Footballer | Musician | Dogs | Tech Geek | Labour and Employment Law | Business Process EffectivenessI run a business in the area of labour law compliance. I have often been asked how I developed a passion for this subject. Errr.. no, I do not have a passion for labour laws. I do this because ...I spent a large part of my education playing football and practicing music. This would result in me missing a lot of classes. Two professors did not appreciate this and singled me out for punishment. Being hardy and resilient, I promised myself I would show them. One of those professors taught me labour law, the other taught me database systems. Some 10 years later, I ended up creating a massive database and tool for labour law compliance in India. So there.Well almost, I found selling the software quite difficult. One wise prospect advised me that the software is great, but he actually needs someone to outsource the process to. I then flipped my model and decided to use my own software to deliver a service. The software was very good, and the service does well enough to allow me plenty of time to play football and practice music.I got my first computer in 1983 at the age of 15. I have been writing code for fun since then. This has thought to me to think process-logic-algorithm-repeatability. I continue to lovingly handcraft my in-house customer-facing systems. I started my career dealing with militant trade unions in shipping. I have many exciting stories from this stint. It also taught me to keep my cool and think on my feet in the face of extreme anger and conflict. I also spent a few years working with banking unions who were much easier on my nerves.I also spent over 20 years working with organisations, small and large, with very senior and very junior management, on a variety of HR and Business Process effectiveness and automation projects. I continue to do this for non-profits and social impact organisations.I love numbers, I also find the time to quiz and do crosswords, and play board games. I have so many small hobbies, I have made it a habit to fashion my work timings around these rather than the other way around.Contact me at ananth@comply4hr.com or message me here, happy to start a conversation.
