The Importance of HR in a Startup at Perpex, Kozhikode.

Team Inspire by Srishti Innovative successfully conducted a session on “The Importance of HR in a Startup” at Perpex, Kozhikode, led by Vishnu Prasad, an experienced HR professional and a UNDP-certified soft skills and life skills trainer.

The session shed light on the vital role Human Resources plays in building and sustaining a startup’s success. Vishnu Prasad highlighted how HR is more than just recruitment—it’s about creating the right culture, fostering employee engagement, ensuring legal compliance, and driving growth through people-centric strategies. His insights gave participants a deeper understanding of how startups can avoid common pitfalls by integrating strong HR practices from day one.

Throughout the session, attendees engaged in discussions and practical scenarios on talent acquisition, performance management, employee retention, and workplace culture. Real-world examples helped illustrate how HR can influence productivity, innovation, and overall business sustainability. Startups often focus heavily on product and marketing, but as Vishnu Prasad emphasized, “People are the real drivers of any business, and HR ensures that these people perform at their best.”

The interactive approach of the session ensured participants could connect the concepts to their own entrepreneurial journeys. From early-stage hiring strategies to establishing policies that adapt with growth, the session covered essential knowledge that every founder and aspiring entrepreneur should know. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Perpex, Kozhikode, for hosting this impactful event and to all participants who made it engaging and insightful.
