India has emerged as the fastest growing economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in coming years, backed by its strong democracy and partnership. Numerous foreign countries are setting up their facilities in India on account of various government initiatives like Make in India and Digital India.
Yasasve HR Consulting Services was established in 2011, by Mrs. Meghana Narsimha and Mrs. Anitha. Their charisma, upbeat nature and passion towards their work, have been the major driving forces behind Yasasve’s success. Meghana is the Managing Partner of the firm, and handles the recruitment sector. Her responsibilities include developing and executing the company’s business strategies in order to attain both the short-term and long-term goals. She also overlooks the company’s financial performance, investments and other business ventures.
On the other hand, Anitha takes care of the skill development and women empowerment training projects. The prime objective of this skill development project is the creation of self-employment and empowerment for women; the firm specifically targets rural women so as to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in them. Meghana believes that the firm is now ready to expand its recruitment globally, and has already begun talks with some of the US clients.
Meghana is a self-driven and a confident person and has always been motivated by her passion to be a great leader. She has received various awards and appreciations, to name a few:

WEI is an initiative that educates, trains, supports and motivates women entrepreneurs all over India, through innovative business ideas, startup funding avenues, marketing support and mentor connects.
Story behind the Passionate Entrepreneur
Born to a family of doctors, Meghana’s parents always wished their daughter would follow their footsteps and become a doctor. In spite of this, she always looked up, upon her dream to become a successful entrepreneur. She has completed her MPhil in Management, and MBA in HR & Management. After working in recruitment industry for six years, she decided to start up her own firm in recruitment space and became an entrepreneur.
Anitha and Meghana have been friends for over a decade and have taken their friendship to the next level by setting up this firm. Their zeal, vision to achieve big, and make their dreams come true, led them to establish Yasasve. Anitha, having worked for NIRD, Hyderabad, has handled projects like PMKVY, Skills Training, and Roshini. She has also worked with NGO’s, of the state and central government projects; this experience is of utmost importance for the firm.
“Dare to dream”
“Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader”—Indra Nooyi
Meghana believes in and looks up to Indra Nooyi, who is her role model. Her speeches have always inspired and motivated Meghana to achieve big, in her venture. Even though the firm lacks a mentor, their determination, hard work and trust has helped them develop and fight against all odds.
Every successful entrepreneur was a budding and struggling entrepreneur once. It’s the determination and dedication to achieve big that has made them successful today. Addressing young and budding entrepreneurs Meghana says, “Being a great business leader takes a lot of sacrifice, strong discipline, focus, innovation, confidence, passion towards work, and work-life balance.”
Learning from ones failures and moving forward against all odds, is what makes a great leader and entrepreneur. Meghana believes that treating every hurdle as a stepping stone towards success and a learning opportunity is essential.
Providing Distinctive HR consulting service
Establishing Yasasve HR consulting firm few years ago wasn’t an easy task; Meghana hasn’t kept a stone unturned to achieve the stature that her firm has reached today. Her determination, hard work, most importantly her 17 years of friendship with Anitha and their faith on each other has been crucial to tackle all the ups & downs in this market. The firm started with two employees providing recruitment initially only for Hyderabad & Secunderabad. Setting up a startup has been a “roller coaster ride” says Meghana. Yasasve now has 25 employees working together to achieve great heights.
Meghana believes that if one wishes to sustain in this competitive world, one needs to use strategies and methodologies which are superior and different from its competitors. Meeting deadlines is one of the bench marks of strategies at Yasasve. They aim that operations should be completed on time to eliminate the possibility of revenue loss in businesses.Recruiting on social media sites which help in spreading the message on niche social media sites that are frequently visited by the target audience. Using video interview technology can help enhance candidate search by streamlining the screening process, and makes it easy to spot potential candidate. These strategies are some of the distinctive features and services offered by Yasasve, and have led the path of the firm towards success.
