Transformative role of CHRO

It was an absolute honor to serve as the #keynote speaker during the 8th #CHRO Confex & Awards 2024 – Pune Chapter, held on 4th December 2024 at Novotel Pune Nagar Road, organized by Gain Skills Business Media Pvt Ltd.  

I had the privilege of sharing insights on the #transformative role of the #CHRO in today’s dynamic business landscape. As organizations navigate complexities like geopolitical challenges, digital & AI transformation, talent challenges, and evolving employee expectations, the CHRO’s role has expanded from being a custodian of #HR to a #strategic driver of #culture, innovation, and organizational growth.

My heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and the participants for making this event a remarkable experience.

Leadership in Society

I had the privilege of speaking at the Young Inspirators Network (YIN) conference of Sakal Media Group, where I addressed students on the “Society First” approach and leadership.

Leadership is not about titles, positions, or power—it’s about behaviors, responsibility, and the impact we create. True leaders think beyond personal success and focus on how their actions benefit society.

In today’s world, we need leaders who:

Take ownership of problems and find solutions.

Encourage collaboration instead of division.

Empower others rather than just seeking authority.

When we put society first, we build trust, drive positive change, and create a better future for everyone.

I was truly inspired by the energy and ideas of young minds at YIN. The future of leadership looks bright!

I also got the opportunity to facilitate another speaker MR. Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister- Skills, Employment and Entrepraunership, Maharashtra State.

Podcast- Navigating the industrial landscape of Pune

It was an absolute pleasure to be invited by Dr. Aditya Bavadekar on AB’ Podium about the transformation and industrial landscape of Pune City.

Pune has long been known as the Oxford of the East, but its industrial growth has been equally remarkable. From being an automobile and manufacturing hub to embracing IT, startups, and innovation-driven industries, Pune continues to evolve as a key economic powerhouse in India.

During the session, we explored:

>> The historical evolution of Pune’s industries, 

>> The impact of digital transformation and Industry 4.0,

>> The Role of Industries, Management, and Government in Enhancing Pune’s Productivity,

>> How and Why Migrants Should Be More Accommodative of Local Culture

>> The role of talent, education, and leadership in shaping Pune’s future,

>> The challenges and opportunities that lie ahead

A big thank you to Dr. Aditya Bavadekar and the AB’ Podium team for this insightful discussion. Engaging with professionals, students, and industry leaders on such critical topics reaffirms my belief that Pune is on the path to becoming a global innovation hub.

Would love to hear your thoughts—where do you see Pune’s industrial landscape heading in the next decade?
