- FTCCI HR Awards highlight role of HR in industrial growth
- FTCCI HR Awards held alongside HR Conclave on labour codes
Hyderabad: FTCCI HR Awards were presented on Thursday as Telangana Labour Minister Gaddam Vivek Venkat Swamy attended the 7th edition of the awards ceremony in Hyderabad. The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry organised the event at Red Hills, where the Minister participated as the Chief Guest. The awards recognised professional excellence and outstanding contributions in human resource management across industries.
The FTCCI HR Awards were initiated by the HR Committee of FTCCI. The initiative aims to recognise best HR practices and encourage wider learning across organisations. During the event, award winning organisations shared their HR practices to support adoption across sectors. Therefore, the programme focused on both recognition and knowledge sharing within the HR community.
Addressing the gathering, Minister Gaddam Vivek Venkat Swamy stressed that resistance often follows new laws and regulations. However, he said acceptance comes with time. He recalled experiences related to his father, a former Union Labour Minister, who introduced a pension scheme for industrial workers despite strong opposition from industry. He also referred to leading a delegation as CII President to raise industry concerns, while his father stood firm on labour welfare. Later, he recalled an incident from 1986 when his father inaugurated his factory and announced a labour union on the first day.
The Minister said industrial growth remains critical for governments as it creates jobs and strengthens the state exchequer. He also highlighted the role of HR professionals in ensuring balanced growth and workforce welfare. Meanwhile, he urged youth to use the Advanced Technology Centres being set up by the Telangana Government. He recalled that 115 such centres are coming up across the State to provide industry relevant training and future employment opportunities.
Later, the Minister presented FTCCI HR Awards to organisations and individuals across categories. Apitoria Pharma Private Limited and 3GHR Services were recognised in talent acquisition. Coromandel International Limited and ECMAS Construction Chemical Private Limited received awards for learning and development. Other awards recognised excellence in performance management, employee engagement, HR technology, and individual achievement.
Before the awards ceremony, FTCCI organised the 4th HR Conclave themed “HR Catalyst 2025/26: Navigating the New Labour Codes”. The conclave aimed to equip HR professionals with insights into India’s evolving labour laws. It was inaugurated by Y. Mohan Babu, Director of Factories, with R. Chandrashekaram as Guest of Honour. Speakers discussed the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Social Security Code, and Occupational Safety and Health Code. The conclave concluded with the FTCCI HR Awards 2025.
