An HR consultant is more than just an information provider. It is a marketing organization representing its client, who should remain transparent. This is extremely tricky, because transparent marketing can be termed as an oxymoron in itself. Nevertheless, that’s precisely how Psalm Consulting defines itself. Buttressed by the pillars of transparency and ethics, this Varanasi-headquartered HR consultation company acts as a catalyst in creating ethical associations with high focus on delivering quality to clients. Its stark focus on Healthcare sector enables it to ultimately create recruiter competence and gives it an edge in delivering timely services, which endows its clients with significant RoI. Psalm’s experience comes in handy during real-time intervention, wherein it anticipates a problem and develops a solution before it hits.

Having invested more than 20 years at the other side of the table handling consultants of all hues, Ravi Kant Tripathi (Founder, Chairman&Managing Director) noticed a common thread which bonded many of them – the lack of concern for the client organization’s objective. Hence, when the entrepreneurial bug bit him, he determined to transform this gap into a profitable business proposition. Thus Psalm came into existence in 2012. This client-centric strategy not only helped Ravi to build a reasonably large clientele in the hospital, medical colleges & diagnostic centre arenas, but also helped the company to grow more than thirty times in the past six years. “In the two years, we were in red and from third year onwards we’re continuously in black and expect to grow at the same or higher pace,” adds Ravi.
