The Asian Apprenticeship Awards was launched in March 2016 to celebrate the talent and diversity of under-represented British Asian Apprentices, their Employers and Training Providers. Apprenticeships have been seen as a secondary route for British Asians with the perception that University is the primary way for leading a successful career. This correlates with the current representation of British Asian apprentices with the starts of 2016/2017 - that being 4.1%. The 2017 awards brought together cross industry and sector leaders from across the country supporting not just the event, but the cause behind it. With over 60% of our audience at C-level or Managerial level, there was a high level of influence in the room - a significant increase from 2016.Our awards fits into a larger discussion around Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) representation within the labour market. There has been a demand for diverse workforces, not just for the local and national demographic representation, but for the economic benefits. For the economy to thrive, diversity is key. Full representation of BAME individuals within workforces across the UK would be worth £24bn per year to the economy.Employers and Training Providers are recognising this and are bringing out initiatives to boost diverse representation.

The Asian Apprenticeship Awards 2016: EVENT BROCHUREThe Pathway Group
The Asian Apprenticeship Awards took place on November 10th 2016, in Birmingham city centre- with the aim to celebrate British Asian apprentices and their employers and training providers.
This brochure provides an detailed outline of the event; including hosts and performers, keynote speakers, and a list of our nominees and delegates (guests in attendance).
The brochure also explains some key facts about apprenticeships in the UK- including statistics, common myths, and the current stance apprenticeship courses have in the Asian community.
Please also find a note from our founder, Safaraz Ali.
The BAME Apprenticeship Awards aims to showcase the range of talent and hard work within the BAME communities which will be made possible with the contribution of employers and learning providers who share these beliefs.
The Asian Apprenticeship Awards has completed its third year in operation since being founded in 2016, and our aim hasn’t changed: to celebrate the talent and diversity of British Asian Apprentices, their Employers and Training Providers.Since inception, we have noticed a significant transition among those within the skills sector about some of the stigmas behind apprenticeships within British Asian and BAME communities generally. Through the support of the Government and key partner organisations, we have been able to use this platform to propel our message into new communities across the country to encourage more people from British Asian communities to consider an apprenticeship route.2018 also saw a sectoral shift response with a 25% increase in involvement from employers compared with training providers and FE colleges which saw a decrease. The male and female split among finalists was quite interesting. Generally, females outweighed males in many of the sectors. However, the gender balance overall was affected by the male dominated sectors of Construction and Engineering & Manufacturing. When speaking with sector leaders, this was no surprise.“It is really disappointing to see the proportion of finalist as 100% male in Construction as well as Engineering and Manufacturing. Whilst recognising that a large proportion of the workforce in these two sectors are male there are still a significant number of females employed and many of these are excellent and well deserving of a place in the finals. We need to encourage them to come forward as entrants and show the skills and talent them possess”- Graham Hasting-EvansPresident of the British Association of Construction HeadsGroup Managing Director NOCNLastly, we saw from our data a significant increase in organisations supporting initiatives locally and nationally to raise the profile of apprenticeships within diverse communities. More people were using the platform of the Asian Apprenticeship Awards to not only encourage more people to enter and celebrate their successes but as a tool to raise awareness of diversity internally.
The first Asian Apprenticeship Awards, took place on November 10th, 2016, in Birmingham city centre.
The event celebrated young Asian apprentices as well the professionals who have trained and employed them.
This report (written by our Project Director, Isa Mutlib) provides an overview of the context and background of the event, the businesses that were in attendance, our trusted judges, and our ambassadors.
We have also included details about our sponsors, companies involved within the event, our survey responses and our social media statistics.
The event was a great success last year, and will be taking place again in 2017.

