Manasa and Indra Sirigiri, Directors of the Auckland based Link2 Group of Companies received the ‘Indian Newslink 20th Anniversary Special Award for Business Excellence in Ethics and Compliance’ on December 8, 2019 at SkyCity Convention Centre, Auckland.
The Awards were presented by Attorney General of Fiji Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and New Zealand’s Leader of the Opposition Simon Bridges in the presence of more than 1100 people including Ministers for Finance, Workplace Relations & Safety, Immigration and Ethnic Communities, more than 15 members of Parliament, government officials and industry and business leaders from throughout the country.
Pursuit of Excellence
A citation described Manasa Sirigiri as a ‘visionary,’ and her success has been driven not by academic qualifications but by pursuit of excellence.
Her husband Indra Shekar Sirigiri was described as an inspiring corporate leader who has built a group of companies known for business ethics and dependability.
As the Founder of the Link2 Group, Manasa invested hard work while Indra brought his experience in business both as an employer and an employee to determine the sort of company they wanted Link2 to be- one that works hard for its customers and that treats employees with respect. In later years Rahul Sirigiri the current CEO contributed to the growth of business by way of acquisitions and diversification.
Link2 Services, which is a major part of the Group, including other entities, Link2 Solutions and Stirling Recruitment today employs more than 400 staff about 60% of who are of Indian ethnicity working with about 50 different customers across Auckland. New employees undergo training and an induction programme with a significant focus on health and safety systems as well as the required skills for customer deployment.
Professional approach
It was while working as a logistics manager more than 18 years ago that Mr Sirigiri saw a different way of managing contract labour in this sector. Instead of hiring inexperienced casual staff just on an hourly wage rate, he offered clients a unique model of fixed unit pricing and then supply them with trained staff with an onsite supervisor.
This has been developed as an innovative and result-driven model and Link 2 Services is the only company that provides personnel on unit price basis as well as hourly basis, working onsite of clients and offsite at its own facility. These wide-ranging options have proved to be of benefit to its clients, offering them quality and cost-effective human resources solutions.
Awards and Citations
Over the past 19 years, the Link2 Group has been acknowledged for good governance and management principles in New Zealand.
The Company has won several Awards in the past years, the most significant of which was of Indian Bthe Supreme Business Award of the Year in 2016 presented by then Prime Minister Sir John Key. Other Awards won that year include ‘Best Employer of Choice,’ Business Excellence in Customer Service (2015 & 2016), along with prestigious Westpac Auckland Business Awards (South) in 2017 for Best of the Best Employer of the year and Supreme Business award. Their Son and CEO, Rahul Sirigiri won the Best Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the Indian Newslink Annual Awards twice- in 2013 and 2016.
