Highlights regarding implementations in 2016: We focused on application performance and optimization and have achieved commendable milestones. A process which normally use to take anything starting from 14-20 days is now being closed in just 2-4 days. We have also achieve higher accuracy levels.
Plans for 2017 from technology and projects’ point of view: Our next big task was to address data security and we have already stared reaching to our milestones. In fact I have recently been nominated for one of the very prestigious CISO award. We are handling over millions candidates data in real time and we are supposed to be delivering 100% full proof system without making our users life difficult. We don’t have the option for bad, good and best, we are just NO or YES, it is completely binary. In addition we are also answerable to the highest and toughest IT committee members, who are specially deputed to audit the compliance and security aspect.
Success mantra: “Believe and nurture your team to start becoming responsible”. As a leader, i can’t succeed until i can make my team also understand my goals. I believe in giving freedom with responsibilities and it has always worked. Our work requirement needs 24 alertness and it is always a high pressure job. It is only my approach which is helping me in keeping such balance and I am not being forced to moderate anyone. My team understands the requirements and they always take it as responsibility.
