HR Talks About Life at Chillibreeze

Chillibreeze started out as a small organisation with a handful of employees in 2004 and has come a very long way from there. Today Chillibreeze is a large, global organisation servicing high profile clients and delivering high quality work. We are looking for highly motivated persons with a strong drive to succeed. At the same time we offer challenging career opportunities allowing growth and advancement in the organisation.

Some of our manager stalk about the successes, challenges, and learnings while working at Chillibreeze and how they see their own growth and success interwoven with the success story of Chillibreeze.

Teddy Kharpuri our head of HR and Admin has been with Chillibreeze for almost 4 years. He talks about the challenges faced when Chillibreeze first started out. ‘We even had problems in some areas like power supply – the current would go off frequently and some months we had daily power shut down for a few hours. Internet Connection was also an issue, it was not stable at all and when the line went down it took a long time to fix. Service providers were not aware of how crucial the internet was for us.’

‘Attracting good talent was also a big challenge for us. Most people preferred government jobs. When we did get people it was a challenge to train them and get them to work for a professional company like Chillibreeze – this work environment was completely new to them.’

‘Along the way some people tried to stand in the way blocking our success. They were selfish and only worked for their personal gain and not towards the larger interest of the company. In the end they either quit or were fired.’

Overcoming the challenges
We have a big generator now so that we don’t have any down time. We take the internet connection from STPI which is faster and much more stable; we also have our own backup line now. We have installed a router with two internet lines and when one goes down the other would automatically back up. Recruiting and getting good people is still a challenge, but we do give a lot of benefits like Provident Fund, Insurance, a good salary and several other incentives to attract and retain people.

About the Chillibreeze team Teddy says
‘We work together and take challenges head on as a team. We share and grow as a team. The leaders make sure they lead by examples, we respect each other and we work as equals. There are many challenges but rewards are high and this makes Chillibreeze an exciting and great place to work for!’
