Kelsa believes in measuring what they do and hence provides their clients with metrics to measure the impact of their work
Established in March 2010, Kelsa Management Solutions started with a mission to cater to the needs of small and medium-sized corporations to manage their people requirements who, are on the threshold of growth. The company co-founded by K. Sridhar, R. Shantaram and Devika Dharmaraj is augmenting its vision of being a unique solution provider by establishing their frameworks for Organization and Leadership Development and Employee Engagement. During the last eleven years of its journey, Kelsa has matured into an organization that not only provides niche HR solutions but has also used its expertise to build an HR Academy. Going That Extra Mile! They have partnered with more than 200 clients through a vast spectrum of industries. Kelsa’s clients are of all sizes and varieties; from small, promoter-led firms and start-ups to medium to large, diversified MNCs. Kelsa has delivered solutions which are tailor-made to the requirements of the customers across the entire HR life cycle in an organization. Kelsa’s partners also take on the role of Independent Directors on Boards of companies to help them formulate their people strategies at the Board level. The asymmetric expectations concerning strategy and execution imposes a tremendous burden on HR professionals which, seems to be the prime reason why small and medium-sized organizations have a hard time not only finding top HR talents in the industry but also retaining them. Kelsa perceived this as an opportunity and addressed the problem by aligning the business vision of the customer firms with the HR strategy in the SME space. Its ultimate goal is to help transform the HR role to being Business Partners who advise organizations on their strategies.