Top CSR Trends in Saudi Arabia - ReportAli Zeeshan
The popularity of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is growing. In a country like Saudi Arabia, CSR initiatives are driven by strong socio-cultural factors which already promote CSR values. Traditionally seen as a philanthropic practice, most businesses now understand the value it adds to the bottom line.
A recent study done by Informa Middle East, with over 150 CSR experts and professionals, revealed several key CSR trends in the Kingdom. These trends encapsulate the current status and the future potential of the sector in Saudi.
About BAME Apprenticeship Awards
Previously the Asian Apprenticeship Awards, the BAME Apprenticeship Awards aims to showcase talent and diversity within BAME communities through the celebration of those working hard to overcome adversity to achieve their goals through apprenticeships. The awards highlight the achievements of apprentices and the contribution of employers and learning providers who have assisted them along their journey.
Our findings were that several factors contributed to this, some which focussed on apprenticeships themselves and others around diversity. From our research we found that:
Apprenticeships were seen negatively
There was a lack of understanding of apprenticeships
More focus and pressure was being put on going to university
No positive apprentice role models
We used this as the basis for us to set up the Awards because we felt that an Awards would be the most effective means of inspiring excellence and sharing best practice as well as creating more opportunities for those involved.
“I’m delighted to be leading on this event for such a worthwhile cause and for you supporting us in raising awareness and celebrating the achievements of BAME Apprentices.

CMI is strongly supportive of the further education (FE) sector and welcomes Government’s proposals to give it more autonomy and flexibility, and to open up access for a greater number of people. We therefore welcome the widening of FE provision, especially in response to local demand and in collaboration with local and regional employers, but underline the importance of maintaining standards.
CMI and other professional bodies have an important role to play in collaborating with the FE sector and employers to ensure qualifications reflect employers’ needs, meet professional standards, provide professional recognition and provide continuing professional development (CPD) for learners.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Ccompanies across various fields such as
business strategy, manufacturing and supply
chain, sales and marketing, human resources, and so
on. Since a consulting company caters to diverse fields,
it must weather various changes.
A consultancy firm offers a wide variety of services to
its clients. It assists the clients to formulate business
models, reduce costs, predict risks, and innovate
products. It further strengthens their processes for
managing talent, staying compliant, and recruiting staff.
These firms further help their clients to stay ahead in
the competition while adopting digital technologies, or
to adapt to rapidly transforming geopolitical situations.
Hence, no matter how difficult the situations are, a
consulting firm provides its clients with the best
solutions.
However, despite their massive growth, there are many
challenges that the consulting companies are facing.
Nowadays, the clients demand more, push back

greater transparency on costs.
In this innovative and agile business environment,
clients now call for more value, better quality of
service, and faster delivery of solutions. They further
ask for more transparency and accountability in the
delivered services.
Moreover, consultancy firms now no longer enjoy
monopoly on specialized knowledge. Information is
readily available online for those who want to
research. Today, there are many firms in the market,
who offer quality services at reasonable prices.
Another challenge for consultancy firms is
profitability. Clients now have a variety of choice for
services. Hence, they can demand for greater value
and flexibility at lower prices. Moreover, new
consulting firms entering the market create further
competition.
The rapid rise of independent consultants
accelerated by freelance portals are creating further
competition, in turn, reducing the scope of
profitability.
Another factor that consultancy firms lay emphasis
on is the growing complexity of project
environments. They need to provide their best
advice to survive in this complex macro ecosystem.
Since the industry is global in nature, firms must
deliver more projects overseas. This calls for working
with subcontractors, partner companies, and/ or
independent service providers. Moreover, the
consultancy firms have to complete the project
faster, on tighter budgets, while fulfilling the
customers’ requirements.
Consultancy firms must handle numerous
confidential client information. These may include
strategic information and commercial and personal
data. These data are very crucial and can be
damaging if they fall into wrong hands. As a result,
consultancy firms are also major targets for hackers
and data breaches.
The leading consulting companies of India deliver
unmatched services, while paying utmost attention
towards client security and convenience. They leave
no stone unturned to ensure that their clients
receive the best services without delays and hassles.

