Appaseheb R. Narasannavar

Associate Director | HSO India

"I have got some amazing people on my team, I have been working with my core team for a long time now."

Lot of opportunities to showcase

I joined when HSO acquired SA Global, where I had been for 15 years managing the IP product team from India. The transition has been smooth, and I feel like I am part of a global team interacting with the US, UK, and Europe regularly.

The leadership in India provides a lot of opportunities to showcase what I can bring, and I am very happy with how that works and how we are all working. I was nominated because a lot of people think that my management style is different. But if you ask me, I will say that I always try to keep things simple.

Build mutual respect

Also, I have been lucky in the sense that I have got some amazing people on my team, I have been working with my core team for a long time now, so we understand each other very well and that helps in turning around things when chips are down. So all the credit for our success over the years goes straight to the entire team.

Another philosophy which kind of helps in managing people is I don’t treat people like team members I treat them like my friends (no matter what age they are) and that’s the culture I like to work with. I try to build mutual respect amongst all of us and keep it simple.
