Dilip Sinha

Director HR- JSW Steel

While re architecting our organization in South Asia I had the pleasure of working with the Propella team to source candidates for several key leadership roles. I had little experience recruiting senior talent in APAC and interviewed a few consulting firms, including some of the largest recruiting operations in the world. What distinguished Propella from the rest was the unique level of insight and deep relationship portfolio Manish brings to the process in our industry vertical. Working with Propella as a key partner in our talent acquisition program accelerated our ability to place the best people from the market in strategic roles in a way that aligned the experience and potential of candidates with the cultural values and business plan of our organization. Our engagement with Propella enabled a new era of growth and maturity in the region and I can wholeheartedly endorse Propella as a key human resources partner.

Consultants at Propella gain a very thorough understanding of the mandates prior to commencing their assignments. They also have a great sense of our company’s culture and are hence very capable in providing us with their advice which we take seriously in the decision making process. Most of our recent senior management hiring has been done through Propella Consulting Group. We would definitely recommend Propella to other FMCG companies for their hiring needs.

Director - Society Tea

Propella approached me with an opportunity at a time when I wasn’t actively seeking a change. Initially, I had limited knowledge about the organization. However, in retrospect, it turned out to be a wise decision. Propella’s comprehensive understanding of the organization, along with his ability to highlight the reasons I should consider the position and the key factors for my success in securing the job, significantly influenced my decision. Additionally, the team’s excellent coordination between myself and the company, coupled with their proactive approach, proved to be immensely valuable throughout the process.

Propella Consulting Group, Headed by Mr. Manish Ballani is by the far the most impressive consulting company I have dealt with. They have been professional and very thorough throughout the whole process consistently. All the allocated consultants were very approachable, professional and proactive. All consultants at Propella understand the mandates perfectly prior to commencing their search and ensure they find us the best fit. We are really impressed by Propella’s friendly yet dedicated approach. We have already recommended Propella to our clients for their manpower requirements and will continue to do so. And finally a great big THANK YOU to Propella on behalf of our team.

Shweta Kadkare

Manager HR – Future Group

Manish Ballani from Propella had approached us a time when we were looking to hire some extremely important senior management roles at NBSS which is a JV between Nilkamal, a large Indian organisation and BITO its German counterpart. It can get slightly tricky to understand the cultural perspective whilst providing the right candidates. We were unable to identify the appropriate candidate for a while until Propella came into the picture and made it quite easy for us. Their processes are extremely thorough and not often are you put in a dilemma during the decision making process wherein you like more than 1 candidate and find it difficult to make a decision. It is a good position to be in as an employer. I wish Propella all the best.

Rupesh Kohli

Head AFR Operations - DHL Logistics

Propella’s USP is the quality of consultants that it recruits and the way they constantly skill them to understand businesses, manage stakeholders and approach headhunting as a process.

They go out of their way to partner with their clients and make every penny spent on recruiting through Propella, worth the same by mapping the business needs to the candidate profiles and advising clients on the best fit in terms of the skills available. I worked with them to source against some niche skills and it was a pleasure to see the consultants taking an effort to understand businesses and source sharp profiles matching the needs.
It is a pleasure working with this dynamic and vibrant team.
