Onam: A Celebration of Renewal, Belonging and Hope

Onam is a celebration of abundance, renewal and the joy of coming together. At its heart lies the hope of a society in which dignity, wellbeing and opportunity are shared by all.

Across the social sector, organisations, professionals and communities work every day to translate this aspiration into action—strengthening public systems, widening access to essential services, creating opportunities and helping ensure that no one is left behind.

At SAMS, we are privileged to bring purposeful organisations and committed professionals together, enabling people and institutions to contribute more effectively to positive social change.

As homes and communities welcome Onam with pookalams, shared meals and celebration, may the season renew our collective commitment to inclusion, compassion and shared progress.

Team SAMS wishes our clients, colleagues, candidates, partners and friends a joyful, harmonious and prosperous Onam!

Issue #12 of the SAMS Newsletter is out and this month, the question running through every section is the same one that sits behind every hiring decision in this sector: does the right person exist for what the work now requires?

We announce the launch of SAMS-STC Jobs — India’s first dedicated mobile job platform for the social sector, built by SAMS Social Talent Connect (SAMS-STC) | Jobs •RFPs •Collaborations.

We cover AI funding and why the real cost is never the technology. The biggest restructuring of rural employment policy in two decades — MGNREGA is gone, VB-G RAM G is here. Leadership appointments that signal how the sector is evolving.

This month’s opening column is written by our Communication Officer, Sheikha Mariyam Sam, on why communications is itself a hiring function and what four months of producing content for a specialist audience taught her about both.

The July edition of the SAMS Newsletter — Issue #11 — is now out.

This month we look at what's actually shifting in social sector hiring: the FCRA Rule amendments that came into force on 22 June 2026, the changing logic of CSR funding, India's surging white-collar gig economy, and a practical checklist for hiring managers navigating one of the toughest talent markets in recent years.

We also have a column from Brijesh Gaur, Senior Recruitment Manager at SAMS, sharing his experience balancing client expectations with what the talent market can realistically deliver — a perspective built from years of executive search in the social sector.

If you work in — or hire for — India's social sector, this one is worth your time.