Facilitating Digital Transformation
Across Various Verticals
ducational assessment plays an integral role in an
Easpirant’s life. A good career assessment makes
candidates mindful of their performance,
knowledgebase, areas of improvement and the job
market as well. On the contrary, it gives educators a
clear picture of the aspirant’s progress, helping them
devise the most suitable approaches to increase
efficiency. The conventional procedure of assessments
focuses on the aspirants' interests, aptitudes, values,
and skills to determine what their real interests are and
where exactly they fit in the job market. However, this
framework often shows equivocal conclusions, and it
becomes a back-breaking task for companies, to churn
out the perfect candidate, with the right skill set.
Technology has been an incremental component, for
the growth of the education industry. Tech-upgrades
namely Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
have helped the arena see new heights, in a short time.
The digital platform has also played a crucial role in
education assessment. During recruitment, companies
tend to find candidates with, the perfect blend of skills
and education. However, the prevalent framework
makes it a huge challenge to identify the right candidate
in the crowd.
This calls for a specialist such as Skynet Experts.

19. he current pandemic has impacted the large
Teconomies globally. However, some organizations
have a strong belief that it is always easy and good
to write on a clean slate rather than trying to fill the spaces
left on a filled slate. There is always a possibility to grow
from zero with more clarity and focused vision. Obstacles
are always there when one is doing good or not doing good.
But the major obstacle is the changing paradigm and now
this is the time when one must bring the paradigm shift to
start doing the business the way they want. One pandemic
is passing by and others may come, but life must go on and
one must be open to explore the opportunities either in front
of them or one can search it in the area one desires.
Ensuring the hygiene levels has always remained an area of
importance in our working and life, the only thing is that
this pandemic has taught all of us about hygiene and safety
procedures to be maintained at all levels.
Since ancient times and ages, there have been advices all
the times, about various safety procedures should be
adopted, now same has been reinforced scientifically.
One company with a similar belief in starting afresh is

23. he Indian economy even
Twithout the Covid-19 driven
pandemic was not in its
pinkest of state. What the latter did
was to push it over the brink. What
we now see these days is the case of
a free fall with no end to the
precipice. It was predicted that with
the pandemic’s effects tapering off
towards the end of the year (due to
the likely though not-so-well-
documented case of heard immunity)
2020 and the emergence of the
vaccines by mid-2021, things could
finally see the end of the free fall.
An economy of the size of India due
to its sheer complexity brought about
by the societal differences and
divergence is not an easy place to set
right given that it takes time which
not many have, and the complete
opacity in knowing where it shall
finally end. That said, a few trends
and indications have started to
emerge which while showing the
direction we are headed to, also
indicate the challenges Indian
Industry faces in the coming years.
Consultancy always had a special
place in India for various reasons,
including the recent availability of
good-quality consultants in myriad
fields and sectors. Another thing in
India that supports consultancy is
competition that has made time to
market shorter and more incisive.
Industry, industrialists, and
entrepreneurs have to be there, and
be there FAST. The only way to do
so is to be consulted by those with
the right knowledge and experiences.
With so much at stake, the pandemic
did come about like a proverbial
tsunami wave that all but washed off
everything in its path. What it did
leave behind are challenges and more
challenges given the sheer quantum
of changes it wrought on humanity
and the way we exist in almost every
walk of life.
Challenge # 1: Getting accustomed
to technology in the field of
consulting
Consulting was all about meeting
people, finding information, looking
for trends and prescribing remedial
measures. With social distancing
being the norm, this could be the first
casualty. Thankfully, technology is
stepped in, and done things
wonderfully with online meeting,
work-related applications, and the
cloud having taken away the need to
meet in person. But if you think it’s
nice and cosy, ask someone who isn’t
tech-savvy what it feels like to be
there in front of a computer not
knowing what to do when the
broadband is down or slow. And slow
things have gone ever since folks
shifted home to stay and work
permanently. Even the best of
consultants in the field may find
technology tough to decipher and use
daily, more so if it isn’t directly
related to their area of work.
Challenge # 2: Getting accustomed
to newer fields where one can
consult
Let’s take an example to make the
point. There was a time when HR
consultancy was one of the biggest in
India. They were also myriad forms
Consulting Challenges
January 2021
21
24. of into training be it technical or non-technical. You want
folks to be trained, you went to the HR consultants who
would arrange for the right training. This cosy
arrangement continued for decades. Until Covid-19.
With everyone running for cover, it was time for systems
to take over where humans left. Today the field of
training is entirely in the hands of ready-made L D
platforms where one can upload their needs and the
system suggests formats of training that are standardized,
certain, cost-effective and very comprehensive without
the ills of human-led interventions. Where does the
consultant go from here? Not far really.
Challenge # 3: Leaner organization structures- at
both ends
A couple of years back consultancies and clients were
organizations everyone could recognize. Staffed,
groomed and outfitted with the right budgets, they had as
their clients organizations equally well staffed, groomed
and with the right budgets. With the economy looking
south, both have changed, and in most cases drastically.
Leaner organizations, sometimes
single-man operations are the
consultants of the day who provide
services in most cases to small
organizations and start-ups who
remain tight nosed and tighter on the
budgets.
Challenge # 4: Indian entrepreneurial scene
The single biggest change that the Covid-19 pandemic
has brought is in the entrepreneurial scene.
Organizations, even bigger ones have wilted in their size,
scope and outlook and now look for plausible
opportunities that can be easily achieved to sustain. That
being the case, consultancies are under pressure to
perform and bring solutions that perform from the word
‘go’. Be it HR or Digital Marketing or even production,
people who take assistance from consultants has cut
short the lead time very drastically and want measurable
results almost immediately.
Challenge # 5: What is there to offer
With reputed consultants and specialists, themselves
either without work or with drastically reduced work, the
scope of what they have to offer too has undergone a
change. The concept of a single specialization has taken
a hit. Consultants in the post Covid-19 days may have to
have several specializations to survive. Take the case of
Digital Marketing. Gone are the
days of digital marketer + graphic
designer + content writer + social

