DOING IT RIGHT

FOR ARATHI KRISHNA, MD of Sundram Fasteners, "to be powerful in the real meaning of the word is to treat everyone with justice and ethics."

- ASTHA ORIEL

The 56-year-old, who joined Sundram Fasteners as a trainee in 1990, has spearheaded the company's strong global expansion in both auto and non-auto sectors despite the cyclicality of the business, the global recession of 2008, and the impact of Covid-19.

For Krishna, the main focus has always been growing the company at double-digit annualised rates and to encourage home-grown talent within the organisation.
