— Why SPARK exists

20 years inside industry.
One truth that wouldn't go away:
HR is either an accelerator, or a tax.

Thiagarajan spent two decades leading HR inside Ashok Leyland, Hero MotoCorp, the Amalgamations Group and Dr. Mehta's Group. He watched world-class businesses stall — not for lack of strategy or capital, but because their people systems couldn't keep up.

He also saw the other side. Founders spending 40% of their week on HR fires. MSMEs paying penalties for compliance nobody had told them about. High-potential companies losing key talent because career paths didn't exist.

SPARK was started to close that gap — to give growing businesses the same quality of HR thinking that only the largest corporates could afford, delivered as a long-term partner rather than a one-off report.

"We don't sell HR deliverables. We build people systems that outlast us."
