On 25 March 2026, the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSSIHL) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SKN Organics Private Limited, marking the beginning of a collaborative engagement focused on strengthening human resource practices within the industry.
The MoU was formally exchanged between Prof. B. Raghavendra Prasad, Vice-Chancellor, SSSIHL, and Mr. Narasimman, Managing Director, SKN Organics Pvt. Ltd., in the presence of Dr. Srikanth Khanna, Registrar, SSSIHL; Dr. G. Padmavathy, Head of the Department of Management and Commerce; and Dr. Chandrahaas C S, Assistant Professor, from SSSIHL. Representing SKN Organics were Mr. Sai Krishnan, Joint Managing Director; Dr. Sai Giridhar Sairam, Chief People Officer; and Mr. Partha Sarathy, Chief Operating Officer.
This partnership reflects SSSIHL’s continued commitment to integrating academic expertise with industry needs.
Under the agreement, the MBA (HR) team from SSSIHL will provide comprehensive HR consulting services to SKN Organics Pvt. Ltd., a company engaged in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This strategic collaboration will fortify SKN Organics’ human resource framework by establishing a structured, sustainable ecosystem through three distinct phases: organizational diagnosis, policy development, and process optimization.
The initiative will yield comprehensive deliverables, including a formal HR audit and gap analysis, a revised employee handbook, competency mapping, and sophisticated talent assessment tools such as the 9-box grid. By streamlining recruitment and onboarding systems alongside targeted management training, the project ensures enhanced operational efficiency and a robust foundation for long-term human capital management.
This MoU underscores the value of academia–industry partnerships in fostering practical learning, enabling knowledge exchange, and supporting organizations in building robust, value-driven systems and processes.
