Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Philip Mothi: I have been working for Corporates specifically in the IT sector for around 20 years . I have seen great learnings in the functions I was handling like the HR Consulting, Talent Acquisition, Trainings & workforce management. So after 20 years of corporate I had my inner feeling that I should start something of my own , I had a feeling that I should move away from the comfort zone & get into business. Since I have also been able to connect with people & their problems , it will be more appropriate to give it a more of business /entrepreneurship for taking those ideas, concept into a new dimensions. Work closely with the client & customize their services accordingly.