30. ombining expertise in technology and digital
Cmarketing, specific domain experience, and passion
for excellence to deliver enterprise-grade solutions
to all its clients, a company named Grandiose Digital
Media was incepted in the year 2019. GDM is a PR
platform that assists people and businesses to grow their
reach and build contacts. The company mainly focuses on
storytelling which then helps the customers to engage on
whichever platform suits best for their needs. This means
that the company breaks through the traditional service
lines to integrate with the social, digital, content,
publishing, advertising, PR, corporate reputation, and
public affairs into the required solutions.
A curious mind behind the inception of the company is its
Founder and CEO, Mohammed Huzaifa. He focuses on
complying with the clients’ needs to help them achieve their
goals and objectives. Alongside this, he makes sure that the
employees give priority to the clients and their needs.
Utilizing his experiences and expertise, he understands that
customers are always keen on looking for various options
and only settle for the best. Acknowledging the fact, he
says, “The customer will have already visited many
advertising and PR firms before coming to Grandiose
Digital Media and hence the employees are trained to make
sure that they are persuasive to the client.”
The people working in GDM ensures that the clients are
convinced accordingly. Also, the services agreed to the
clients should satisfy all their needs. According to him, the
most important challenge to the company and other digital
marketing firms is the development of this business
worldwide. Let us find out how he is doing things
differently through the below given rapid fire round:
What are the prominent services that your company
offers, that make you stand out from the competition?
Mohammed: Grandiose Digital Media offers a wide range
of services which are assisting in driving the clients’
business towards success. The elite firm leverages high-
class tools to provide innovation and creativity. Likewise, it
also offers world-class marketing services and deploys such
mechanisms to enhance the productivity of its customers’
business. These wide-ranging bouquets of services include
PR for the influencers, Branded Content, Communications
Planning, Content Creation, Content Marketing, Corporate
Communications, Digital Marketing, and Marketing
Services. Along with this, it also excels in providing
Organic Social Media, Public Affairs, Public Relations,
Strategy and Consulting, and Mobile App Development.
Taking into consideration, the current pandemic, and its
impact on global economies, how are you driving your
organization to enhance operations and ensuring safety
of your employees at the same time?
Mohammed: Being in the persuasion business, Grandiose
Digital Media has faced several challenging situations and
it has overcome them to be placed as one of the leading
marketing firms. Since the pandemic, the global market
witnessed a slowdown in several businesses, the adverse
effect was also seen in the PR and media industry. COVID-
19 has shifted the marketing business from an offline mode
to an online mode along with the communication. Due to
the pandemic, the product launches and other promotional
or media events where PR teams play an important role are
also impacted.
Consequently, as the clients have put their PR relations on
hold, the company was facing a stagnant situation and the
experts were uncertain whether the situation will get back
to normal. However, Grandiose Digital Media has
overcome all these obstacles by shifting its services to a
virtual platform. As the number of influencers is rising
GDM helps these influencers in achieving what they desire
by proving the presence of these influencers online. The

