Our Testimonials

I know Sriram since early 2010 as he was instrumental in placing me at Alliance Tire Group (ATG), now known as Yokohoma-ATG. Since then, our interactions have been very fulfilling and enriching as friends and professionals. We have also been colleagues at ATG for a brief period, where SrIRam established the entire HR and Talent Management processes. He helped the Organisation identify key talent gaps and sourced the right candidates to fill these gaps.

SriRam is a rare HR professional who has exhibited both strategic and execution focus at the same time. He worked collaboratively with all the Senior Management to not only hire the right talent, but also build the right Culture and HR processes. He is very well networked in the Industry and his understanding of Business and the talent requirements is an unique skill that help Organisations in building the right team.

I strongly recommend Fructus Consultants, led by SriRam, to any organization looking to build the right Team, Culture, and HR processes.

I wish SriRam and Fructus Consultants all the success.

Ex-CIO Yokohoma ATG

I have known Sriram from 2005 when he was heading HR in Mahindra International. Over the years we have been associated at AMW and ATG Tyres (now Yokohama Tyres)and I have had the opportunity to work with him for senior level talent hiring and HR. I specifically recall Sriram had helped recruit the senior management team across functions while at Mahindra Trucks and later at ATG ( now Y-ATG) . I found him to be responsive, approachable and knowledgeable. The fact that he had an automotive background also helped as he could grasp the nuances of the position. I wish him and Fructus Consultants all the best!

Mr Sriram Padmanaban and I worked in MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA in the Corporate Office in Mumbai in the Bus and Truck division which is today Mahindra Trucks India. I was heading Customer Care/After-Sales/Service functions while Mr Sriram Padmanaban was HOD – HR & Admin. We worked together in building the new JV of Mahindra & Navistar International Ltd from grassroots to a full fledged organisation. Mr Sriram was very supportive to me and my department and other department heads during my tenure. I enjoyed working with him towards achieving various organisation goals which included team building Pan-India across levels, defining Job roles and responsibilities,Goal-Setting inline with company goals & objectives, drawing up Contingency plans, defining objective KPAs and performance parameters with corresponding variable incentive levels in a transparent manner, conducting objective and transparent Quarterly reviews and finally arranging specific training interventions after assessments

I wish Mr.Sriram and Fructus Consultants all the best!

I have known Sriram from 2008 when I was Special Director-HR in Ashok Leyland and over the years I have had the opportunity to work with him for senior level talent hiring especially for the then newly launched JV with an American Farm Equipment major and Sriram had helped recruit the senior management team in Marketing and Sales. I found him responsive, approachable and knowledgeable. Given his industry background he could grasp the intricacies of the role and add value to the search. I wish him and Fructus Consultants all the best!

Formerly Special Director - HR

I had the pleasure of working with Sriram since 2007 when I was leading HR for an Automobile Manufacturing Company, AMW promoted by the ESSAR Group. During our time together, he played a crucial role in several executive search assignments, successfully placing senior leaders, including the Head of Marketing and the Director of Strategic Sourcing. Sriram's extensive experience in large manufacturing and service organizations sets him apart. He has a remarkable ability to understand business needs and deliver flexible solutions. His strong industry connections and growth mindset make him an asset to any team. It’s been a good experience collaborating with Sriram and his team at Fructus Consultants. Wishing them continued success!
