A thorough professional approach and meeting the demands of profession is my success Mantra. 3. One thing, which you learnt from your mistake? Most lifetime lessons are learnt from mistakes; the ability to recognize them accept and grow over it helps one evolve as a better person and grow professionally. More importantly, one learns to plan better and avoid them to negligible levels over a period of time. Personally, I learnt I should deep dive into details while planning to avoid mistakes.  4.

Empathy, Sympathy along with Respect for each other will be irreplaceable. 5. Do you think the Artificial Intelligence will be a challenge for HR?

Hence it is not just about better time management; it isall about better self-management. The discipline to move with scheduled plan is mandatory to reap from time. 8. How do you connect people in your busy schedule?

Man right from his birth till his death, keeps on learning various things. Learn, Unlearn and Relearn is an adaptive process to our environment. The better one does this the more adept is he in understanding himself and his environment and this is a great tool for anyone looking to grow exponentially. 13. Do you think the present skills of HR professionals will be outdated in next years? HR professions like any other profession's skill sets continually change with time for “Change is the only constant thing”. The technology that people deal with and the work environment that they work under are on a continual upgrade and hence the skill sets need an upgrade too. Plus staying updated is always necessary for smooth working across professions. 14. What can HR do to influence the company culture? HR can be torch bearers. We need to set an example. Identify priorities, prioritize them and the naim to get the right things done. We need to follow the “hear- hear” policy which means, we should listen to people, value their views & have mutual respect. A two-way path of open communication with set priorities should help steer the company culture in right direction. 15. What keeps you passionate about social work? Giving, sharing is a natural trait for humans. Man is a social animal, and we are the integrated part of the society. With a Master's degree in Social work specializing in HR from a reputed Social Work Institute (The School of Social Work Roshni Nilaya), I have only structured and organized my sharing and giving experiences. The result is Sajjana Prathishtana Beejadakatte“ registered under Indian Trust Act. We have been able to impact lives and build livelihoods. It has been very active in covid times with several initiatives in rural areas like distribution of corona kit, ration kit, masks and sanitizers to government offices/ schools …. We have arranged various training programmes for the rural student.” There is a whole lot of people involved in it. Personally, I just believe in giving back something to the society and follow it diligently.
