Renu Gulraj: A Trailblazing Leader Challenging The Norms To Mark New Milestones
Renu Gulraj
Co-Founder & Chief Strategist
Can you provide a brief overview of your professional background and experiences? What drives you in your daily work?
After completing my postgraduate degree in Management, I gained valuable experience in the Human Resources department at Zenith Computers, a technology products company. In 2005, I founded Easy Source, specializing in Manpower Outsourcing, and offering services such as Payroll Outsourcing, Managed Services, and PEO (Professional Employer Organizational) Services. My motivation stems from multiple sources. Firstly, I have an inherent drive to continuously learn and grow both personally and professionally. Secondly, the fulfillment of making a positive impact and contributing to a greater cause inspires me. Whether through small contributions or significant achievements, knowing that my work can benefit others drives me to perform at my best. Breaking down larger objectives into manageable steps gives me a sense of progress and fulfillment, further fueling my motivation. Lastly, I prioritize maintaining a healthy work life balance as an integral part of my work approach.
With a wealth of experience spanning three decades, could you elaborate on your journey to success and share your mantra for achieving it?
When it comes to my success mantra, I firmly believe in the power of adapt ability and embracing life long learning. In a world that is constantly evolving, those who can readily adapt, remain open to change and learn from both triumphs and setbacks often find
success. By cultivating a growth mindset and being flexible in my approach, I have effectively navigated challenges and seized emerging opportunities.
Ultimately, my path to success has been shaped by a combination of continuous learning, a strong work ethic, effective communication, and adaptability. These guiding principles have played a pivotal role in my career, leading to personal and professional accomplishments.
