On an average looking at India’s economy in the current scenario the country
needs to create 1.3 million jobs per month for the next 15 years. 16 years back
when I started my journey and ventured into Shella Consultants the overall
employment average was much lesser in comparison to today. Looking at the opportunities, demand and value
for Indian Manpower overseas constituted my interest towards venturing into the
