Vantage Circle, a behavioural-science-powered global employee recognition and rewards SaaS-platform, recently concluded two dynamic days of thought leadership at the SHRM TECH 2.0 Conference & Expo25 held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. As a frontrunner in transforming workplace culture through technology-driven solutions, Vantage Circle engaged in powerful conversations around the future of Recognition & Rewards (R&R) and its larger role in the HR ecosystem.
As workplaces across the globe race to integrate generative AI into everyday operations, Partha Neog, CEO and co-founder of Vantage Circle, took center stage in a compelling panel discussion titled “Workplace 2.0: Decoding Culture for Gen AI Success”, held on May 21st. The conversation brought together leading voices across industries to examine how workplace culture must evolve to support the seamless adoption of Gen AI while staying rooted in human values.
Joining Partha on the panel were Chetana Patnaik, CHRO at LTI Mindtree; Aman Gupta, CHRO at Tata Communications; and Radhi Agarwal, India Customer Lead for MS365 Copilot Agents, Microsoft. Together, the speakers explored how leadership, employee expectations, and recognition frameworks are being reshaped by the rise of AI-powered tools and workflows.
Partha further emphasised the critical role of Intelligent Recognition. Recognition that is not only timely and meaningful but also driven by behavioral insights and contextual relevance. He argued that in an AI-augmented environment, the need for empathy, appreciation, and purpose at work becomes even more pronounced. Recognition must move beyond routine rewards and become a strategic lever that reinforces the behaviors organisations want to scale.
Partha Neog, CEO and co-founder of Vantage Circle stated, “The future of work is not just about adopting new technologies but about evolving our workplace culture to harness AI’s true potential. At Vantage Circle, we believe that technology should amplify human connection and recognition, not replace it. This conference reaffirmed that organisations ready to embrace AI with a people-first mindset will lead the way in building resilient, engaged, and innovative workplaces."
