If you are reading about her, chances are she hasn’t reached out to you yet for the Employee Happiness Awards. 

Meet her. She’s Aruna Avanthika Saravanakumar, Head of Sales & Client Strategy at Eventyst Global, where she leads platforms such as Employee Happiness Awards, World Realty Congress Awards, and Employee Happiness Daily across the UAE, KSA, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa.
 

A Law and Business graduate from the University of Adelaide and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Psychology, Aruna brings together legal precision, commercial thinking, and a deep curiosity about human behaviour. 

Positioned at the intersection of leadership conversations, workplace culture trends, and cross-industry best practices, she is constantly learning from founders, HR leaders, and organisational visionaries across markets.
 

Here, she writes about those insights, the patterns she observes, the practices that truly move the needle, and the evolving conversations shaping employee happiness and organisational growth. Consider this a front-row seat to what the best are doing differently and as a young manager how she navigates deadlines and what is best for her team.
 

Having begun her journey as an Junior Event Coordinator, she steadily evolved into a key strategist, shaping partnerships, driving expansion, and strengthening the Awards’ footprint across regions. Known for her clarity, discipline, and quietly sharp wit, she brings structure where needed and spark where required.
 

If your organisation believes in people, culture, and building workplaces that actually feel good to be part of, you might want to speak to her.
 

Preferably before she speaks to you first. Feel free to drop in your email, we are quite certain she will be more than happy to schedule a call later.
