Siddhartha nagolu

I’m an HR Operations & Shared Services leader with 17+ years of experience across HR Operations, end-to-end payroll, employee lifecycle management, and financial governance. I focus on service delivery in complex, multi-site environments while keeping statutory compliance and data integrity non-negotiable.

As Project & Branch Manager at Svasta Services Pvt. Ltd., I lead multi-site HR, financial, and administrative operations, scaling services to support 500+ employees and managing cross-functional teams and branch leaders. I own the complete employee lifecycle—from onboarding and induction to separations—while partnering closely with regional business units and leadership teams.

I direct end-to-end finance and payroll operations, including P2P, AR, R2R, salary validations, statutory deductions, and month-end closing activities. I maintain 100% accuracy in sub-ledger to general ledger reconciliations, and I strengthen payroll outcomes through quality control checks and change control workflows that reduce processing cycle times and streamline Full & Final Settlement.

My approach combines leadership, audit readiness, and process excellence: I mentor Team Leads, oversee internal and statutory audits, and ensure operations stay compliant with changing regional labour laws and corporate governance frameworks. Previously, as an HR Executive, I managed high-volume payroll quality assurance and vendor governance for 500+ employees, improving reconciliation and resolving complex tier-2 queries.
