Narmada Lakshmanan — Co-Founder

I help founders and leadership teams build scalable, business-aligned HR systems that support growth — not slow it down. With 20+ years of HR leadership experience, I work as a Fractional CHRO and People Strategy Advisor for early-stage and growth-stage organizations. I am also the Co-Founder of Quadagile, a people advisory firm focused on delivering agile, practical, and outcome-driven HR solutions. I typically work with: ✔ Startups setting up HR from scratch ✔ Companies scaling from 20 → 200+ employees ✔ Founders who need senior HR thinking without full-time overhead What I help you with: - End-to-end HR setup (policies, performance, hiring, compliance) - People & talent strategy aligned to business goals - Performance management (OKRs / KRAs) - Leadership & manager capability building - Talent acquisition strategy & critical hiring - Employee experience & engagement programs - HR audits and process optimization My style is business-first, people-centric, and hands-on. I don’t believe in generic policies or theory-heavy HR — I build systems that leaders actually use. If you’re looking for a trusted HR partner who understands both people and business, let’s connect.
