"Self confidence, perseverance, thorough understanding"
-by S.Subbiah
Touring all over the world and ‘undergoing training in and exposure to’ big Multi-National Corporations have laid strong foundations to my managing capabilities, and organizing talent, thus adding flavor to my subject knowledge and showcasing presentation skills of undertaken tasks, which in turn have benchmarked my career growth, says Deputy GM of Universal Projects General Trading Contracting Co., Shri. P. Balasekar.
His native is Naattuchalai, a village near Pattukotai in Tanjore District of Tamil Nadu, India. His father (late, Shri.Palanivelu) was a Goldsmith and although not well educated, had inculcated the importance of good education in his son.
Balasekar completed his schooling at his native place and did a Diploma in Electronics and Communications Engineering at Aranthaangi Town, Tamil Nadu. In the year 1985, he joined Century Instrumentation Private Limited Company (with Headquarters at Chandigarh) as Bangalore Area Sales & Service Executive and served the Southern States of India, for the Company.
He moved to Kuwait in the year 1992 and joined Specialized Security System Company as a Project Engineer. Moving from one Company to another, added to his body of knowledge and sound professional experience. Joining the Security Systems Division of Universal Projects in the year 1998 and moving across ‘Fire & Gas Detection & Low Voltage’ and ‘Oil & Gas’ Divisions, he has grown from strength to strength and today is the Deputy GM of the Company.
With more than 50 employees, his present Employer is within the top ten ranked Companies of Kuwait, having Projects for Kuwait Government Authorities, US Army etc. spread all over Kuwait and which have been and are being executed, very successfully.
Self confidence, perseverance, thorough understanding of any issue before making a decision and following through the decision to logical and successful conclusion are his hallmarks. He regularly tours US, France and other European Countries for business related works. His firm belief is that education is limitless and boundless and thus keeps on searching for work related materials in net, through web browsing, and listening to music are his hobbies.
He shows keen interest in doing new things, differently and useful for others. He possesses a down to earth attitude and is calm, quiet and composed, by nature. He derives pleasure in helping others, in need. Solving any difficult issues through consensus and without hurting concerned people, is one of the keys to his success story. Treating co-workers as an extended family, lures and glues them to remain with him for longer periods of service. He has a good heart and shows keen interests in the needs of his colleagues and fulfills them, on his own, without being asked.
During his work related earlier train journeys across India, he has come across destitute and poor sections of society, which has left an indelible mark in his heart and he nowadays helps them, in many ways. Together with assisting many service Organizations he helps elders, abandoned and orphaned girl children, including helping TrichyAnnaiAsram, on an yearly basis, for their needs.
His wife LathaBalasekar supports him and stands shoulder to shoulder with him, encouraging him to the hilt, in all his activities. She holds a Diploma in Civil Engineering and after having had worked on some projects earlier, is a homemaker, these days.
The couple has two adorable children, Sneha and Vinotha, both studying at Carmel School, Kuwait, in 10th and 9th Standards, respectively and both are very good in painting & dancing. Balasekar loves his parents and grandmother, a lot. His love for his family members and kind heart, has made him to love society at large, and permeates to helping the needy and under privileged.
Successfully completing any given task is his strength and forte, which is his flip side also, since he expects the same of others. His truthful experiences are ‘don’t be greedy’, and ‘growth and abundance begets giver’ and he is a living example of these characteristics.