One such change was in its hiring approach,
where it gave preference to freelancers who
can work from home at the ease of their
comfort.
What would be your advice to the
emerging entrepreneurs aspiring to enter
the consulting services sector?
Mohammed: Predicting these difficult times
can be a little tricky. However, observing the
current development happening globally, the
world is surely adapting to these changes
rapidly. The reaction and action of audiences
have changed. So, the strategy for the future
has been altered according to the market
needs and audiences’ tastes.
So, for the emerging entrepreneurs, I would
just like to say that it’s a difficult task and
you need to be very thoroughly prepared to
face the risks before entering into this field.
Where do you envision your organization
to be in the long run and what are your
future goals?
Mohammed: Well, Grandiose Digital Media
is expected to bring a lot more services and
we hope that we will be able to connect with
more people. Our future goal is to make
people understand the value of PR and
technologies and how they can use them to
bring a change in their business and their
daily lives.
What are your views on the current
landscape of the consulting services
market?
Mohammed: Consulting services market is
said to gain much more importance in the
coming days because of the increasing
dependency on effective communication
amongst the customers. Keeping all these
changes in mind, Grandiose Digital Media is
working on a SaaS platform which will
eventually become easier for the PR clients
as it makes it easier to work online and
handle the PR tasks.

CIO Team: Taking into consideration, the current

and ensuring safety of your employees at the same time?
CM: Across the organization, our employees are working
remotely from their homes and have risen to the challenges
that were put in front of us and we have continued to
operate in a successful manner. We have worked as a
cohesive team and continue to provide world-class
customer service to our clients. Our quality, internal
control and the robustness of our processes have been
validated and certified by external certifications, such as
ISO27001, SSAE18/Soc1 Type 2, and HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of the United
States of America). We are also certified as a Microsoft
Gold partner for our technical support business. It is worth
mentioning that the current pandemic has helped our
business by accelerating its growth.
As 100% of our employees are working from home
seamlessly for over 9 months now, we find them more
efficient and productive. Since there is no need to travel to
and from the office every day, they have more time at their
disposal to spend with their family which is making them
happier. We are seriously considering letting most of our
employees continue to work from home even when the
current pandemic is over.

entrepreneurs aspiring to enter the consulting services
sector?

