Could you give a brief account of your professional journey and what inspired you to establish GREENHRM Solutions?
My professional odyssey began in a boarding school, leading to an MBA from XISS, Ranchi. Over three decades, I have navigated diverse roles in different organizations, which include, Tata, Jindal, Evonith, and ended my corporate journey with UK-based Liberty Steel Group where I was CHRO.
Personal passion, high professional commitment, and great people skills ignited the flame of entrepreneurship within me and was further fueled through long-time association with friend and colleague Jaydeep Sarkar who had a vision to think differently.
In June 2022, GREENHRM Solutions emerged, driven by a
mission to infuse environmental conscious-ness into HR practices.

Achievement of Vision 2030 is our commitment to Jharkhand, a state where I was born, educated, and started my professional journey. Jharkhand is rich in Jal, Jungle, and Jameen (Water, Forest & Land). It is our responsibility to give back many more times to Jharkhand. We will soon form a social organization (Not for Profit), aligning with our mission.
In light of your experience, what would be your advice to budding industry leaders?
My advice to budding industry leaders is rooted in the importance of focus and clarity. It's essential to define clear goals, values, and vision. Here are five principles they should adopt: First, embrace the 3P model: People, Planet, and Profit. Secondly, shift perspective: view People as Revenue, not just Cost. Thirdly, develop active listening skills for deeper understanding. Fourthly, prioritize integrity in all dealings, fostering trust. Lastly, embrace discomfort and be ready to sacrifice for growth. These principles form a solid foundation for navigating the complexities of leadership and achieving sustainable success.
