The Impactful Teammate at 7Span
 
One person who’s made a huge impact on 7Span’s journey is Bhavik Vachhani, our Partner. He is an Alumni of IIMU and Ex-EY Parthenon. From day one, their passion, out-of-the-box thinking, and ability to tackle challenges head-on really stood out.

Back when 7Span was growing from a small agency to a more recognized player in the industry, Bhavik stepped up in a way I’ll always remember. He wasn’t just about doing the job—he cared deeply about 7Span’s vision, treating the company as if it were his own. Whether it was solving client challenges, building internal processes, or mentoring team members, their contributions were always top-notch and game-changing.

A Defining Moment

There’s this one moment I’ll never forget. We were working to streamline different processes, including L&D, Appraisal, and Recruitment, which is super important for 7Span’s growth.

Instead of stressing out, Bhavik took charge. He pulled the different team together, crafted a detailed process, and then presented it to us with total confidence and clarity. The way he handled the whole process—especially answering those tricky questions during the meeting—left us all super impressed. Not only did we implement the processes, but it also set a new standard for how we come up with transparency in our process and what we can achieve as a team.

That win wasn’t just about revenue; it boosted morale across the board and helped us land even bigger milestones down the line.

Advice for Fellow Founders

Finding someone like Bhavik isn’t easy, but here’s what I’ve learned:

 1. Hire for passion and ownership. Look for people who genuinely care about the mission, not just their job description. These are the ones who’ll go above and beyond.

 2. Give them space to lead. When you trust someone with responsibility, they’re more likely to take ownership and show you what they’re capable of.

 3. Watch for potential, not just results. Often, the ones making quiet but meaningful contributions are the ones ready to step up when given the chance.

 4. Invest in their growth. Help them learn, grow, and take on challenges. When people see they’re valued, they give their best.

 5. Celebrate the wins. Recognize their efforts publicly and privately—it’s a small thing, but it goes a long way.

When you create an environment like this, you’ll not only find amazing people but also empower them to do their best work and help your company thrive.