36. CM: Gain speed, efficiency and intelligence with innovative
tools and outperform with the tech advantage. Today
technology is embedded into every aspect of our lives.
However, in the face of so much change, the right choice
can be overwhelming to many businesses. Offer clients
easy, adaptable, and agile technology tools to give them
more to go on to maximize the one vital need in every
business - more time for them to focus on more strategic
work.
Have solid processes supported by the right technology in
place - this is imperative to expedite goals, workflows, and
efficiencies. We understand that and have been working
continuously to find new ways to bring our customers
added value in this digital world.
CIO Team: Where do you envision your organization to
be in the long run and what are your future goals?
CM: Our vision is to grow this company many folds in a
short period of time. We will also be actively pursuing an
inorganic growth strategy for embarking on our growth
journey. Earlier this year, we successfully completed an
acquisition of a Chicago, IL based financial services
company for our non-profit vertical and are always looking
for more acquisition opportunities to achieve our objective
of making Quatrro a leading provider of tech-enabled back
office services.
In our endeavor to continuously add value to our clients, we
keep investing in upgrading our technology and tools. We
have our own proprietary tool, QPort and cutting-edge
Business Intelligence (BI) tool that provide our clients with
greater insights and information to pair with our world-class
service.
This tool enables our clients to have as much, or as little,
control and involvement as they choose to have in the
processes, they have outsourced to us. Our QPort is a CRM
and automated accounts payable (AP) workflow tool that
not only automates the AP approval process but also
provides financial statement drill-down functionality to
transaction level detail, including image of invoices.
Our BI tool provides complete real-time, actionable insight
into the financial performance of the business through CFO
dashboard, analytics, charts, and graphs at the click of a
button. We are making our technology mobile friendly and
platform agnostic so that it can work with any ERP and
accounting platform, be it Microsoft Dynamics, Great
Plains, SAP, NetSuite, or Sage.
As we have been working with more private equity firms
over the last year by providing outsourced accounting
service for their portfolio companies, we have heard
repeatedly about a pain point for these groups where they
are spending an extraordinary amount of time on building
financial models in Excel – and even those still are not
completely meeting all of their needs. So, we have created a
very comprehensive, dynamic financial modeling tool that
these firms can use for evaluating potential
investments/acquisitions.
They can run various sensitivities and do scenario planning
through our proprietary financial modeling tool. We are also
building out our capabilities to prepare financial statements
for public companies including preparing 10-Q and 10-K.
On the Technical Support side of our business, we have
invested heavily in upgrading our IT infrastructure and
purchasing the latest technology tools, such as Zendesk
omni channel ticketing platform and Cisco UCCX omni
channel platform to strength our capabilities in technical
support help desk.
We are also coming out with a new multi-talented cloud-
based platform that provides a single pane of glass
dashboard access to teams/individuals sitting at different
levels and locations within an organization to monitor and
manage multiple cloud services such as networking,
security, security cameras, collaboration tools, EMR
systems, etc. from a single dashboard. It also provides
single sign-on access for the users to connect with multiple
cloud services dashboards using the same access
credentials.
With our ‘value driven’
strategy, Quatrro is
recognized as one of the
leading suppliers of
cloud-based business
services to large
enterprises and the
middle market

38. lot of companies are moving most of its activities
Afrom offline to online (physical to digital), this will
be a huge opportunity for consultants, as
organisations will be ready to spend more on digital
projects. Consultants who can help organisations in
digitization and cost cutting will always be in demand.
The Covid-19 pandemic had hit consulting industry hard in
the first quarter of 2019 financial year, but employers are
back with their hiring plans and started hiring for key roles.
Some organisations are looking to cut costs whereas others
expanding/creating new roles. The situation had led to
cautious hiring and created an opportunity for new roles in
the organisations.
With the new hiring strategy in place, all recruitment and
onboarding activities are virtual, this means you will not
meet any candidate personally and no human connect while
onboarding. This is presenting organisations with new
challenges, but as the acceptance is from both sides it has
become quite easier to handle.
As we may not be able to meet anyone personally and will
have to assess a candidate virtually, Psychometric
assessment will be even more essential in hiring process.
Managing stress, collaborative workstyle, and social
engagement (virtually) will be key attributes to look for
during hiring process.
Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence will drive
most activities in consulting industry as well. This may
result in automation, increase in quality of service, quick
turnaround, transparency, wider market reach and surely
will reduce biases.
With physical presence being out of question, this will also
give organisations an opportunity to work partners globally
resulting in some cost saving. The future landscape is
unpredictable, but it is time we take some space to think
through and put our energies to expand to new markets,
look at improving business models and look at value driven
pricing models.
The new model could be ‘Synergy for Success’ between two
organisations in similar business to create a more effective
business model with wider reach. The emphasis on diversity
and inclusion remains focus for most organisations globally.
“We see a surge in focused diversity hiring for few roles,”
says Prasad Tataverty, Founder and Director of
Renascence Talent Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The industry is
very bullish on rebound and expecting the Search
(Headhunting) market to growth at 12% annually at least
from 2022 onwards.
Leveraging Market Insights
The first thing you will notice about Prasad is his confident
demeanour and market knowledge. For someone who is in
the business of placing people, he is completely tuned to the
market and understands client requirements and exigencies
minutely. He understands the value of on-time delivery and
managing client expectations. Prasad is a thorough
professional and is extremely good at what he does. He has
helped me a lot in all HR activities. He can read people like
a book which can be considered as an asset to the company.
Prasad Tataverty and his team has helped a senior sales
leader in North America for an IT MNC to establish a sales
team for the personnel. Prasad and his team were
instrumental in providing excellent hiring experience and

