“I have always wanted to live above my means because it inspired me to work harder” ~ said Robert Kiyosaki. Precisely living every word Robert said is GeetaLachireddy (Co-Founder, AscentHR). Inspired by her father for the commitment, dedication and hard work through which he built a promising business ensuring employee satisfaction for more than 30 years, made Geeta take her leap as an entrepreneur. “While I was doing my schooling, I visited Tata’s steel plant to witness a whole city built for Tata employees. I wondered how much an entrepreneur is capable of giving back to the society,” Geeta reminisces. In turn, while incepting her organization – AscentHR at the age of 26, Geeta believed in giving back to the society by creating opportunities. Shift to the present, being one of the best Indian MNC’s providing HR Automation & Outsourcing services, AscentHR comprises of a 500+ strong workforce (while the ‘AscentHRGroup’ comprises of around 3000 staffs) that encrust across 27 countries (including 40 locations within India).

Fulfilling the Commitments
“It is a proud moment for being able to create job opportunities to candidates from tier-2 and tier-3 cities.Providing best in class training to mold them into thought leaders of tomorrow” avers Geeta. As a
professional who intends to produce a genuine revamp in the outsourcing industry, Geeta never compromises on the quality of solutions delivered by AscentHR, and she perceives it as a matter of establishing a trustable & quality Indian brand. Thus, while many other organizations cater to clients with vanilla solutions and never take the predominant challenges out of an HR department, Geeta on-boards a partnership approach with them, empowering client with HR consulting, automation and back office management, ensuring client focus on strategic HR management.

Geeta, an industry recognized, Chartered accountant and cost accountant focused on creating opportunities than being a lone beneficiary. In addition, managing her employees without a business management background was also a challenge. “Despite an entire gamut of challenges I had to face, the first five years of my AscentHR journey engendered the best epoch in my life. The whole team was extremely close to each other & always wanted to on-board the most challenging tasks, and as a result, today we are best-known for the exceptional quality we possess in our deliverables. We never deliver 99.99 percent, but make sure it is always 100 percent,” adjoins Geeta.
