Senior HR Manager

Surya Sivaram is the HR Manager and has about 15 years of experience in the HR profession. She has been inspiring everyone with her excellent work and developed herself to support all HR functions and business units. A decade and a half ago, I snubbed my nose at making electrical transformers. My transition from an Electrical Engineer to HR happened in 2006 as I got married and relocated to Bangalore and ended up joining a US-based e-publishing company as HR executive.
Way back in 2011, I got an opportunity to join Tecnotree as a recruiter on a temporary role. I soon progressed into a Lead Recruiter role, and then HR Business Partner and Learning & Development.
I’ve experienced a fast journey over the last ten years, and I feel lucky to have such an all-round involvement in the HR function. I always admire the support that each employee receives from the company, the learning at work – that helps them develop their career.
The driving factor in my career has been a passion for my work and positive work culture at Tecnotree. With each passing year, I realize how fantastic the company is – inspiring and motivating me to work with passion and providing me with great learning opportunities
There has been massive turn-around of results in the last 18 months and while shifting gears, we have put our values at the forefront of what we do. In my leisure time, I love spending time with my son and cooking authentic Kerala dishes, this is inherited from my mother. If not HR, what you would have been doing?
I would have done what I was doing before I joined HR - Teaching. The responsibility of an HR is a superset of that of a teacher.
