Trusted Counsel. Seasoned Insight.

In the eight years that I have operated independently, the tenor of this website has grown nuanced.

I started as a consultant, moved to CHRO roles, and now work mostly in advisory positions, helping organisations train senior leaders who can hold the People, Culture & Growth mantle.

With a ringside seat to the origin and growth of India Inc. over a couple of decades, I have affected shifts in work culture to suit the changing landscape of businesses. Every 7-10 years, workplaces go through big shifts: The early 2000s saw collegial work culture emerge, the 2010s heralded policy changes that put People and Culture at the forefront and the 2020s have been — in my opinion — an overall downward trend in dignity of the workforce, with easy access to capital and under-experienced leaders at the helm of organisations. The present-day opportunity for someone like me is to partner with organisations that can imagine their playing field a couple of years into the future, and are building for that. That their need from me is to match their endurance for long-term direction, transparency of operations, clarity of goals, a track record of low to no lay-offs. To create a team of bias-aware and self-aware leaders who respond positively to greater accountability and autonomy. This, to my mind, will be the differentiating employer brand 5 years hence.

You want to work with me if:

  • You want your people to have psychological safety, agency and the ability to grow their own careers.
  • You are unafraid of the massive shift this might require how you work.
  • You have hope and vision for your organisation to thrive five, ten, even fifteen years from now, and are open to exploring how to make that happen.

If you would like marginal shifts in systems & processes, then I can refer you to good HR folks who align with that endgame.
