After two successful years of playing group human resources head at Thermax, for the Cooling division, Yugavel Manickam has joined Suguna Foods as chief human resources officer (CHRO).
An alumnus of Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirapalli, Yugavel Manickam began his professional journey as an HR professional with Reliance Retail in 2006, working out of Chennai and Coimbatore for about two and a half years.
He then moved to Eid Parry spending the next five years and eight months out of Karuru and Trichy.
Saint Gobain roped him in to handle HR role from August 2014 to August 2021.
His next stop was Wittur Group where he spent over two and a half years. First as plant head-HR and then as general manager-HR.
It was in March 2024 that he came to be associated with Thermax as group HR head-Thermax Cooling.
Now, at Suguna Foods, the enthusiasm, zeal and the ability to execute with confidence that Yugavel Manickam is known for, will definitely be an asset to the Indian poultry conglomerate.
Manickam expressed his excitement on social media, saying he was looking forward to being “part of an organisation that has built a strong legacy, clear purpose and ambitious growth aspirations in the food and agri-business sector”.
He looks forward “to contributing to the organisation’s people, culture and growth journey.”
