Business World People Magazine - April - May 2023

In this issue

Well, the BW People 40 Under 40 Awards are an endeavour
in that direction. And we have been successful
in identifying such HR leaders who come with a balance
of those. Especially Covid, followed by ‘Next Normal’, has
brought out the best in HR leadership. Young leaders
have shown phenomenal grit, understanding of people
issues and organisational goals and ability to solve tricky
problems. In this issue, we bring to you our annual 40
Under 40 Awards, and interviews of the awardees.
In this issue of BW People, we also bring to you the
‘Most Influential Women in HR’ and perspectives of
women leadership. An external advisory committee comprising
senior corporate and HR leadership identified
20 women HR leaders who have made a deep impact
in their respective organisations. Also, in sync with the
UN theme of ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for
gender equality’, we also understood from them how they
and the organisations they represent are providing the
benefits of technology to women workforce. The responses
we got from the women leadership were heartening –
women are being recruited because they deserve it, and
not as another box to be tick-marked in the DEI agenda.
Like any other recruit, they get the skilling and upskilling
opportunity if they show the potential and feel there is a
skill gap to be filled.
This issue is also rich with interviews of Vikram
Chhachhi, Managing Partner, India, DHR Global; Yvette
Cameron, Senior Vice President of Global HCM Product
Strategy, Oracle; and Chitbhanu Nagri, Senior VP People
Operations, Razorpay, among others.
Happy Reading.
