Colleagues describe them as "Palak was part of my team at Franklin for over 4 years and was based in Chennai. She started as an HR Consultant to drive HR client facing efforts for Operations, Customer Service and a few other corporate functions...and later on was given the responsibility to support sales and distribution teams as well. Palak had a great stint at Franklin and was involved in some fairly complex HR initiatives that required both skill and a balanced head. She comes prepared, presents her thoughts in a structured manner backed up with logical data points. She also had a great connect with her employees and leaders which was super helpful. She is also a strong DEI advocate and was a strong ally in building an inclusive culture at the firm. She manages to take some time off and focus on her own personal development from time to time, which is great - she has successfully completed her SHRM course during her stint with FT. Besides all the nice things that I called out above, what stood out for me in Palak was her ability to deliver exceptional results, even in the midst of a storm - calm, composed and walking one step at a time - always focused!. Although we miss her around, I can't wait to see all the wonderful things that she will achieve. Good luck, Palak!" and "I know Palak for the past 5 years and she has transformed to a good friend rather than a colleague or a reportee. Palak is exceptionally strong in analytics, sensitive and caring to people around her which makes her a good HR partner. Her happy go lucky attitude, desire to do better and more always motivates those around her. I still keep saying that this HR team was the best team that I have worked with and Palak is a very strong reason for it. Wishing her all the very best everytime!!"
