Life doesn\u2019t always go as planned, and it\u2019s important to remain open to new possibilities. My journey reflects this mindset. I started as an engineer by choice, but HR came to me by chance. After graduating as an engineer, I joined HCL as a software engineer, but the recession hit, and I had to rethink my career path.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I was always inclined toward sales and marketing and was clear that I wanted to pursue my master\u2019s degree. However, during the recession, I was offered an opportunity to become a recruiter. I decided to take it up, thinking it would be a great way to experiment, and learn something new, in the hope that it might help during my master\u2019s. And that\u2019s how I found myself in HR.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why did I choose the SOIL Institute of Management for my management education?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"quo\">\n<p class=\"tc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/quote.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"width: 18px;\"><\/p>\n<p><em>A few years into my recruitment role, I heard about the SOIL Institute of Management from a colleague who was part of the first batch. I was intrigued by the curriculum and decided to take a leap of faith.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I wasn\u2019t keeping any high expectations. The worst-case scenario, I thought, would be going back to my role at HCL with a modest salary hike. But, I\u2019m a firm believer in taking risks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And it was a risk that paid off!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The most memorable and transformative experiences of my life!<\/h2>\n<div class=\"quo\">\n<p class=\"tc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/quote.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"width: 18px;\"><\/p>\n<p><em>My time at SOIL was filled with learning, growth, and fun. I was part of the student council, even though I often got called out for being late to the morning circle. Those were valuable minutes I missed out on, and I still remember how Anil Sir used to scold me for it. However, these moments taught me discipline and accountability.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One of my professors, Noel, taught organisational design. I remember getting caught talking during an exam, which led to my paper being cancelled. It wasn\u2019t intentional cheating; just a casual conversation gone wrong. That incident taught me the importance of focus and integrity in everything I do. It was a lesson I carried with me throughout my career. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The biggest realisation I had at SOIL was the importance of risk-taking and pushing beyond my boundaries. I learned to experiment with new things, discover my strengths, and connect with a larger purpose. Life isn\u2019t always about the plans you make; it\u2019s about being open to what comes your way.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When the time for placements came, we were motivated by the success of the senior batch, who had all secured good jobs. Though we only overlapped for 15 days, the sense of community and support among students made a significant impact. We were six people living in a flat, burning the midnight oil to complete our assignments, ensuring originality and fostering creativity.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The decision that shaped my career, post-SOIL<\/h2>\n<div class=\"quo\">\n<p class=\"tc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/quote.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"width: 18px;\"><\/p>\n<p><em>After SOIL, I was rehired by HCL as part of their process and technology team. This was my first exposure to HR tech, and it opened my eyes to the vast world of HR processes, policies, and employee experience. It wasn\u2019t just recruitment anymore; I began to understand the entire HR landscape and how it fits together.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>After three and a half years at HCL, I took another risk\u2014leaving a company with over 100,000 employees to join PeopleStrong, a much smaller organisation with only 150 employees. While I had an offer from Oracle, I chose PeopleStrong because I wanted to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was a decision that has shaped my career\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why did I choose HR Tech over a traditional HR career?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"quo\">\n<p class=\"tc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/quote.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"width: 18px;\"><\/p>\n<p><em>The transition to PeopleStrong allowed me to delve deeper into HR tech, process consulting, and employee experience. Over the years, I realised that HR tech excited me more than the typical HR business partner role. It became my forte, and I found myself in advisory and consulting roles that suited my interests.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Many people ask why I didn\u2019t pursue a CHRO role, but I\u2019ve always felt more aligned with HR tech. There\u2019s no right or wrong path in a career; it\u2019s about what excites you and where your strengths lie.
