About Sriram Padmanabhan and Cymorg Inc:

In my new venture, Cymorg, I leverage my 20+ years in business strategy, sales and software into designing & building a Future of Work platform that is closely linked to our clients' objectives, strategies and value system.

As head of the Banking and Financial Services vertical for NIIT Technologies Inc. between 2014-16, I was ultimately responsible for the revenue and profitability of the unit. I decided & budgeted for the structure of the vertical, and defined & executed the go-to-market sales, marketing, alliance and partner strategies.

Prior to this, I worked for Infosys and managed their global relationships with a group of client firms in the capital markets.

My areas of interest/expertise are business strategy, analytics in talent management, financial services software applications, relationship management, team management and large deal negotiations.

Over the years, I have dabbled in software development, testing, product design & implementation, project management, management of large offshore units, contract negotiations, sales & relationship management, and running an independent P&L.

Cymorg improves organizational outcomes by improving the quality of decision-making.

Market-facing employees with a shared understanding of the organization’s priorities, values and strategies tend to collaborate better, and consistently take good decisions.
