Abstract
I have over 13 years of experience in management consulting, business research and HR analytics and have worked as both a seller of research/consulting and a user in two large IT services firms. Currently, I run a start-up called Unearth Insights wherein we are developing decision insights products for niche technology start-ups, venture capitalists and enterprise clients. We are attempting to disrupt consulting and analytics through a model of “pay for insight” rather than big and thick data. I have been associated and actively participated with senior business and HR leaders to shape operations strategies of companies, identify human capital implications and design people practices, enhancing performance and productivity of the organization. On the consulting side, I have engaged with global giants on market entry strategy, industry analysis and assessment, talent supply mapping, vendor analysis, peer group benchmarking, financial analysis and war gaming across IT, software product development, pharma/FMCG and agri-manufacturing sectors. Additionally, my fortitude lies in crafting expertise in business development initiatives like industry teasers, target identification and proposal development. Prior to Unearth, I was with HCL Technologies, leading the Market Intelligence and HR Analytics practice, delivering value consulting through research and analytics to CHRO, CEO and the board. I have also worked with Accenture India and boutique consulting firms such as Zinnov and Knowledge Faber.
期刊介绍:
South Asian Journal of Human Resources Management (SAJHRM) is a peer-reviewed scholarly outlet for publications on HRM in and out of South Asia. It includes countries that are members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In terms of the discipline focus, all articles broadly focusing on the theory and practice of managing human resources for the benefit of individuals, firms and community at large will be acceptable. In view of the contemporary focus on Strategic HRM, the journal coverage would also include comparative research and other related management disciplines as long as one of the key aims of the manuscript is on harnessing the potential of human capital. Considering the uneven economic development within the South Asian region, the journal encourages potential authors to explore broader implications of their scholarly views and findings on the region as a whole. A distinguishing feature of the journal is its focus on “HR in Practice”. Apart from theory, it will pay significant attention on how HRM is practiced in and out of South Asia. The journal features conceptual and empirical research papers, research notes, interviews, case studies and book reviews. In short, to be considered for publication, a manuscript should broadly focus on managing people and contextualised within one or more South Asian countries at the firm, regional, national and international levels.
