Connecting People, Powering Growth – The Words That Help Bind a Company Together!

Some lines are well-written.
Some are well-timed.
And some, like the one Swarna Lata gave us, are well-lived.

When we launched our company-wide slogan contest last month, we were hoping to hear from the people who bring SRA’s story to life every day. We weren’t looking for the most polished sentence. We were looking for truth. Something that felt real. Something that captured what it actually means to be part of this team -and the impact our work creates for others.

The entries were beautiful. Clever. Bold. Reflective. But there was one that stood out. One that felt like it wasn’t just written, it was lived.

“Connecting people, powering growth.”

That was Swarna Lata’s entry. And it struck a chord with just about everyone who read it It’s simple. It’s strong. And it’s exactly what she does every single day.

A Slogan Born from Experience

Swarna isn’t just a recruiter at SRA. She’s someone who embodies what this organization stands for. Her journey with us has been filled with moments of learning, unlearning, building, and blossoming. And for her, those five words weren’t just an idea. They were a mirror -a reflection of what she had experienced within these virtual and real-world walls.

“I didn’t think it would win, honestly,” Swarna said, laughing during our team call.
“It just felt right. For me, SRA really did both -it helped me connect with people, build relationships, and create a network I never thought I’d have. And that connection gave me the confidence to grow… professionally, but also personally.”

When she speaks, there’s a calm clarity in her voice. You can tell these words come from a place of gratitude, but also strength. She remembers the early days -the uncertainty of new processes, the pressure of client expectations, the vulnerability of representing someone’s career hopes in a single phone call. And she also remembers what helped her push through it: people.

People who encouraged her. People who taught her. People who saw her potential before she fully did. Now, she’s the one paying it forward.

The Power of Connection in Recruitment

Recruitment is often misunderstood as a numbers game. But ask anyone who’s been on the inside long enough, and they’ll tell you -it’s anything but.

It’s about listening more than speaking. It’s about reading between the lines of a resume, and also between the pauses in a candidate’s voice. It’s about showing up for people during moments of uncertainty, career shifts, and new beginnings.

And that’s what Swarna does best.

She’s not just filling roles. She’s building bridges. Between clients and candidates. Between industries and opportunities. Between individuals and their next chapter. That’s what “connecting people” means to her. And that connection is what fuels growth -not just for the people she helps place, but for herself as well.

“I’ve learned how to trust myself,” she said. “Every call, every placement, every follow-up has taught me something. I’m not the same person I was when I started. I’m more independent. I think bigger now. I feel capable in a way I never really did before.”

Growth With Heart

It’s easy to talk about professional growth in numbers and milestones. But Swarna reminds us that real growth has heart.

Her journey is proof that progress doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes, it looks like quiet resilience. Like choosing to learn through feedback. Like showing up on hard days with kindness and clarity. Like believing in your own potential before the results show up. And maybe that’s why her slogan resonated so deeply. It wasn’t flashy. It was real.

Connection. Growth. Humanity. Possibility.

These aren’t just words. They’re experiences lived by people like Swarna. And they’re the values that quietly shape SRA’s story every day.

A Final Word of Thanks

This month, we’re incredibly proud to shine the spotlight on Swarna Lata -not just for her slogan, but for who she is.

For being someone who shows up with sincerity.
For leading with quiet strength.
For reminding us that meaningful work starts with meaningful connection.

Swarna, thank you for your words. Thank you for your presence. And thank you for being a living example of what it means to connect people and power growth
