As Head-Group HR I reported to the CMD and was a member of the Core Committee ( the top management team ). I was responsible for building a robust 50 member HR team that comprised a mix of functional specialists deployed at the corporate office to develop and implement HR practices for Performance Management, Talent Acquisition, Compensation, Benefits and HR Operations, and Learning & Development whose efforts were augmented by some strong HR business partners who interacted closely with the line managers and ensured that their needs for HR support were fully met. The 7 years under my watch saw the company transform itself from a company making industrial enzymes to one of Asia’s best and most admired BioPharma manufacturer while Group companies – Syngene International Limited and Clinigene International Limited became leading CROs in their own right. The employee strength of the group increased from under 2000 when I took charge in early 2007 to a little under 8000 by late 2013 when I decided to move on. Looking back, I can say with pride and satisfaction that I have been instrumental in scaling up Biocon's human capital and processes, to keep in step with the company's growth in the past decade by bringing in top talent from international locations and setting up appropriate HR systems and processes virtually from scratch keeping pace with rapid growth.

By the year 2000 I was confident of my specialist HR skills, and when SmithKline Beecham merged with the much larger ( in India at least ) Glaxo, I felt the time was right for me to move to a role where I was heading the HR function and reporting to the MD. Allergan was a small and nimble company that was a leader in the ophthalmic pharmaceutical segment. As a member of the Management Team I got an excellent exposure to the Pharmaceutical business that helped me to excel at my role. I was fortunate to enjoy the trust and confidence of the 2 MDs I got to work with and also the Regional HR Director based in Australia , all of whom have given me glowing references which are listed on my profile. I was responsible for Human Resource, Administration and also had the Sales Training team reporting into me. Organizational Development at Allergan : Anchored the Vision formulation exercise in 2005-2006 involving articulation of company core values, strategic principle and defining a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” for the coming years. I developed and facilitated the annual performance / potential grid exercise done for all managers to Introduce Talent management using the 9 box model. I also used to facilitate the 6 monthly two day off-site G- 17 meeting of senior managers , and facilitated a 2 day offsite of the Management Committee.

My friends never understood why I moved from Mumbai to Nashik. The 3.5 years I spent at what was then Crompton Greaves LTCG division was a great opportunity for me. I managed HR for 3 plants including this one with around 1000 employees . There was a lot of IR but I also did a lot of training and was involved in the TQM implementation and the ISO 9001 certification.

The first 3 years of my career were spent in a paint factory. In those days HR was mostly Industrial relations and the never ending dynamics and intrigues of the internal and external workers unions kept me on my toes. The last year in GNP was at the head office in Mubai.
