An Employee-Centric Workplace

An Employee-Centric Workplace

Employee Speaks-Satyendra

I have worked with various organizations in the past and joining Arth has by far been a great decision, that I have made workwise. 

I have observed the deep connection each and every team member shares, including senior management in Arth. 

As an early-stage startup-up, Arth is growing every single day and I am proud to be a part of this growth. When I joined in Human Resource Operations in Feb 2020, we were a team of only 30-35 members and now, we are 100+. 

Over the years, I got substantial recognition and opportunity to work in the new domain of learning and development.

Arth cares about its customers and employees and works considerably and competently to succeed. Respect, care and excellence are qualities that exude from the top and flow throughout the rest of the company.  

Arth’s value proposition is something I value myself – Empathy and Collaboration. As an experienced human resource professional I look forward to building a strong foundation and connection across verticals company wide.

HAPPY AND CONFIDENT AT ARTH

HAPPY AND CONFIDENT AT ARTH

Hi,

I am happy and confident in saying that I have met my goals this year, as I have been elevated from the position of Executive – Accounts to Assistant Manager – Accounts recently. It has always been my goal to be a better caretaker in the company. In working towards this goal, I am sure that I have contributed substantially to the company’s growth as well.

The learning experience with Arth has been vast within the short period of time that I have been here. I have been given tasks requiring high levels of responsibility that also helped in boosting my confidence.

I can also say that I have indeed learnt a lot amid this enjoyable working atmosphere. For me at Arth, 2023 has turned out better than expected.

A Meaningful Journey with Arth

Arth Employee

By Niharika.M

The purpose of an organization is the fundamental driver for its existence and growths. At Arth, we focus on making Micro Financial Services accessible to marginalized populations, especially women of our community. This purpose-driven approach of Arth, which aligns with my core values is what motivated me to join Arth.

While I joined Arth as Lead-Partnerships last year, my journey with Arth started long before that. While pursuing my MBA from NMIMS-Mumbai, I got an opportunity to work with Arth, in understanding the credit profiles of Mentha farmers. It made me realize the untapped potential of micro-entrepreneurs in rural India and how this is primarily being driven by aspiring women micro-entrepreneurs.

However, challenges such as lack of access to capital and lack of credit profiles still stymie their growth. Coming from western Rajasthan, where the lack of opportunities for women is a ubiquitous issue, I was cognizant of the importance of access to capital and its potential to create exponential impact at a societal level.

The financial landscape of India is on the cusp of a major change and fintech firms like Arth which are working towards financial inclusion and access to capital at the grassroots level, will be at the forefront of this change.

As a part of my work with Arth, I have been able to work on multiple projects with both government and private organizations. This has given me a holistic view of how government and private organizations can work together to achieve common organizational goals to maximize impact in a mutually beneficial setup. The learning doesn’t stop here!

At Arth, recognition of work is swift, and a plethora of opportunities are provided to take on new challenges and responsibilities.

In just one year of my stint at Arth, I have been provided with a variety of opportunities, to lead multiple verticals including Partnerships, the Hyper-Local Partnerships (HLP) program and the Insurance division.

Further, working with industry stalwarts who always have unique ideas to solve complex problems has helped me develop an in-depth understanding of the industry and grow professionally!

3 Years of Learning and Gratitude

I have had the opportunity to work at Arth for almost 3 years now, nearly since inception. But somehow, the time has passed very quickly, as I have celebrated and enjoyed every minute of it. Looking back at my experience at Arth is very satisfying.

I have been in Sales & Business Development for over 8 years. I have spoken to thousands of people and acquired customers across 3 different states. For the last 3 years I have been learning every day, from being a Cluster officer to an Operations Manager at Arth. This is a journey that has made me a better person through the years. I’ve been fortunate working with the right company and more importantly, the right people.

While many employees do not commit to a long stint at an organization, this is what I strive for, and Arth has been able to provide me with a great experience in this regard. I would also want my colleagues to have a similar experience, working alongside leaders at Arth, who lead from the front and provide the right guidance and direction.  

I have faced a lot of challenges working in the field, but I’m still here and there’s a reason for that. I believe in the company’s mission and the vision of my seniors. I still remember when we used manual customer application forms for customer onboarding, but now we have moved on to customer onboarding digitally on mobile phones, and that too in just 5 minutes. 

If I can help in replicating my own employment experience for my peers and colleagues, then I know that I’m doing my job right.

There are also a few lessons I’ve learned along the way which I try to practice myself. Treat others as you wish to be treated, always look at long-term goals, listen carefully, and consider everything as an opportunity. Also, value your product or service and respect your peers, colleagues and most importantly, your customers. 

Arth has fostered all the traits above and that’s why I’m still going strong after 3 years. There are not many people who have experienced a journey from being an Officer to Manager, with back-to-back promotions every year, and it is indeed a matter of pride for me!

I am grateful and thankful for certain events like the USAID visit at our Madiyaon cluster where I was entrusted with the responsibility to welcome dignitaries and organise an elaborate event. I also feel deeply thankful to my senior colleagues for calling me to wish me personally on becoming a father, or for turning up at events to support me. These make me become more attentive and responsible at my workplace.

Hopefully I should be able to contribute more towards the organization in the coming years and do justice to the faith that has been put by my seniors in me.  
I am also deeply grateful to my seniors within the organization, for being the best mentors that I’ve ever had, by providing me the right guidance both professionally as well as personally, and for having faith in me through the years.

Here’s looking forward to the next 5 at Arth! Always think positive and be positive. Let us grow together.
