15-Anthelio Business Tech: Unity in Diversity

In the last one year, Anthelio Business Technologies has grown in strength, literally, from an employee base of 4 it has reached 400 in the healthcare business alone. But what makes Anthelio stand out from the rest is that unlike other healthcare outsourcing companies that cater to physicians, Anthelio is catering to the IT requirements of North American hospitals. In order to build upon this unique opportunity, it has even started partnering with the educational institutions to strengthen the supply side of the industry.

Sourcing talent from across India, the company is clear on its focus of bringing in a diversity of talent, although it does give preference to Hyderabad based colleges but only since healthcare talent abounds there. Currently, in partnership with 30 odd colleges including Thapar Institute, it sources talent from as far away as the North East and Central Indias engineering colleges, medical colleges, management colleges, nursing schools and even veterinary colleges.

The company even bagged the Nasscom NExT Practices award for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.

Not just diversity of talent, the Anthelio management also emphasizes on gender diversity as well with 30% of its workforce being women and most of the recent hires at the executive level being women.

Surprisingly, when it comes to company culture, Anthelio has been ranked at #10 even though its policies are designed by the employees themselves. Stressing that its work culture should be enjoyable and safe, it follows the 3 principles of Simplicity, Passion, and Lage Raho. The company follows a first name culture and an open feedback mechanism wherein any employee can write to the CEO.

There has been a lot of emphasis by Anthelio on its training, putting in a lot of investment, in fact 4% of its overall revenues was invested in training this year. It even put into place an e-learning platform. While certain training programs are mandatory, the company stresses on e-learning for its employees and on-the-job training instead of classroom training programs. In its leadership programs too, experiential training is encouraged which can go upto 6 months. Rightly so, Anthelio calls this training program mix as Learning and Development.
