From Fragmented HR Data to Automation: A Health Wellness Giant's HR Transformation Using Microsoft Fabric
Company Overview
A global leader in wellness and personal care, this 90-year-old Ayurvedic enterprise operates across 100+ countries, employing over 5,000 professionals. With a diverse portfolio spanning pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, baby care, and personal wellness, their FY24 revenue crossed INR 3,000 crores (~$360 million). Yet, rapid growth brought rising complexity, especially in managing their expanding workforce and global HR operations.
The HR Puzzle: When Data Becomes a Barrier
The organization’s HR data was scattered across multiple systems—SAP, SuccessFactors, Excel—making it hard to derive meaningful, timely insights.
Challenges included:
-
No unified view for HR KPIs and workforce reports
-
Inability to analyze critical metrics like attrition, replacement cost, or hiring timelines in real time
-
Over 200+ hours/month spent on repetitive manual reporting
-
Inconsistent data across departments, delaying decisions
-
Lack of alignment with Annual Operating Plan (AOP) targets
These inefficiencies created a reactive HR environment, with strategy suffering from limited foresight and fragmented information.

-
Consolidate all HR data sources into a single governed platform
-
Enable real-time access to workforce insights
