From three years in technology at TCS to an MBA degree from XLRI, that’s how Sudipto was able to take a plunge into Human Resources from Technology. Eventually both combined together in his current role at Tata Sons. Sudipto believes that there is a pressing need to identify the relevant skills of the future and create an ecosystem that enables rapid skill building, while encouraging a ‘growth mindset’ across the organization. He believes that while today, the HR team plays a key role in supporting board decisions through data, however, the future for HR is to have seat on the Board of the organization.
