Hey {{First Name| there}},

Every HR team we talk to is being asked to do more with less: smaller budgets, frozen headcount, and a workforce that's quietly rewriting the rules on its own terms.

Job hugging, task masking, quiet cracking, none of these existed as terms a few years ago, and now they're showing up in every retention conversation. At the same time, AI is changing how decisions get made faster than most policies can keep up with.

There's no perfect playbook for any of this, which is exactly the point. HR Playbook 8.0 is built around The Resourceful HR, the leaders who solve real problems with whatever's actually on hand, not what a slide deck says they need.

📌Meet the speakers!

  • Surabhi Sanchita, CHRO at Stanza Living, is the organizational-transformation expert who made this year's Top 50 HR Leaders to Follow list - and she's bringing that expertise straight to our "Gone Underground" panel on job hugging, task masking, and quiet cracking.

  • Sirshendu Mookherjee, Group CHRO at Narayana Health, joins that same panel with two decades of untangling people problems across Tata, Nokia, and Danaher.

  • Neetu Singh, CHRO & India Site Leader at Naviga, steps into our live debate on whether employees should get to say no to AI at work, backed by two decades scaling HR at global tech and media companies.

  • Dr. GP Rao, award-winning HR leader, executive coach, and board advisor, brings four decades of leadership wisdom to the Playbook stage.

  • Rahul Maitra, Head HR (India & Developing Markets) at Amneal Pharmaceuticals and a board-level Independent Director, goes head-to-head on whether HR should split into specialist verticals. He's rebuilt people functions at Tata Motors, Merck, and Ambuja Cement.

  • Latha Iyer, CHRO at Zaggle, takes the other side of that debate. She led Zaggle through its IPO while tripling headcount.

  • Rohit Hasteer, CHRO at REA India Housing.com, joins our masterclass lineup with over two decades building scalable HR ecosystems and Great Places to Work across digital-first, fast-growing businesses, including formative stints at MakeMyTrip and UTi Worldwide.

  • Dr. S. Naga Siddharth, GHRLE, leads a masterclass with a PhD-backed lens on unlocking willing performance, shaped by work across NHRD and even a stretch with the Bengaluru Traffic Police.

More speakers to be revealed soon.
