The conference brought together top HR industry experts, HR industry influencers, business experts & decision-makers, HR professionals and HR technology creators on a common platform.

    Ms. Achal Khanna, CEO, SHRM India & Head – Global Business Development while formally inaugurating the conference highlighted the need for businesses and HR teams supporting them to be at the forefront of HR tech innovations. She also emphasized the role played by conferences such as this one, in providing a platform for global experts and visionaries and technology developers to connect and network for the betterment of the HR practice as a whole.

    Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President & CEO, SHRM in his opening address, highlighting the need for innovation in the human resource field by organizations globally, said, “Technology is changing the way we work today. Today one can work from anywhere, and at any time as per their convenience. Only those organizations who understand the value of human talent and human capital and innovate to attract the best talent will move forward, those who don’t will face a difficult future.”

    Vineet Nayar, Founder Chairman, Sampark Foundation & former CEO, HCL Technologies, in his keynote address on ‘Organizational Transformation‘ drew upon his experience of transforming HCL technologies to provide deep insights into transformation as a structured, multi-layered process.
