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.

Amit Singh

Head HR – Asia & Japan - DHL

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.

Karan Shah

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.
