Apollo Sindoori Hotels has appointed Lakshmi S as its new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).
“As I now step into my new role in Chennai, I am deeply honored to lead the people strategy as the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) at Apollo Sindoori Hotels Limited and its subsidiaries,” Lakshmi shared on LinkedIn. “A senior leader once told me: ‘You are not joining any person. You are joining an organisation. Go make a difference.’ These words will continue to guide me.”
As a part of her welcoming process, Lakshmi was given a campus tour of a 700+ bedded top hospital in Kolkata. “What was meant to be a one-hour interaction turned into a half-day of enriching dialogue – we discussed people-first HR strategies, the beauty of meaningful employee experiences, and the deep commitment to values demonstrated by the promoters,” she shared.
Prior to joining Apollo Sindoori Hotels, Lakshmi was a part of Quess Corp. She first joined the company in November 2014 as an HR Business Partner, a role she held until January 2020. In January 2022, Lashmi returned to the company as General Manager – HR and HR Business Partner.
From May 2020 to January 2022, Lakshmi served as a Partner for HR and Organisation Effectiveness at Provyze.
