very small place for dedicated HR resource. So, I was always part of operations team. But yes! You can say since late 2013 early 2014 I started acting as full-fledged HR, because till that time I managed to set up dedicated department for admin & finance, marketing and IT. Question 5: Your milestone/Achievements so for in the organization? Bala: Establishing Lucknow branch, creating and formulating HR policies, compliances, documentation, quality hiring and more hahaha! Question 6: What kind of attitude you generally see in fresher? Bala: I want to say two words, they are restless and always looking shortcut to success. But what I want to suggest them, they should first learn skill & have proper taste of success. They should always look for learning & this can not be possible without devoting substantial time in a company. And if you think after spending quality time, there is no scope for new learning and growth, you should then take your decision. At VBeyond you can see

no. of examples, people has achieved good position and increased their roles and responsibilities. Question 7: How do you look at your growth graph, personally and professionally? Bala: Well personally, I joined VBeyond when I was single, but now have a great life partner and recently blessed with baby boy. And professional I feel I am HR of one of the growing organization which is “Employer of choice” in Lucknow. Question 8: Your interest? Bala: Bala is known for “Singer of VBeyond” ,hahaha, though I have tough competition with new VBeyondians. But I like singing and whenever I get time, I do write also. Question 9: Very old question Bala, How do you manage your work-life balance? Bala: If in the organization your role is critical and you are one of the responsible person, in that case working hours cannot be defined. I used to have had tough time to manage my personal life and professional life. Like other senior leaders, even I had to face complaints from my wife and brother, but this is how it happened and I managed. But on top of that I have got flexi working hours too, that’s been a great help to manage my personal and professional life. Question 10: Chalte-Chalte, VBeyondian’s favorite HR wants to say something? Bala: Frankly, I don’t feel myself that great that you wished to had my interview. Since starting, I never wanted me to be in limelight. Whatever came to me…. I did it..I did it with full dedication & honesty. Further, I don’t know I am favorite HR or not & neither my aim is to become favorite but I want to become honest & strong HR.

VBeyond’s Team Hudson is one of the fastest growing team under RPO vertical. Presenting,

Small case study, why these guys are cynosure of all eyes at VBeyond Corporation.

As a team what these guys did differently. After few initial hiccups in the month of Feb team was little bit diverted and nervous because of new challenges. They started focusing on all kind of requirements from all offices of Hudson and made strategy to fulfill all the uncovered requirements and supported the client with full spirit. They are the team of 5 guys (Bhanu, Navneet, Ritesh, Sunil, Divyansh) and they support 3 offices of Hudson and each office has their own way of working style, so it was tough for these guys to adopt any individual culture and work. They made their own way of working style that was "Aggressive Recruitment" and made strategy to fulfill any req within the SLA of 24 hours and this mantra was successful shot and proved to be a super hit mantra for them. They always worked in an independent culture and discussed all the basic issues to overcome all hurdles. Daily monitoring helped them to evaluate their performance .They started focusing on the quality of work and delivered the best quality candidates against all the requirements and this helped them to achieve the desired goal. They have been successful on all the accounts of Hudson and opened a new and most popular account of Hudson "Ameriprise Financials" and made 4 placements in a single month "April '15".

Bhanu’s (Team Lead) success mantra: After few down falls Bhanu analyzed the deviation point of team and did his own assessment and decided to lead from the front with the account managers. He scheduled weekly call with the account managers and made it as a regular practice to understand client’s needs and requirements and reflected only positive points in front of his team. He fetched maximum requirements from client and supported them aggressively with the quality work. It helped Bhanu to stamp his trust on client and that made Bhanu, client’s first preference to support their requirements. Relationship building practice helped Bhanu to get the insight of the work and he guided his team mates to prioritize the requirements. Bhanu said, “I had involved team members and I let my team members know, the pressure of client, which kept them alive to work hard and get the success.” Bhanu didn’t stop here, he Started sharing the performance sheet with the account managers of Hudson and took their feedback to overcome the lags.
