address their employees’ experience,
from the front line to the corner office,
it improves their quality of life and
builds mutual trust and loyalty. He righty
asserts, “We encourage employees to grow
personally and professionally. In addition
to the growth within a specific business
vertical, we also support lateral movement
if desired by the employee. While this
helps the employee develop more than one
business skill, it also provides the company
with fresh insights from the employees.”
He further adds, “Every employee is free
to approach their respective business
heads directly and in some cases even me
if required.”
Completely understanding the
significance of overall wellbeing of the
employees, he describes, “At AGSTTL we
lay great emphasis on work-life balance
as well as employee friendly policies and
initiatives such as day-to-day health &
fitness, medical policies and health camps
to encourage a healthy mind and body.”
Radiating Optimism
An innate optimist, Ravi believes that every
challenge is an opportunity to perform
with renewed vigour. He is of the view
that “Opportunities and growth go hand
in hand. Businesses are formed when you
are willing to explore an opportunity at
the right time. And great businesses are
formed when you are willing to take risks
associated with that opportunity at any
given point of time. I firmly believe that
technology has the power to transform
every sector and industry and for doing so,
I have never hesitated in taking ‘calculated
risks’ to explore new business ideas and
stay ahead of the curve.”
His advice for young, upcoming leaders is
to be dedicated, diligent and preserve their
integrity in all situations. He emphasizes,
“To all youngsters moving away from
their comfort zone to build their own
businesses; my advice to you is to have a
vision, to believe in a value system and to
never compromise on hard work.”
He adds, “No two individuals are
identical, their educational qualification can
be the same but their attitude, experience,
adaptability, communication and soft skills
will vary.” When given a chance to select
an employee among two equally-qualified
candidates, he would select the candidate
on the afore stated factors. Stressing upon
the significance of ethics in business, he
asserts, “Honesty and hard work are the
virtues of AGS Group. I hope the company
will continue to grow by leaps and bounds
while keeping its legacy intact.”
