As Albert Einstein says: “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious”
When passion and curiosity intersect, innovation is born. To innovate is to emerge, and to emerge is to proliferate! That is how today’s generation works and functions. The diligence in work and determination for creativity is the bedrock for innovation.
Having a similar thought process as Einstein, there is one person passionately curious to learn new things, Hema K – Co-founder & Director, DimenZion3 Global Solutions Pvt Ltd. DimenZion3 was established with the vision of making the world a fair place to work. She likes to meet new people and be a part of positive change in their lives, thus also achieving the goals of DimenZion3. “My goal is to put DimenZion3 on the global map,” she claims. One of her goals remains to consolidate global presence and have delible footprints in countries like the U.S, Australia, Singapore, the U.K, and the U.A.E to provide holistic global diversity and inclusion.
Hema is a business management professional with about 22 years of experience. “I started my career in sales and later moved to customer service,” she tells. She started her journey in HR 15 years ago where she worked in talent acquisition and core operations. Some of the industries she has worked for are Hospitality, ITES, Manufacturing, and Consulting. “I set higher goals each time and working to achieving them is my biggest motivational tool,” shares Hema. Women like Kiran Majumdar and Indra Nooyi inspire her as they have shown the path which she can follow and travel. Reading books about other successful people, and how they influence other people, along with thinking about how she can incorporate their ways inspires Hema a lot. “Personally, I am a great fan of Sudha Murthy, Infosys Foundation,” describes Hema. Sudha Murthy was a professor in her college who inspired her a lot.
Hema started the company in 2012 as an HR consulting and training company. “We were fortunate enough to get good brands to work with,” she adds. Their work quality paid off great dividends resulting in continued client referrals. By 2014, DimenZion3 transformed into a leading Diversity and Inclusion consulting organization. And by 2017, they had started offering innovative theatre-based offerings through their brand Tiatr-O! and produced the first theatrical play ‘BLACK WHITE AND LIFE IN BETWEEN’ for corporate audience.
“We used theatre as a medium to train close to 1700 sales professionals from the Automobile industry in 2018!” exclaims Hema.
Whether one is an experienced entrepreneur or just starting, there are a host of challenges every day like building a brand and constantly innovating to keep the competitors off the market. In such conditions ensuring that the business remains profitable is a challenge. When the clients are looking for big brands to work with, convincing them how DimenZion3 can help them better by offering customized solutions to address their core issues is of utmost importance to Hema.
Tackling Adversities
Even after so many years of experience, hiring the right team member for a start-up is a challenging and daunting task. “It’s not that easy to find the right talent and we need to keep in mind their cost, cultural fit and competency to be a part of the team,” addresses Hema. This becomes exceptionally hard when the company goes under the pressure of filling those positions as soon as possible. The world is becoming more complex and diverse. There are greater number of women and Gen Y employees in the workforce nowadays. Technology is also changing and upgrading at a fast pace. Therefore, clients require quick access to data, technology-based solutions, and innovative offerings. Gone are the days when day-long instructor-led training programs were the norms. The attention span is decreasing and there is a need for innovative solutions.