good at his craft and is result oriented. “I’m grateful for
Prasad’s efforts as we continue to grow our business,”
shares the sales leader.
The Coronavirus pandemic had hit the consulting industry
hard, however like any other crises, it has also created
opportunities for organisations who are proactive.
Fortunately, Renascence Talent had been futuristic in its
approach and strategy. Since the beginning, the company
had allowed 90% of its staff to work remotely, thus saving
their time travelling to office. The company did observe a
higher productivity by giving this flexibility and it had
reduced the undue stress of driving/commuting in peak
traffic hours.
Due to the pandemic most of the organisations had to go
back to the drawing board to create new strategy for hiring.
Now that every hiring activity is virtual, it had created huge
opportunity for Renascence’s career portal - The Sales
Talent. “We were working from last few years and are
planning to launch it in early 2021,” shares Prasad.
Prasad’s entrepreneurial journey was not easy, nor is it easy
for anyone who wishes to walk this path. “When you have
faced the problems that you dream to solve, the transference
gets more convincing and your decisions become firm as
you go,” informs Prasad. He started Renascence Talent in
2016, a boutique search firm identifying Thought Leaders
for Fortune 500 companies globally.
The company had a good start and did substantial business
with no employees on board. Though soon enough, the
appetite to hire a team emerged and it started exploring new
markets. At that point, Prasad realized that most
organizations globally were engaging multiple partners to
hire in multiple countries.
Adding to this, the company’s research showed most
organizations are facing huge transformation in sales and
marketing functions. This was the resultant of 70% of
companies’ hiring process which was based on their gut
feeling (basically experience and prevalent behaviour of the
sales professionals). This is leading to professionals failing
to perform.
Human Resources Redefined
Renascence Talent quickly found its niche in global
leadership and sales hiring with its reputation as an astute,
hard-working, knowledgeable, and very well-networked
agency globally. The company currently caters to clients in
APAC, North America, Europe, UK, UAE, and South
America. “Within a short span we had served more than 55
clients globally and have positioned candidates who are
generating incremental revenue of $3mn to $1bn for their
organisations every year,” says the team of Renascence
Talent.
The team has got good recognition. It was nominated for
Business Leaders award by TV5 News Channel in
Telangana.
In 2018, the team was covered by Yourstory for being a
single segment focused organisation in hiring for leadership
and sales roles.
The company has also been rated as the 20 most promising
recruitment firms in 2018 by Silicon India Magazine.
In 2019 and 2020, the company had won APAC Insider
Business Award for contribution in Global Leadership and
Sales Hiring.
Renascence Talent has been awarded the Best Recruitment
Firm – Senior Management roles by World HRD Congress
in 2019.
“We are on the way to become a leading search firm from
India and the first to launch an exclusive career portal for
sales professionals in India,” states Prasad and his team at
Renascence Talent. With Covid19 in picture most
companies are relying on virtual hiring and The Sales
Talent career portal will help them hire astute sales
professionals using the company’s AI technology. This will
save huge cost for clients and will open a new revenue
stream for Renascence Talent.
