Comfort builds confidence. It can also limit where you go next. In @HRkatha's #herSTORY, RichaDubey of @NayaraEnergy chose complexity over stability, and what that shift demands. Read: hrkatha.com/features/herst…

Most companies believe in meritocracy. But can meritocracy say “no” to the CEO’s daughter? Run a fair process, and it risks becoming theatre. Bypass it, and credibility takes a hit. So what should HR do?#HRKathaCaseInPoint #Meritocracy hrkatha.com/features/case-…

The room usually reveals itself after the decision is made. Context isn’t instinct or experience. Both can mislead. It’s knowing what will work here and now, and why. Most skip the hard part. Reflection. hrkatha.com/features/hr-po…

Spoke with @kshankar21 on AI and the future of work. His view: workforce reduction is inevitable. But the bigger challenge is human. “AI will recommend. Humans must decide.” Worth a read: hrkatha.com/people/dialogu…

AI will grow-after validation, not hype; Career paths will shift, won't collapse Most organisations evolve. Layer by layer. #HRForecast2026" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hrkatha.com/features/hr-fo…

Are we overestimating disruption and underestimating adaptation? Vinod Nair's grounded take - Skills will rise, degrees won't disappear;

“Keep learning.” But when learning never stops, does it become pressure? Are employees growing—or just trying to stay relevant? A sharp POV on HRKatha. Read: hrkatha.com/features/point… #Upskilling #FutureOfWork @ranjithmenon @KamleshDangi15 @_RRKabel

Uncertainty isn’t the problem—our discomfort with it is. Rushing for clarity often leads to poor decisions. The real edge? Navigating ambiguity with clarity of thought. Read more: hrkatha.com/special/editor… #Leadership #DecisionMaking #FutureOfWork

$50B flows into India from Gulf workers annually—3.5% of GDP. How many companies are planning for disruption? Almost none. Waiting for certainty has a cost. I call it the certainty tax. hrkatha.com/special/editor…

Most AI transformations don’t fail in the system. They fail in the mind. When employees hear “AI is coming”, they don’t hear efficiency. They hear: am I still needed? That’s the gap ShikhaSaxena of @HCL_Healthcare is talking about hrkatha.com/features/persp…

Agentic AI will handle 95% of routine decisions autonomously. The 5% left for humans will be the most consequential ones. Organisations are investing heavily in the former. Most have barely started preparing for the latter. hrkatha.com/features/resea…

We’ve built systems that are very good at bringing people in, and structurally indifferent to keeping them. hrkatha.com/special/editor…

Hiring has teams, tools, incentives. Retention has surveys and exit interviews. We optimise what we fund— then act surprised by attrition.

Companies don’t have a retention problem. They have a budgeting problem. Hiring is funded. Retention is expected.

5-year plans didn't just become outdated. They became liabilities. By the time a 5-year strategy reaches execution, the assumptions it was built on no longer hold. hrkatha.com/features/hr-fo…

A competitive divide is opening. Not in technology. Not in talent. By 2026, psychological safety won't be cultural aspiration. It will be the divider between organizations that thrive—and those that stagnate. [link] #HRForecast2026 @ranjithmenon hrkatha.com/features/hr-fo…

Indian workers top the global table for “snooze days”—sick days taken purely due to exhaustion. 92% have taken at least one in the past year. This isn’t a wellness problem. It’s a work design problem. hrkatha.com/features/resea…

Organisations talk empowerment. They still operate through control. By 2026, that gap will be visible—and structural. The advantage won’t be AI adoption. It will be human judgment AI can’t replicate. Read: hrkatha.com/features/hr-fo…

Huge layoffs are coming. Across the board.

A line from @HRkatha latest herSTORY stayed with me. “By leaning on a strong support system and finding my own voice, I stopped seeking a seat at the table and started building my own.” DhanashreeThakkar - @bhartiaxalife hrkatha.com/features/herst…
